Unpacking and setup easy, are not many parts. Tightening the screws accessible after about 1 week is recommended. We have 4 cats and 2 Scratching, this one looks like a few weeks from when he was just one year old. Tightening is no longer helps a lot, he still shakes and the string dissolves into many small filaments that have the cat in fur. The ladder is only stability purposes, as cats can loose jump out and not this need. Removes one tips the ladder, then there is a risk that the scratching post. Overall, I would recommend this scratching post only for smaller, lighter cats advice (kittens), because it is very convenient. Nevertheless, 3 points for reasonable price.
