I am very satisfied with the purchase of this cat tree.  It looks much better than the typical carpet covered cat trees and is much easier to clean. It seems to be holding up better than the carpet cover type also. We don't have to deal with any shredded carpet on this one. I really like the removable carpet and pads. In fact, I purchased a set of replacement pads and carpets to have on hand if the existing need to be cleaned.  I have 4 cats and at first they were not using it very much, but now they all enjoy sitting on their favorite spot. We average two cats using the tree at one time. It has been very stable even when one of the kitties gets a little crazy on it. The wood and finish of the tree are also nice. I would definitely purchase again
