Love the tree and my little kittens love it too - it's wonderfully soft and once the kitties understood how to get up (I have a small other platform to help in the short term) they've been running up and down it constantly. They love playing above the house and under the water bowl hole (minus bowl!) and  just wish it was a wee bit bigger for when they get bigger. But really substantial and great quality. Easy to put together too :)
