I like the design but it is not sturdy, meaning the poles are skinny and not thick like other cat towers. When my biggest cat jumps on the perch the pole shakes and the carpet is not thick. The design is a little off. Not all cats can go or want to go up through the hole to get to the perch. Mine are inclined to jump to the platform. It's just not going to last long. Glad I didn't pay full price as it is not worth $200.
