i thought this would be a great kitty condo tree but it is useless and definately not as spacious as it looks in the picture. the bottom spindles are short compared to picture so unless you have a mini cat a grown cat cannot use it as a tool to sharpen their claws.the spindles are not tall enogh for a grown cat to stretch and sharpen which my kitty like to do. The other disapointing feature is the lack of lounge space there id not enough room on the sides for kitty to sit anywhere, except for small cat.... and climbing on the shelve with the house. there is no way to to get on the small top perch for the cat unless they jump to the top, which would be good if the cat is big enough too but if it is then the top perch would be too small. i wish i could return it i certainly would but i didnt notice the once assembled no return policy so i guess it will hit craigslist as i cannot use it for my cat.
