I just got this two days ago and it came in very sturdy box within another sturdy box. It was delivered to my porch and I brought it upstars to my second floor rental in pieces as can't lift the 70 lbs.I am very pleased and my cats have taken to it. One cat is 10 lbs and the other 13 lbs. I bought is so the lighter cat could have a perch to get up from the heavier cat who is a little bit of a bully. No funny odd smells came out of the box or the condo.

I would have given 5 stars if the holes were all drilled correctly. The "ladder to nowhere" I think is part of the support and rather than leave it off I determined to try to attach it even though only one screw and hole lined up. One screw hole is right at the edge of the cubby and the other screw hole ended up underneath the cubby. Had I know that before I put it all together I could have drilled a different hole that worked. One screw is not enough to make the ladder stable. There is nothing to secure the ladder to the bottom - only two separate screws to each top part. I had to take some short nails and toenail in about 4 small nails to secure the one side. Also the directions are visual and it really took some spacial thinking to get the thing right. Some of the fabric obscures the drilled holes and I stabbed myself trying to open up one of them and left a bit of blood on the wood to show for the effort :).

For the price, size and overall I think it's a good deal. I have a smaller condo by a different manufacturer and I like this brand better.

This is a great product. Our cats scratched at EVERYTHING...until this tree arrived. They occasionally get lost and scratch other things, but much rarer now.

PROS: 1. Easy to assemble
2. Instructions not necessary (That's for the guys who refuse to look at instructions ever !!!!)
3. Many ways for cats to climb to top
4. Rope sections are a cats delight for climbing and claw sharpening.
5. Stability is good.
6. Price is excellent compared to other versions at stores.

CONS: 1. Stairway leads to no place...stairs are ill-designed, but irrelevant. Cats rapidly figure out humans are idiots!
2. Cats more interested in this than you.

Of Interest: At least lay out columns first so you don't put the uniquely designed top floor columns on in the mid field.

++++Also: This is really a must for any cat owner....even if your cat doesn't have claws, jumping from floor to floor is very easy.

The cat tower arrived much sooner then expected. It took about 20 minutes to assemble...although the instructions were just pictures...no written instructions. My cats took it the tower immediately! It is very stable and withstands the cats jumping and playing all over it. Only problem is I should have bought it sooner. I know my cats are much happier since I purchased this for them.
