Cats liked the tree however we have tall ceilings and it did almost max out the length.  It was recommended for our height in ceilings, however, it became wobbly when the cats were on it.  It lasted about three weeks and then when one cat ran to the top and the other cat pursed the tree bent and fell.  The cat would no longer use and we salvaged it to replace other cat trees.  Maybe on a lower ceiling it would work.
