I live in a small house. I have 2 large dogs, 2 cats, and tons of random junk. This cat tree fits perfectly in the only available corner of the living room with out taking up much space. The cats love it. They play with the toys, starch the post (and not my couch anymore), and they lounge on it.  Its sturdy, easy to assembly, nice color. The only slight concern I had, was the 3 rd landing is difficult for them to get to and jumping off the 3rd landing was a tad ify. However the love seat next to the cat tree makes it easy and safely accessible.
