i was worried about the stability since its so tall but it’s actually really sturdy. my two tabbies weigh about 12lbs each and they both fit in the hammocks at the same time lol. assembly took me like 45 mins? the instructions were okay i guess but the plush is super soft. the removable pads on the top perches are a lifesaver cause one of mine already puked on it. washed right out.
