I think the tower is great, my cats do not. My cat had a very bulky cat tree he loved but it took up too much room. He loves to be up high. I bought this to replace the chunky one and now he won’t use it. The times he has, he has knocked it over. The tower doesn’t latch on to anything on the ceiling. The rod does to the ceiling and is spring loaded. It is too wobbly when the cat is going up or down. We mean to add screws and bolt it to the ceiling. That may help.
