This is the first cat stand I've purchased for my two cats. One if my cats is very small at only 6lbs while the other one is quite large at 14lbs so finding one that solid suit both their sizes was my goal. While they both were scared of it for the first week I had it setup, they both now lay on it and hide in it daily. My only complaint is the carpet covering the pieces is very soft which my cats don't seem to like as much as the rougher texture if the carpet on our floor so they still scratch the floor instead of the house. But for the price, I can't complain.
