Smaller than I anticipated. My large cat (17lbs) was too large for it. I ended up giving it to my mom who has a much smaller cat (6lbs). The smaller cat loves this tree. I would say if you have a cat on the smaller side or kittens this is great. If your cat is a behemoth like mine, you may want to get something else. Main complaint is the item took forever to get here. Wayfair though is fantastic and helped the whole way through.
