this cat tree is exceptional...my pleasant surprise is it has poles wrapped in sisal, not entire unit wrapped in faux fur. this tree was super easy to assemble. it's durable with solid construction, not tipsy/wobbly. I know from experience in building my own cat tree in the past, the material cost and time involved building one from "scratch", that this unit is worth way more than the listed price. my cats and I are giving this a 5 star rating. meow!
