Just 2 months ago we adopted a 3 yr old female cat from a shelter. She loves to climb and I thought this would make her feel right at home. She can climb right ot the top and look down at everyone.  She can see the whole back yard watching birds for hours. 
As for the product, I thought it  needed a little more direction than just pictures .
Once together it looks great in my sitting room.  It is study and a great value compared to other cat trees I have seen.
