I was SO excited for my cats when I ordered and received this,but when I went to set it up for them there was TWO left sides and not a right.Where you hook it on the sides on the front and attach the poles.I am very disappointed in HARTZ!I am pretty sure Amazon claimed this was new NOT used.Perhaps the Hartz company messed it up when packing it for sale.Well I’m not wasting anymore money to send this back to Amazon.Well it’s all set up (sort of) lol.Well if my cats are happy with it,I’m happy with it….I guess.

I would rather give this 2 1/2 stars. When I bought this, it cost more than what Amazon is selling it for, so I have no idea if there are other sizes, or if there is some shipping math involved or what, but here is my experience: The size it seems to be is NOT the size it is. My larger cats tried terribly hard to sit in it, but only resulted in falling over and capsizing the light plastic bits attached to the bag, which, in turn, scared them every time. Also, it was no time at all before they managed to pull the feathers, balls and strings off the plastic arms, and what makes *that* more dangerous than disappointing is, they will eat those elastic strings in the heat of play and could easily die if the strings get caught up in their intestines. The bag also doesn’t fit on the spokes well, so you end up stretching the plastic in a way that creates an imbalance. However, my cats couldn’t wait to play with it while I was putting it together, and loved the crinkling bag. They enjoyed sitting in it after removal of the hard plastic portion. I would say the manufacturing makes it a very bad choice for larger and/or hard playing adult cats, but for kittens, I would recommend this product.
