Bought this stand to go on our screened porch. We have 4 cats and there are usually at least 2 of them on this. My cats love the sisal and I love that there arent messy carpet shreds everywhere! One note, the wood platforms are smooth and when the cats first tried to jump from the floor to the to platform, they couldnt grip it. They quickly learned to hop up the graduated platforms or to scale the sisal covered posts instead.
