This Cat Tree is absolutely beautiful and top quality, it is very sturdy and very tall, the carpet is very soft, just wish it was a little thicker, hopefully it will last. The only thing is the house & teepee are a little small for bigger cats, I lifted my cat up onto it to get him adjusted to it and to let him know it's his. When I put him in the house his head stuck out the one door and his back end stuck out the other door but he can still use it, the teepee is even smaller, he would have to bend down to get in it, it is almost too tight a squeeze for him. I tried to put him in it, but he got scared and jumped down before I could really tell if he could squeeze into it. The basket seems okay, I put him in there but he jumped down once again before I could really tell, and the perch seems big enough too, I didn't put him on that yet, I haven't tried the hammock yet either, but I think he could squeeze into that one too. All in all, I think once he is used to it, he will love it, because he loves to climb and jump onto things. I bought this so that hopefully he would stop jumping on my tables and places he shouldn't be, because he keeps breaking all my valuables when he jumps on them. My cat always takes time with new things before using them, if for some reason he doesn't use it, then I guess I will have to adopt a new Kitty so it won't go to waste. Just an excuse to get another pet. I love animals, my cat is a Siamese and is 6 yrs. old but very active, loves to play, he is 12 1/2 inches high and 11 inches long, big kitty. I also have a little Chihuahua that is 7 yrs. old and loves to run and play, he fits better in the houses than my cat unfortunately. I bet I will find him climbing on it. I had only one problem putting this together, in that the boards were marked incorrectly, and the picture directions were hard to read, so I ended up putting the taller poles on the wrong end of the base and wondered why the holes weren't lining up correctly with the next board that went on top of it. I thought the boards were drilled incorrectly [...] Then I had my Father look at them and we then realized they were incorrectly marked and that the poles were on the wrong end of the board, [...] Once we realized what was wrong, we got it put together in no time, very easy to do and we really didn't need the picture directions after that.I would definately recommend this cat tree and this company to everyone I know that has pets. I am very satisfied. I just wish that the houses and things were made a little bigger so bigger kitties can get more use out of it and enjoy it more. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, was because of the size of the houses and things not being big enough for bigger cats to really be comfortable in, otherwise terrific. [...]"..."
