After spending days of searching through mediocre cat condos covered in cheap textiles and structures made from cardboard, I found this and am so glad I spent the extra cash. It's incredibly sturdy, easy to put together and good looking. My cats love it and I can use my own toys and textiles on it to make it more fun. The best part is that I know I won't ha e to replace this, ever. I can always repair or change it up. Well worth it!!!
