Although my cat hasn't really taken to this perch, despite it being placed in front of a window and sprayed with catnip, it does seem to be a quality product for the price.  This is my first perch or cat furniture of any kind ever, so all I can say is the construction seems fine and not too terribly wobbly for my 11-12 lb. cat when he gets really playful scrambling around on it.  I do wish it had an attached toy for him to play with as some of the others I've seen do.  It would be relatively easy to add one though, so don't let that be a deal breaker if you are looking for a reasonably priced cat perch.
