Update, One year later, this cat tree is going strong. The posts are a bit worn because of the cats scratching every day. We keep it clean by brushing it weekly with a rubber lint brush. I’m expecting my cats will enjoy this for years to come. They love it.
2nd update going on 3 yrs, this cat tree is still holding up. The rope scratching posts are loosening a bit, but our 3 cats continue to love it.
