yeah, this is a pretty great cat tree. It has a strong base, and all the sisal scratchers make this a great climbing tree. My cat is 2 yo, and she loves to play and she loves to look out the window so I put this by a window. Each perch is strong--even the little soft sleeper.  It is little. My cat weighs 10 lbs and she barely fits but you know cats--she makes it happen! I do recommend using the included hardware to attach to a stud in your wall. The ceiling spring-loaded pole is wobbly and I didn't want it to fall over when kitty was climbing. Also, the directions about attaching the tree to a stud are lacking. In fact, I couldn't figure out the bolt system, so I just used a large screw.
