This cat tree is in our living room and looks great.  It's sturdy and very well made, even when both our cats are playing on it.  They both love it, they play "King of the Mountain" on the highest perch and the looser settles for the second highest perch.  They even play in the little house that is the 3rd section down.  The price for it is very reasonable, looked at small cat trees that were more in price than this nice tall tree.  Very well pleased with this cat tree purchase!
