We have an elderly cat who can no longer jump onto beds or furniture where he loves to spend time with us. We purchased one for the bed and liked it so much we purchased two more for another bedroom and for a sunroom window. Totally satisfied with the quality and ease of assembly. Also very pleased with customer service, one of the trees got lost in transit and they were quick to respond and ship out another. Would definitely recommend this item for anyone looking to help out an elderly pet.
