Cat trees range in price from low to very very high, and generally you get what you pay for. But the Redwood Cat Tree is a great price and a quality product. It's quite tall and very sturdy. The lining is plush and the perches are padded. My dog even curled up in one when I was putting it together for the cats! There is ample sisal for scratching too. Instructions are easy to follow. This is the third cat tree I've owned and by far the best. I have six cats, and they love it. Highly recommend!
