No, the assembly instructions are lacking and confusing.
Highlighted Reviews
"Well it's not bad, it's big and fairly stable. In step 7 the E bolts are to short I feel like you could remedy this by counter sinking part 9. I used a B bolt upfront and an E bolt from the top in back so it at least sits in the hole and acts like a pin so it doesn't shift."
"Assembly was a nightmare. Instructions were very lacking. Some screws were too short to even start threading. The metal for the basket bent the first time my cat sat in it. The level with only 3 corner supports started sagging on the unsupported corner after 1 week."
Bottom Line
While the cat tree is functional and well-priced, the significant assembly and durability problems should be addressed. Despite its limitations, it could be suitable for owners trying to keep their cats engaged and happy on a budget.
