Abstract
The status of the CMS experiment is described. After a brief review of the detector design and a short overview of the first 5 years of assembly, the focus of this presentation will be the parallel activities of completing and commissioning over the last 2 years and the readiness of CMS for the exciting prospect of first LHC operation.
