This is the second Armarkat tree my husband and I bought from Great Offer Stock. Anyone who is looking for a cat tree knows that if you are looking in a pet store they are massively expensive. So we went online shopping to see if we could cut the price down. Armarkat was the answer. Not only is this brand incredibly durable, it's easy to put together, long lasting, and the height is great for the price. The color is a bright (slightly) off white but it's very light. The picture is true to what it looks like. The box the tree comes in is compact (although heavy so if you are lifting it alone take care), and easy instructions to build it yourself. The material is sort of a pilled cotton soft material laid over hard pieces of wood for the cats to climb on. In this particular model, my cats love the two platforms that allow them to enter the "cubby" and then two pads at the top to look out the window. It also comes with a cat toy to hang on a loop at the top of the highest platform. My cats tore that down pretty quickly but it's because they played with the toy so much.
Our first one lasted 4 years and we only replaced it since the cat hair on it was difficult for us to clean off. I do think if you want to clean the landing pads for the cats you would need a vacuum with a hose on it to do so. A great product I would recommend to anyone with pets that need a tree.
