I purchased this after finding out my cat loves cat trees. My son has one that is almost 8 ft. tall and she was always on it. I didn't want one that big.This is not too big and not too small. It fits in my window and the cat is constantly using the top three perches.
She never goes into the house though. She broke the hanging toys on the first day - snapped the elastic right off!
All in all, I am very happy with this cat tree.
