False advertising, plain and simple. This is promoted as being a tree for "large" cats. There's no way my 14lb Siamese or my 10lb (but long and lithe) black short hair boys can squeeze themselves onto these undersized shelves. And let's talk about the "carpet" covering. It isn't carpet at all, but a thin, carpet-looking elastic fabric stretched and stapled over the wood. To top things off (literally) the highest shelf was coming apart as I pulled it out of the box; I could see the thin cheap nails between the wood pieces and had to spend time carefully hammering it back together in order to put it on, and tap down some exposed nails to prevent my cats from getting cut on it - if they even use it. Too bad this isn't Chewy - where I ALMOST ordered one - because if it was they would refund my full purchase price for all this, no questions. I doubt I'll get that same courtesy from Wayfair, but fingers crossed.
