This is my first cat tree and what a bar to set for the first purchase. It arrived quickly, was easy to unpackage (although the box is a bit heavy, you may need help to bring it inside) and each piece was wrapped securely to keep in good shape. The directions were easy to follow, and assembly was easy. It is very sturdy, and it comes with a wall anchor which I chose to use given the tree is so tall and the cats like to jump up and down. Cat tree isn’t really the right description, we have begun calling it the cat castle because there are so many platforms and hideaways, scratchers, and toys. I have two cats, one is average size, and one is fairly big, and they can both fit comfortably in the walkways, platforms and ‘scoop’ style bed areas. They have both taken to it right away and I can always find them lounging on it. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to any cat owner.
