This tree is the best that I have seen on the market with the best price for the product. My 10#,9 month old kitten loves it!!!!. But it is so wobbly that I have shortened it by two pieces. I tighten it every few days but he loves it so much that I don't mind the hassle. I wish I could assemble it to its full height. In spite of these flaws most cats would love it.
