Assembly
===========
The delivery was complete, the assembly instructions could be understandable, but a Inbuss key was settled. Striking were the many lint, which transformed the living room during assembly into a little mess. One thing: vacuuming and well. But definitely not a star deduction! However, the Assembly was not quite as easy as the instructions showed in one picture only, as which parts belong together. Sufficient, but you should at least worry a few minutes before the start, so you start.

Optics and smell
=============
In short: The actual scratching post looks (after aspiration) from super. Unpleasant or penetrating smells I could not find, so I would say: Odorless. Note the really incredible shabby toy mice, which are stapled at the three galleries. Blessing in disguise that our cats they have made relatively quickly broken. On the other hand I think: The scratching post is for cats and not for me; Expect When You who like the most important thing is over. :)

After 6 months
============
After 6 months, all mice are broken: 2 have been (3 months) ripped and gnawed partially down in a very short time by very young cats. 1 mouse could dangle a little longer. Here can be divided into self-employment but a remedy: buy "beautiful" mice, connect, finished.
The mice are not my reason for 2 star deduction and the manual is not. It is the screw-thread, because the troublemakers Katz and man: The upper platforms are indeed "screwed", but the thread seem to rotate, which in turn ensures that the platforms in fact not be fixed, but also rotate slightly , So if our cats jumping with some momentum on the platforms, then you will experience at the same time a Karusellfahrt. Furthermore, a thread of the bottom plate got broken, so that the corresponding screw, which connects one of the high towers to the base plate, no longer holds.

Meanwhile, after 6 months, the remuneration dissolve gradually from scratch (not sisal scratching posts).

The value for money is in my opinion very good. The deficiencies described above do not constitute a danger for humans and cats, but some finishing time is necessary. Therefore, I like the scratching post - optically very good, reasonably high and I decided to give only 1 star deduction.
