Is this tower stable with a large cat jumping on it?

The pine and birch frame is sturdier than most particleboard towers, but a 69-inch tower still needs to sit level and, ideally, against a wall. Anchor it if you have a heavy cat that launches onto the top perch.

Does it come with a scratching post or pad?

The tower includes a scratching surface as part of its design. Check the listing photos for where it sits on the frame, since cats often prefer sisal over bare wood.

How much floor space does it take up?

It is a vertical design, so the base footprint is modest for its height. Measure the base dimensions before buying and leave clearance for a cat to land when it jumps down.

Is it good for two cats?

Yes. Five tiers give each cat a separate perch and a route to climb away from the other. Cats that want to hide rather than perch may still prefer a tower with a covered cubby.

How hard is assembly?

Expect to spend time on it. A tall five-tier wooden tower has more parts and fasteners than a small carpeted post, so set aside an evening and use a second person to hold pieces while you align them.

Does the wood hold up to scratching?

Pine and birch are softer than hardwood, so claws will mark them over time. That is normal wear; the frame will not shred and shed fibers the way carpet-covered towers do.
