What a wonderful product. My cat never thinks about scratching the furniture anymore, with all the much-better scratching surfaces that this cat tree provides. She climbs the posts as if they were tree trunks outside. She plays with the dangle mouse, sleeps on the top perch, and hangs out on the next-lower perch. The only thing I didn't like is that it's not covered with carpet, as the description said. The covering is really a thick, textured fake fur, not carpet...but still quite nice. And the khaki and rust colors go great with my decor.
