I was very disappointed in this cat tree.  I would have returned it had I not already broken down the box for recycling.  I'll use this for my foster kittens (it will be about the right size for little ones to climb) but as far as using it for my own adult cats, the platforms are much too small and the fabric is very thin and flimsy.  Even with little kittens, I'm not holding my breath that this will last very long.
