My cat immediately was drawn to this large cat playground treehouse. No encouragement needed. I started to play in the tree attacking the hanging mouse toys, jumping from branch to branch, and sleeping in the multiple cat condos and beds. It was love at first sight! This Carter looks nice and is a great value for the money. There were a few minor defects in the parts (such as slightly cracked boards), but that is OK. My cat doesn't care about the slight defects and they are hardly noticeable. The assembly instructions and labeling of the parts was not very clear, but I still managed to assemble the cat tree in 3 hours, and I am terrible at assembling anything. I recommend this cat tree to anyone who has the space to accommodate it.
