Glad I made this purchase. Decent price, decent looking and right dimensions. I was slightly concerned about the smoothness of the soft, thin covering of the cat tree. Yeah I do see him struggle a little sometimes to get onto the upper platform but he always gets up. He looks like a little mountain climber. At first I was worried because he didn't take to it. The first day went by, the second day went by, sigh. I did put treats up on various places but he wouldn't go up himself and get them, so I placed him on the tree by them. On the 3rd or 4th day there he was on his top perch looking out the window. He does go on it a lot and scratches the posts and even loves to play from it, when I play with him. So SockA loves it and this five stars is from him. Also his enjoying it gives my little stone heart some kind of happiness and satisfaction so a little blip of the five stars is from me.
