This tree is awesome. It's great for cats who like to hide and get up high. Ziggy loves it. I hang her colorful string around her tree house and she's addicted to it. I love the tree-like qualities of the tree because it makes it a gorgeous piece of furniture, especially given the price. It's a great deal for what it is. Worth every penny. I just wish the ladder was easier to climb. It needs a bit more space in the front for the ladder to be fully functional. Still the best cat tree I've ever seen anyone have. Everybody says it's a really awesome cat tree and I agree. I spoil my baby but it's so worth it. If you're at work all the time and you have 1-3 cats, this tree is the perfect escape for your feline friends. So, I definitely recommend this product.
