"Best purchase ever. She loves it and she is on it everyday."

— Madi

"While my cat does really enjoy the tree, it is a bit unstable and wobbles when he jumps onto it. It also sheds a lot, I find a lot of fuzzies from it. Also, the hammock is a bit small for an adult cat."

Bottom Line

It is a great value for the price, but may not be suitable for larger cats or those who need more stability. The major downsides are wobbliness and that it mostly fits smaller breeds.
