We bought this for our cats to have a place to escape from our over-eager puppy - he can't reach them and they love using it, laying on the top platform, surveying their "kingdom" :-) Easy to assemble, fits perfect in corner - perfect height and everyone who sees it loves it :-) Did I really want a huge "throne" for the kitties in my living-room? NO - but, it's 100% perfect for what we got it for - puppy protection for the kitties!
