This wheel is actually quite lovely, Im very pleased with how it turned out. My cats do not have any interest... yet! I will continue to work on that. I cant give it the full 5 stars though - putting this together was a BEAST. My teenage son and I read the instructions as best as we could, but they were real bad - it took us about 2.5 hours to put it together. Keep that in mind, and some of this is far easier with 2 people. Anyway, its what I expected as far as looks and quality! Putting it together made me realize just how sturdy it really is! And if put together correctly, there isnt much noise at all - very quiet.
