Much nicer than I thought it would be - cat trees can be so ugly and tacky. This one is high quality, sturdy AND you can remove the top bed to throw in the wash! It has elastic around the bottom so it's really easy to remove. I just got a second cat and wanted 1 tree for both. I think over time they will get along and will be able to share it. The box fits my larger male cat (~16 lbs) - and of course he fits nicely on the top bed. My female (~12lbs) might even be able to fit up there with him. I am not sure if they'll ever use the hammock portion, but they're already playing with the rope.
