I really dig this. It feels very sturdy (though, pro-tip: it's not quite clear in the instructions, but you need to put this thing together from the top down). This is the only solid black cat tree I've found, and it just looks more modern and less obtrusive than most. My two love to sleep on the top level and in the kettle-type thing off the side. And they play for hours on the levels with the holes. My tomcat finds this the perfect apparatus for attacking his tail. They were on it the instant it was put together, AND they haven't clawed my new couch. Happy happy.
