The cat tree is the perfect size for the spot that I was planning to place it in.  It not only is a climbing toy for the cats as it serves as their lookout spot for family coming home.  Our only concern is that the climber is a bit lightweight for the larger cats we have and the way they jump on it.  It tips very easily with our cats over 8 pounds.  I love the plush covering and the scoop which I've found the smaller cat using as her lookout.  If you have normal sized cats with regular energy, this is a very nice climber.  Next time, we'll just have to get the industrial strength climber for our cats.
