I only purchased this item in January, it is now very wobbly and bits are coming apart, my last cat tree purchased elsewhere for less money lasted 3 years, this one barely 6 months. Top bed was lumpy to begin with, and is very shaky and leans to one side, Rope is unravelling, despite our attempt to repair it, fabric is coming off the uprights revealing that is merely cardboard beneath, and just look at that nail sticking out! I didn't expect it to last for years and years but 6 months isn't really on is it? It should really be replaced or refunded.
