I was a bit disappointed in this cat perch. The carpet is thin, I can see the staples thru the carpeting. This was a replacement for the same type of stand but the old one has been shredded by my cats and is shedding carpet. We have 2 other cat stands from New Cat Condos and they both had very thick carpeting. I don't know if this one will last even 1 year.  I am considering keeping the old one and replacing some of the carpet and rope myself.

Pros: comes assembled, Made in USA, cats like it
Cons: Carpet is thin
