The first thing I noticed when opening the box was that the smell of cedar wood wafted out. It smells great, and that was an unexpected surprise.
The box (and hence the completed product) is lighter than I expected. I'm happy about that. I had been a little worried that it would be heavy and cumbersome to move from downstairs to upstairs or vice versa.
Assembly is easy and took about 20–30 minutes. All you need is one philips screwdriver or drill. I used a screwdriver since I didn't have my drill handy, but I would recommend the drill, if possible. The screw holes are typically drilled through on the outward-facing part but not on the inner part, which means that you have to drive the screw through the wood. The cedar is soft so it's not too bad, but it would be quite a bit easier with a drill.
The craftsmanship is surprisingly good for an $80 all-wood. Everything lined up perfectly.
The inside area is about 17" by 17". We bought a 22" by 15" pad (since we couldn't find a square one) and it fits in there perfectly (it curves slightly up the walls on the pad's longer dimension).
We put ours in our bedroom facing the bed and decided to only install two of the pieces of lattice. It fit perfectly, the sunroof being only a half-inch lower than the bed itself.
Worth every penny.

V cute wooden pet house perfect for a cat or smaller pet
I bought this cat house to serve as an indoors feeding spot for one of my geriatric cats (6 lbs) who's on her way out. I wanted something that would fit in our room, be high enough for our Pom/Spitz mix (18 lb) dog to stay out of, and had a platform large enough to accommodate food and water bowls.NOTE: I've had the house set up and in use for 4 days.PROS:- Lower price tag than competitors.- It's cedar, so it doesn't smell of chemicals (e.g., like a painted one might) and absorbs water without terribly rotting out the wood. (I might consider treating it with a water repellant at some point, though.)- The platform fits my cat's food and water bowls (2 separate bowls) nicely.- The platform is high enough to keep my dog out of the food bowl on it.- It's adorable!CON:So far, I can only see one con. Like many others have mentioned, the stairs are a little awkward. I'm not sure if it's just the fact that the stairs are oriented to the SIDE of the platform (vs. leading up to the platform), that there's no backing under the steps (it's just space, not a solid staircase), and/or that there are only three steps. My 6 lb cat kind of uses the steps, but she typically will put her paw on the second step and then jump to the platform.My cats won't go inside the hole/cubby at the bottom, but that's just because they're weird (they don't do this with any of the previous cubbies we've bought them!).

It was a HIT, for our little one.
Again, Dog owners, beware of the narrow staircase. The same seller sells separate staircases that fit perfectly if you are specifically concerned about the stairs.

A MUST for your pup that likes people watching

Easy to assemble! Might need an electric screw driver for faster assembly but the pieces were easy to put together(pretty obvious what belonged with what) and it was ready in 30 minutes! Take the parts out, match them up, match the screws up to the holes where they belong, tighten them, and you're done. Made from real wood which makes it sturdy, and a nice piece of furniture that compliments your house for your pup. My only complaint is the super narrow staircase.. I'm convinced that the stairs were made only for a cat. If your dog doesn't have problems jumping up onto high platforms then the staircase won't be an issue. All it takes is a big leap for my dog, as if he were to jump on our couch or the bed. Carmelo is 21 pounds and has a super long body and he fits perfectly in the top of the castle, unfortunately the bottom scares him a bit. BUT, since he loves it so much it gets 5 stars anyway. My boyfriend calls this thing his(our pup's) castle and he melts every time he comes home and sees how cute he looks in the window sleeping in the top floor of his castle. Like Macy's around Christmas time and the puppies in the window sleeping soundly.Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

La escalera es una porquería, pero me sirvió para reforzar las juntas y el soporte del piso y compré otra.
Le puse laca a ambos pisos para que sea más facil la limpieza.
Tienes algo más cómodo o para acomodar vinilos.
