Couldn't be happier!! My baby was climbing this thing before it was even halfway assembled!! She loves it, loves it, loves it!! The ladder is unnecessary and I removed it after the first day to give kitty more play room. Her favorite spot is the top perch which we call the kitty "penthouse". This is an awesome product at a great price!! This will be enjoyed and happily shredded for years to come!! Alls we can say is THANK YOU!!!
