The product was surely simple to assemble, and may well be great for other cats, but my cats really didn't go for it.  My Misty Maple and Jack are 1 and 2 years old respectively, and certainly dig a bunch of their other toys, but they would not play with this product even when doused in catnip. Perhaps, it is not age appropriate for my beasties? Regretfully, I cannot recommend this "Cat Tree".
