Highlighted Reviews
"I have never found a cat tree that my moose fits in until now! Even stretched out he still has room in the top bed. "
"The height of the bed on the upper level makes it difficult for the cats to climb down. They do it, but they don’t feel comfortable. They refuse to use it for more than a scratching post. They miss the old one. I’m sorry I bought this."
Bottom Line
If you have a large cat and are looking for a sturdy tree, this is a good option. However, be prepared for some potential durability issues and consider reinforcing the base and the top cushion.
