Cat loves this tree! Looked for a long time to try to find a tree that was sturdy and could handle my 18 lb tabby. Easy to put together, very stable. My cat loved it right away. He is on it multiple times a day, including the top section. He's a little big for the hammock and the top section but he still hangs out on both regularly. Remains to be seen how long the rope and coverings will last but me and cat are very pleased. Very good purchase.
