It's difficult to tell from this picture but the material on top is stark, blinding white. I just had my walls painted whitest white & they look dingy next to the cat tree. It's also much higher than I realized (my fault for not measuring) and neither of my cats will be able to use the top. I would've returned it but Wayfair wanted to charge $27 so guess I'm stuck with it. I might check into having the top recovered. It's really well made and large, definitely big enough for cats over 15lbs.
