Our 2 cats LOVE it. It was easy to assemble, is sturdy - we have it against a wall and beside a chair and haven't bothered with the included wall anchor. While they are still quite young kittens, the platforms are large enough to grow with them, and are padded. They sleep on them all the time, and in the house and sling too! I also love the wrapped posts which they sharpen their claws on. A big hit here!
