I needed to replace an old, ugly monster of a cat tree with something newer and that takes up less floor space. This tree is perfect. It has plenty of vertical space for the cats and takes up about half the floor space so it's perfect for small apartments. After assembly, I waited to see if they would touch it. The three of them ignored it for two days. Then by day three, they started their examination. By day four my youngest, who is a year old, found the scoop bed and loves it.  She climbs in for a nap every day. This tree is sturdy and has lots of places for them to hide and ambush each other. 

I should mention that my three are small cats. The biggest is about 10 pounds. The other two are 7 and 8 pounds. While this tree is perfect for them, I'm not sure it would work for larger cats. So if you have a big chonk you may need something bigger. Otherwise, this was a great value and should last a long time.
