I bought this to be available for cats to look out the front door window to see what is happening out there as they bicker over the side window and other cat tree there. At first no one used it for two whole days! Then my oldest braved jumping onto it and she took a nap and decided this was her special spot. We are very happy with the cat tower. Two of my younger cats enjoy climbing into the holes available and batting each other and the best part is, that doesn't bother Annabelle as she's safe on the top away from them. 

It's sturdy, soft and the cats seem to enjoy it so it's a winner!
