I spent a good couple hours checking various sites to find a quality cat tree for a good price. This absolutely fit the bill. Moreover, it's very easy to put together. But most importantly, my cats love it. My petite, 5 year old female loves hiding in the cave. My 8 year old, large male cat loves the feeling of empowerment of being on the top platform, and he even plays with the cotton ball. In fact, when you try to lift him down, he gets mad. He'll come down in his own time. :) Heartily recommend this product. Especially for the price.
