Its a beautiful cat tree. I decided to go with this as opposed to the typical trees with carpet because my Ragdoll sheds like crazy! This actually looks like it is part of my living room furniture and it is pretty easy to clean. I put it together myself and it took me about 2 and a half hours. It is a little wobbly but I dont think it will tip over. My cat weighs over 13 lbs and gets up to the top pretty easily. He was a little nervous about it at first because its new and is so high. I had to move it closer to a chair so he could have something to jump to and from when he gets on it. But now he can stare out of the window and he loves it! The only thing minor thing I didnt like were the little wood pieces that are supposed to cover the screw holes. They dont stay in. Im going to have to use gorilla glue to keep them in.
