When my husband and I went looking for a cat play tree we knew it had to be big and sturdy because we have 4 cats who are all on the "well fed" side of life and a little kitten who is very playful. This is perfect!! The best points are it is made of REAL wood not particle board, and it has bolts that actually keep it together. The instructions could not have been more simple and was completely put together in 30 min!! All 5 of our cats love playing on it and I think it is one of the best buys and the price just makes it all the better.
