This condo is fantastic. It's huge and very sturdy. Some of the condos I have purchased in the past have had flimsy platforms and perches, but this one has been designed in such a way that everything seems very sturdy. I did take off the stairs, as they looked neat, but my cats would hit there heads on the platform above when went up the stairs too quick. Other than that small design flaw, this condo is very nice and worth the money.
