Our young male kitty loves the tree. It gives him a view of his world from up high, a swinging"bird" to chase & lots of area to scratch so he does not use the furniture! If you are on a budget & need a place for Mr/Ms. Kittty to just hang out that is all his/hers - this is the very best buy we found anywhere - And, we are frugal, quality buyers! We go to Wayfair to compare the competition & always come "home" to our Wayfair rep! Thanks Becca. . .
