It took me about 30 minutes to assemble. Once assembled, its decently sturdy but I dont think itd survive a household move. If I were to start over, Id wood glue everything as I went to make it very sturdy. There was one place during assembly where the wooden peg didnt go in as far as it should and it damaged one of the corners, but not a huge deal for me, I just fixed it with some wood glue.
I lined almost the entire inside of it with foam shelf liner (using white duct tape to attach it and seal the edges) to make it easier to clean and, in case our kitty has an accident outside of the box, it wont ruin the whole thing. This took an extra 15 minutes and $10, but I think its well worth it long-term.
Our cat is really easy-going and adjusts easily, so she had no issues adjusting to using it. In fact, she likes boxes so much I had to keep shooing her away while making it because she really just wanted to hang out inside of it.
Easy to assemmble and looks good, not very sturdy
