My cats love this tree. I have 2 ragdolls and a tortoise. It is sturdy enough for all of them to be romping on. They really don't use the little pouches at all but the multi layers are great. We don't use the 2 very top tiers because they seemed dangerous with our cats, so we just didn't use them. All in all this is a 5 star and we are very happy.  It arrived on time and it  was easy to put together. I highly recommend this product.
