We were pleasantly surprised when we received our cat tree. The product was solid, well constructed and very nicely finished. We had it assembled in about 45 minutes and it was rock solid. The cats began to climb on it while we were putting it together and have played and slept on it ever since. We have one grown cat and one kitten and both of them love it and have no problem getting around on it. We will buy all our cat furniture from this site from now on.
