Beautiful Cat Tree - Beds and Furniture

I'm in college and I usually move to a new place every year. Moving large, bulky items is a real hassle, so I was looking for a collapsible scratching post for my spoiled child. I looked for one with a carpet because that's where she likes to stick her claws, but most carpeted scratching posts come already glued and assembled, let alone weigh a ton. After some research I came across this classic kitty tree and so far it's been great! It was tightly packed in a big square box with all the screws and a small screwdriver (those weird square ones) so you didn't need your own. The assembly was easy, only sometimes a bit awkward due to the arrangement of the tree. The problem I found was that my center perch/platform didn't have a hole so I couldn't screw in the left post. Don't worry, the right one was enough to keep it safe and stable, but now I've got one useless screw lying around. While the Catwood is perfectly stable and doesn't wobble, once it was fully assembled I noticed that it was slightly warped by the two sisal top posts. Again, no big deal, my cat still loves it, it just tickles my OCD a bit (reminder: Leaning Tower of Pisa). Another note, my cat is a relatively small to medium sized adult cat. The perches are a little tight and she doesn't feel comfortable climbing or jumping on them, which is a given as this tree is built more vertically than horizontally so it doesn't take up much space. This scratching post is perfect for a small cat or kitten. My cat can jump onto the middle platform from the ground, but I haven't seen her try to climb onto the top two perches. Overall, this is a decent scratching post. My cat loves carpet. I like that it's easy to set up and take down and doesn't take up much space in my apartment.
