Not worth the money.
I just got this today, and we're returning it. We bought one about 10 years ago, for about $20, which we still have, and the cats love it, so we were going to get another for a different room. One of the reasons we still have it is because it's so well made. It's a solid piece of wood with foam and faux fur covering. We've since replaced the faux fur, but that's only because of 10 years of sun wear.
This, however, is not wood, but plastic, and not a solid platform of plastic at that. It's that kind of plastic that is sort of like a grate, then it has some foam with egg carton dimples, and the faux fur covering. It looks very cheap, compared to what I have.
For one thing, if you want to put it on with the velcro, it's odd because there's only one small strip on the bottom of it where you can put the velcro, and that space is so close to the edge that you wouldn't be able to fully put the elastic faux fur on it as it's suppose to fit properly. With the wood (or a solid surface) you can adjust where the velcro should go according to your window, and according to how the fur fits. There is an option to screw it in, but that's not an option for us.
It looks nice in the picture, but it's so much cheaper than I expected for what I paid. As crazy as my younger cat gets jumping up and down on it, I wouldn't trust this for that. I think we may just buy the materials and build one ourselves. Disappointed though, I was looking forward to giving this to my kitties tonight.
