I know, for the price one must not expect a lot, but a little disappointed but then I was. The construction is easy, the description is good, but the materials are disappointing. While I expect from other cat trees wood in the columns, I'll be disappointed here with cardboard, which have plastic ends, with the metal threads. In stronger tightening the screw, the plastic triggers the cardboard tubes, thus is a really unstable design as a whole. Thank God, our hangovers quite small and light (Persians, grown small and just barely over 3.5 kg), because a full-grown Hofkater would this cat tree decompose within minutes. I'm curious how long he holds out, the hangover have so far a lot of fun to it, which is why I will not return the tree.
Next time I will, however, draw back to more expensive, better quality.
