This is a great looking piece of cat furniture! My two cats love it and are always using it. This tree looks so much better than those carpet monstrosities. Only giving four stars though because is it a bit shaky when a cat first gets on the top perch. It doesn't bother my two medium sized cats, but I imagine some cats wouldn't like the shaking. It has one brace arm, but I think one more would solve this issue. Overall, it is a great piece and I would recommend it for someone who doesn't mind spending a little extra.
