The quality is not as good as the Armarkat tree this was to replace.  First off the support columns are noticeably smaller in diameter. After assembly the tier structure does not give cat a choice but to try and step on to a pouch or jump from the 3rd level to the ground.  The one I am replacing gave them a chance to come down levels.  My initial reaction when opening was to return and instead took the 20% off and after assembling I am regretting not following my initial reaction.  Both of my cats are older and do not need the extra height to jump.  I will take back apart at this point and box it back up and stuff it in a corner and try to sell. You are not offered a return after you accept the discount.   I would suggest spending the extra money on the better brands.  I will end up buying the same tree I had, only reason I am replacing is after 10 years the carpeting on it will just not come clean anymore.
