This is a very good sturdy tree and my two cats love it. The only issue I had was the part that joins the hanging basket to the middle platform - it is completely unfit for purpose and broke in my hand as I was attaching it - it's just a bit of rope glued on to plastic ends so not fit for purpose at all. It was easily DIY'd though with just another screw I had in the house which ended up being sturdier than the supplied part. But overall a really good tree for the price.
