It's a great sized tree. However, my cat weighs 16lbs and as mentioned in other reviews, it really isn't very sturdy. He really hasn't spent any time in either of the two top perches because the poles are not secure enough. My husband stabilized it some by putting an L-bracket from the cat tree to the wall which helped some. He is planning to stabilize the poles that hold the perches so our cat feels more comfortable with jumping onto them.
