Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a solid cat tree. It's sturdy, easy to put together, and the design is intuitive and easy for cats to use (you'd be surprised at how many cat trees are poorly designed for cats! This is an upgrade tree for our kitty, and unlike all the ones that came before, he wasn't immediately afraid of this one. I think the trick was letting him sniff and play in the pieces before we put it together. Our cat is 12.5lbs and is almost, but not quite, too big for this tree. I wish the two perches were a bit bigger, however he still lounges on them with a leg hanging off so it turned out okay. His favorite spot is the hut, because he can stretch his front and back legs through the open sides. I laid a towel inside and he's happily sleeping in it as I type this. For medium and small cats this cat tree would be ideal. If your cat is 12+lbs or has long legs, it's a gamble. If your cat jumps onto this tree at high speed, there is a chance it will rock. My boyfriend put his 40lb dumbell on the bottom of the tree, and that solved this problem. I read a review that warned of the dangers of the hangy-ball on the string. The string is not strong, so if you have a cat that will be rough with it, consider leaving that piece off. I purchased this from a third party vendor "gulf coast" on amazon, and it came lightning fast through UPS. As I mentioned earlier it was easy to assemble and we had it up in around 15 minutes. It's not a top of the line cat tree, but if you aren't willing to spend $200+ then this is a great buy from the next tier down. Overall this is a good product in my price range that I would recommend.
