If you want cat furniture that doesn't look like carpet rolls, this is the cat tree to purchase. After looking and looking for attractive cat furniture I came across this. It's very sculptural and attractive. Assembly was a bit more difficult than expected but it's possible I just had some difficult cam locks. My cats took immediate to it with one quickly leaping to the top while the other seems to like a lower perch. Another nice thing about this tree is that the manufacturer offers replacement carpet pieces for all the perches (they velcro in place).
