This cat tree is awesome! Reasonable price, not too hard to assemble ( I did it basically alone aside from someone handing me the pieces when I asked, mostly there for the company ), it is HUGE, and my cats love it. The only downfall is the material covering it. The cats can't really get great grip on it, and can only scratch the poles not anywhere else. The material is very soft and slippery, I would like for it to be more like rug material and in that case I think the cats would be able to use it easier. It is kind of awkwardly built because once they get about half way up, it is hard to get all the way to the top. Some parts are a little small, the bottom cubby is too small for my bigger cat who is 15 lbs, and when he gets up on the very top it is a little wobbly for him, but he still enjoys it up there. My smaller cat can fit in thsthinjhhe bottom cubby but doesn't like it because it is still small for her and she is 9 lbs. Also, the little hammock or whatever is too small for them too. But for the price, not being able to use those few things is not a huge deal. They love climbing to the top and I have a smaller tree next to it made of another material to aid them in getting to the top since they have a hard time gripping the material of this one when they try to jump up and make their way to the top. I definitely would recommend this and would definitely purchase it again.
