We finally decided to order two cat trees online because we were tired of looking at the expensive junk at local pet stores.  Unfortunately, we are in Canada, so after shipping and customs/duties the trees were still expensive.  However, the product is 10 times better than what we would have got if we had purchased locally.  This tree is awesome.  Only thing to note, is that I think it should be re-worked so that the cubby cube is higher up on the tree (cats like to be higher, so they never use the cubby section on this particular tree).  Overall great product, and had we not had to ship to Canada, it would have been a steal of a deal.
