We have owned several Cat Trees and Condo's over the years and by far this is the most plush and well made to date. Easy to assemble and looks better than pics of product shows. PLEASE NOTE: Past experience with trees and condos is to be sure ALL bolts are tight!! This will prevent any cracking and or breakage to the pillars. I have had them last for years and never had 1 damaged or break. If I could give this one 10 stars it would be done so. Well worth the coin invested and the kids LOVE IT!!!!!
