This cat tree is lovely, sturdy, and quite large overall. The brown sisal makes excellent scratching posts. My older cats are finding the ladder quite awkward and unusable due to the angle that it is set at and the fact that there is no significant landing under it. The top perches are too small for my larger male cat. I put a fern on one perch bed and it looks like a jungle now:) When the cats come out of the house/cave they look to jump down onto a table or chair instead of using the ladder. It's just too precarious. It needs a bit of a redesign to make the ladder usable. My original plan was to put the cat tree in my young son's room but it smelled strongly of glue for a week.  Overall, it was a good purchase but it's more of a lair for our younger kitty.

Pros: Easy assembly, nice and sturdy, brown sisal looks great.
Cons: Smelled like glue for a week, ladder and house needs to be redesigned with a larger landing. Top bed perches are small.
