This cat tree is minimal, and very pretty. It was easy to put together, and is sturdy for my 13 lb. cat.  
My cat is not really much of a tree cat, she really is more of a ground dweller, but we needed to keep cat food from a dog in a small apartment. It is easy for the cat to climb, and she fits on it fine. If she were stretching out, she wouldn’t fit on the landings, but if curled up, it is perfectly cozy.
The fluffy pads are well secured with Velcro and are washable. 
It anchors to the wall with mollies. We did not anchor in studs and it is quite secure.
Overall, perfect for our small apartment, and it is pretty too!
