This is the perfect cat tree! It is aesthetically pleasing and completely not garish, which can't be said of 90% of cat trees (and certainly not ones as cheap as this one). It's a great size for bigger cats. I have an 11 and 13 lb cat, and I feel like this cat tree could hold a cat that's a good bit bigger if needed. 

My *only* complaint is that my cat destroyed all the toy balls in a day. Other than that, it's incredibly sturdy and I wouldn't change a thing about it!
