I’ve had this cat tree for 2 years and it has held up so that’s a plus lol. The tree is very well made and was easy to put together. My 18 lb cat sleeps in the hammock every night and if it can hold him for 2 years then that’s pretty good. The  perches however, are too small for him to get comfortable so he has never used them. My two other cats who are only around 10 lbs each, love the perches. The sections with the holes has never gotten used either lol. They all love to scratch their nails on various parts of it. I am happy with it : )
