My goal was to find a sturdy, multi-level cat tree where the top level is supported at two points. There aren't many, so options are limited. This one is sturdy. I have had some large cats and have had to place supports for the top level. This cat tree will not need that. I like the idea that much of it is put together with cam locks. It has a more modern look, and while it is large with multiple levels, it is not overly big, and it does not have a huge footprint. My only concern is the gray material that wraps the first and second level. I seems thin, and I wonder what cat claws will do to the material after some use.
