This cat tree is very cute but needs to be a few inches taller. The 22" height is not the perch but rather the top of the thin poles that hold the balls. The perch also needs to be made sturdier.  My cat loves batting the balls around but I have yet to see him scratch at the scratch pad.  I got this at a discounted price using my Wayfair credits.  Had I paid full price for it I would have been disappointed. Simply not worth full price.

Pros: Cat loves batting the balls
Cons: Smaller than expected and perch is whobbly.
