In comparison to what you would pay in a pet store, the value cannot be beat for this cat tree. It is very reasonably priced for what you get. It was not too difficult to construct - if you're like me and you don't read instructions then it might take a few tries. The hut, the pouch and the bed are all too small if you have a big husky boy for a kitty, but the platforms nonetheless are a good size, and you can fold down the edges of the cat bed at the top of the tree so that it becomes just another round platform. 

It loses a star because neither of my cats use it and because its colors resemble a 70s nightmare. I will probably end up donating it to a shelter because I do think that it is better suited for a litter of playful kittens than a couple of adult snobby cats. 

Take your $85 and buy a staple gun, some Sisal rope, and put together a DIY cat tree with some wood & carpet scraps around the house i.e. old fence post + plywood. Your kitties will thank you!
