This product is very wobbly and my cat doesn't feel safe going on this cat tree. I tried putting a yoga mat, carpet, and blanket below the tree but it is still very wobbly. Maybe this is because the tree is really tall or because my cat weighs 15 lbs? But the long scratching post which is actually holding the platforms together feels light and flimsy while the platform on each level is ridiculously heavy. The only pro about this would be that my cat can play with the toy on the bottom but other then that, I would physically have to hold the tree still while my cat wants to go on top. Probably going to return.
