We bought this for our dad, who had just moved into a small apartment with his cat. It was a snap to put together, fit into the back of our SUV, and its neutral colors fit perfectly in his new home. The cat took to it immediately! She loved the little closed chamber, and it was great fun watching her make her way to the top tier and bat at the puffballs. We all agree that the tree will be constant entertainment for our dad AND his cat. She is a small cat, and can go up and down the tree without any instability. This was a perfect purchase for our family, and we are all delighted.
