Pickles is 8 months old and loves his new condo.  Well built, sturdy, and a great place to escape from his three doggie housemates.  He hides in the top cubby and stalks the canines below.  Rope poles are a great scratching deterrent from furniture.  Only complaint is that one of the strings for the toys came off the ledge - but I just used a staple gun to reattach.
