The scratching post was delivered in a medium-sized box which was very heavy and had to be carried by 2 persons in the living room. The construction took 1 hour would be gone faster if the assembly instructions have been better. When building our already rascals have taken the cat tree in fog. One of our cats has never located on the old cat tree, has immediately taken the tree as a roost bracket and seems very comfortable feeling. The other cats climbing around it, playing with the appended mice and the thick rope. The cave is well accepted and used as a resting place. The den has 3 front peepholes, so everything can be well observed. The cat tree looks just like the picture, it is very stable due to the two floorboards. For the price a great tree, because you can not go wrong, the trees of this size and features usually cost more than 150 euros. The shipment of 9.90 euros is due to the great weight, perfectly okay
