This is such a space-saving, fun, cat tree. I am super picky about my furniture and find all cats trees to be ugly, but I wanted my pets to have one. Im so happy I made this choice. The one downside, which was probably my fault on not paying attention, was that it needs to be anchored into the wall. I didnt realize that before purchase. The tension rod that holds it between the floor and ceiling is definitely not strong enough if you have big, active cats.
