Used shipping time as Buy from Amazon rather short (2 days), packed in a large cardboard box, in which the dimensions of the barrel are first aware of (1m * 45cm).
The barrel makes a robust impression, the "nest" above is soft and very fluffy, my cat loves it.
However, the ton of a strong odor of wood and probably glue that although my Fellnasen not bother me but a little.
The mounted in the second level at the entrance hole gaming mouse is indeed cute and determines meant nice, but my "huge" Kitty with her whole 2,9kg killed the mouse in not even 5 minutes to speak, they simply tore off.
Furthermore, a negative impression which is in the upper level, a clear plan should be seen in the role of wood in the interior. The role itself is nevertheless very stable and therefore the crack of me was ignored, possibly a transport damage.
The ton is quite heavy and should also "heavy" cat chunks can not be thrown off balance. Visually I like the ton like, because it is very simple and not so monstös and misshapen how much scratching posts.
The cover to scratch is stable. My cat scratch equal to the net high and then doing a nap. When scratch possibility ton was immediately accepted.
In total absolute buy recommendation, deductions due to the smell and the slight drawbacks (mouse and crack in the wood).
