honestly i was skeptical because most cheap towers fall over when my big boy (hes 16lbs) jumps on them but this S74-LP model is steady. it took me about 45 minutes to do it by myself while drinking wine so assembly is def easy. the leopard print is super tacky in a cute way i love it. they have so many places to sleep now they dont even come on the couch with me anymore lol. highly reccomend if u have multiple cats.
