This post is great, is tall enough, is perfect, is sturdy. Post is sturdy, is very sturdy, is tall, is tall enough. 1% of users noticed that: Couch is spared, was scratching, has become a little threadbare, doesnt tear up. Carpet is shredded, don't have any damage a year and a half later, don't compare, has mostly worked. Top is slippery, is small, is too slippery, was becoming frayed. Box was banged up, were not included, was missing, was a bit ridiculous.
