Our cat LOVES this cat tree. I spent forever looking for a well made, affordable, and attractive cat tree. I was really hesitant buying this cat tree because I didn't want a carpet monster in our small apartment. It's not the most contemporary tree out there but our kitty Raven doesn't care. We set it up next to our window and it soon became her favorite spot. The tree makes play time more enjoyable, with Raven showing off her spider man moves. Best of all, now her zoomie energy is directed at the tree instead of our favorite furniture.
