We bought this tree years ago - maybe 15 years ago. While the cats have pulled some of the ropes off while scratching on them, the tree itself is still standing strong. So spend the money and get a really great cat tree.

This is a very sturdy tree. I did have a hard time putting it together though, but not because of directions. Two of my cats kept climbing on it as I was putting together. 😁 They claimed their sleeping spots before I could tighten. 😄.
Thank you Jackson for such a quality product

I should have bought a second Armarkat tree a few years ago, but now that I have one, there's no more conflict about who gets to be Le Gran Fromage on the top level. Two trees, no waiting!

Grreat cat tree. I have it. I paid $80!

My 12 year old tabby climbs to the top and snoozes. My 19 year old black cat would have loved it when she was younger; she climbed on fences, onto roofs, but she’s getting frail. My 14 year old calico has been eyeing it — maybe she’ll try it during the winter. It’s beautiful and sturdy, something I haven’t seen anywhere else. Glad I bought it.
