DO NOT BUY THIS TREE. It has been assembled for an hour and two of my cats have already taken major falls off of it, one has an injured leg. They are extremely agile cats, but the design of this tree is so poor, there is no place for them to easily and SAFELY jump down from any of the perches. The ladders prevent them from using any of the wide areas, but are completely required for stability of the tree. The square platform off to the side is the only place to jump down on from the top tier, and it is a long way down and about 7" too short to safely jump. I'm not even going to bed before this is disassembled because I can't leave them unattended with it. The pictures make it look a lot wider than it is, this tree is straight up and down. Very poor design.
