This item looks good, is easy to assemble, and the post material is a good scratching material. But the mounting hardware is terrible. The brackets to mount it to the wall come with 2 huge wood screws, so you can mount it to wall studs. But the brackets are spaced only 10.5 inches apart, while wall studs are 16 inches apart. They don't provide drywall anchors or the screws you would need for them. Also, our cat is not even able to make it to the second level. She fell trying. The levels to not stick out far enough from the wall to give our cat space to grab so she can climb. And the levels don't provide enough space for her to launch from to jump to the next level. Even the part of the levels that don't stick out very far from the stick still stick out too far for our cat to simply climb the post all the way up.

I recommend you stay away from this product unless you willing and able to make your own modifications.
