I am very disappointed in the quality of this cat tree, especially the cheap carpet. I have bought dozens of cat trees over the years and have never seen one with such thin, ugly carpet. The color is a blah brown but worse than that, the backing of the carpet shows through, plastic threads are hanging off everywhere & the thinness of the carpet gives the cats no cushion to sleep on in the perches. My cats would destroy this in no time. I gave the manufacturer two stars for the design & the width of the perches. I would gladly pay more for this tree if it was available with a better quality carpet & with the option of a color choice. I am returning it.
