Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This package arrived several days ago, but I was intimidated about the assembly so I let it sit for a few days. I decided to tackle it tonight since my husband is not home and will not try to "help" (interfere). I took all of the pieces out of the box and arranged them in the bathroom floor. It is crucial to close the door so that you do not receive feline assistance. Do not be swayed by the constant crying of the cats. They know that there is a party in the bathroom and they are missing out. At first, I was irritated because I felt like some of the holes had not been drilled all of the way through the base of the box and I thought some of the pieces were different than the drawings on the instructions. Here is a crucial piece of advice. WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO! Some kind soul has posted a video on how to assemble this product. The video saved my sanity. Do not hesitate to watch part of it, pause it while you do a little assembly, rewind and watch that part again, and go back to assemble some more. The hardest part is the "box". Once you have that completed, you are golden. After I finished and brought it out to the living room, the cats LOVED it. I sprayed the cushions with liquid catnip to encourage them to explore. Fat Cat did not fit in the box but I knew when I ordered that he would not. He is a handsome hunk of cat, but at 22 pounds he is pretty large (he is on obesity management food and lost 2 1/2 pounds last year so I hope the trend will continue for the next few years). There were a few skirmishes over territory (we have 3 cats) but I feel like each cat will have claimed his/her spot by the end of the week. I have attached a picture of Annabelle (Siamese mix) and Biscotti (Baby Kitty) exploring the kitty condo.
