I truly enjoyed the look but my mother cat needed more room so I removed the middle ladder and the top rung of the top ladder, not so pleasing to look at but a huge hit with the cat. The fact that the top pole is adjustable in height 93 " to 106" is very convenient and being able to make changes without losing stability is great. My cat and her kittens are always on this playing, sleeping, climbing and scratching all together or solo they love this.
