My new kitten loves the cat tree as it has several uses.  He loves to scratch the posts, rest on the platforms, hid in the little 'house', and attack the hanging toy.  Great for physical activity for the kitten or cat.  So glad I bought it and that my daughter and her boyfriend assembled it.  It took them about 30 min or so, but with the ongoing laughter, it should have only taken 15-20 min.
