I should have read the previous reviews about cats not being able to move from one level to another.  I have two cats and only the small, young one can use this cat tree.  The levels are so close together that cats have to literally climb the pole, than hang from the edge and climb some more to get to each level.  (Or try to jump directly from the floor) Jumping from one level to another is impossible.  When exiting any of the perches, not an easy move from upper levels to lower.  My cat just jumps to a piece of "people" furniture nearby to get down.  Not what I intended.   Construction is decent, carpet is plush, very stable.  Wish it were more cat friendly.
