It didnt really look like the photo I kind of expected it to be larger. In particular, the house area is a LOT smaller than it looks. Doesnt seem very sturdy, the poles are plastic wrapped in cardboard, and the platforms are made of easily bendable material. One of the corners on one of my platforms was actually slightly damaged in what I would assume was the delivery process. It shouldnt be that fragile considering its reason for existing is to be scratched to death by full grown cats. However, for the price Im not complaining. It will probably last a year, which gives me 26 paychecks to set aside savings and make my own cat tree, as sturdy as I believe it should be.
