I love this cat tree; it's the second one I've purchased from New Cat Condos because the cover is carpet-quality rather than faux fur.  I've you've ever had five kittens on a faux fur cat tower, you know how easily they can shred and shed pieces of that stuff all over the room.  I foster adoptable kittens as a volunteer, so I've seen my share of cat accessories.  This one is a keeper.
