Flimsy indeed. Mine kept breaking apart as I tried to assemble it. Much cursing
and swearing was required. Finally when I had just got the thing finished, I
sat back exhausted and then my cat walked past, put her paw onto the side of
it, and it fell over sidewise and collapsed into many chunks. I finally rebuilt
it today (more cursing and swearing). The cat is lurking nearby though, so I
don't know how long it will survive this time.
I don't think the rebels will need to fear the Natasha! One nudge and it's
history.
