I purchased this tower becuaee I redecorated my dining room and wanted to get rid of an old beige carpeted tower. I was so happy to find a tower that is not plain or plain carpeting only. The color and pattern on the fabric is great. Much more pretty the the standard tower. Also this is a sturdy cat tower. My 3 cats can all hang out or nap on it with no problem. Though hair clings to it, very easy to vacuum clean.  It does not shed fibers which my old carpet one did. So even if I have to vacuum off hair every once and a while, there is no fibers all over.the room from it shedding.  My cats love the tower, and one specifically loves the hanging basket to sleep in. I was surprised that my larger cat and another can sleep on the top tier together but they do and they love to nap on it.
