We've had this tower for about a month now-my two cats enjoy it. Like other people mentioned, the mouse lasted about .5 second, but otherwise it's holding up even with regular scratching. They don't usually play on it, just hang out and watch the scenery but even with some chasing, it's looking good. We don't have it wedged in a corner so the top tier is a little wobbly, but they will still sit up there. Tip: scatter catnip on the tiers and in the box (or hide treats) to introduce it-worked like a charm on my kitties.
