The plus is that the board material in the cat tree appears to be sturdy and makes the tree stable. The company could rethink some of the features. For example, the location of the rope loop on the second form the top shelf prevents my cat from lying on that shelf to sleep or rest . Therefore I removed it. Also the tent is too small for my 11 lb. cat, and he didn't like it. I removed that also. In addition, the hammock is flimsy and unstable. My cat would not step inside the hammock because it was too shaky. Instead of removing that too I filled it with a soft blanket and tied each corner with a piece of rope to secure it steadiness. I am keeping the tree because with these changes my cat seems happy. However, I would have preferred to have had a lower price since several of the items I paid for are not being used, and I had to shore up the hammock.

Very nice cat tree, but had to remove the teepee type house, a bit too small for my Persians to fit in, But they use the perches to look out and watch the birds at the feeders.

This cat tree is large, sturdy, and was easy to assemble. It is very high quality and the carpeting on it is strong, yet very soft. Everything lined up perfectly when we were assembling it. Our cats are on it all the time. It is so strong that my four year old son sits on the bottom platform to play with the cats.
