My cat is fat so he can only climb so far up but he still loves it. He likes the box the most. I didn't know exactly what I was expecting on the faux fleece but it feels super soft. The golden rod color is more yellow than in the picture but still looks great. The rope around the columns are great for my cat to scratch at. Lots of pieces but easy to put together. The ladder to me is useless for an adult cat but it does look cool on the overall set-up. Maybe a kitten can use the ladder better than an adult cat. Overall it is not bad for the price. Just to have real carpet you would pay 3x the amount for a smaller cat perch.
