My cats LOVE this item. We have had it for four or five months now and I waited to review it to see how well it stood the test of time and my three boys jumping all over it. They jump back and fourth from the large perch to this one and enjoy cuddling up on this smaller sized perch. It is  their favorite to sleep on because it is "U" shaped which helps them feel enclosed and protected. It was easy to install with my boyfriends help using a stud finder and has held up very well.  I am going to purchase a second one for my office wall!
