This is worth the price. It is of high quality and looks really nice in the home. The cats love to sleep in it. It provides them a place to be up and watch what's going on in the room from a safe (and cozy) vantage point. They all love scratching on the post as well as the bottom piece. My fat cat tried to join another in it, which is cute. This is a great product and I wish I could afford to have one in every room.
