The color is a huge turn-off.  It's BROWN!  they advertise it as neutral... yeah yeah, it has white, cream, brown tufts in it, but darn it, when you put dark colors with lighter ones, the dark takes over.  I am desparete for a LIGHT grey/taupe or ivory cat tree and can't get the color I want for my decor.  The design is ok because the cats can climb up it and get into the top lounging area.  The lounging beds are nice size for adult cats but I can't make this work with a contemporary taupe/grey room! Construction is better than most but please explain to me why it is so friggin hard to choose a color that works.  The manufacturer seems to think this generic carpet will make everybody happy.. WRONG! The picture on line looks much lighter than it really is.
