This is a QUALITY piece of "cat" furniture!  It is much heavier than the typical cat tower that we have purchased in the past (those were constructed of wood by-products and were light-weight and prone to turn-overs when excited cats would run and jump on them).  By contrast, this cat condo has a solid wood base and the construction is such that you would have to have an actual tiger jump on it in order to have it turn over due to normal play by your energetic feline.  My cat was quite curious about the places where he could climb and just "hang out".  The price was reasonable, my cat is happy, and therefore life is good now at our house!
