I was hoping this would be wood or manufactured wood, but it is plastic, I did not even put it together, I wish they had included this in the description, but since nobody else had mentioned it in a review yet I thought I would put it in mine for those who are wanting to know. I have had a lot of cat trees and the only ones worth spending money on are made of solid wood, in my opinion.

The cats LOVE this tower! We have bought multiple towers and they all pale in comparison to this one! The cats have so much to do and the actually use the scratching posts on this one! They will stay on it for hours, I may have to buy a second one for the basement. Money WELL spent!

This cat tower was everything I wanted it to be and more. It is a very solid particle wood/board. Very easy instructions and easy assembly. Perfect size/height for what I wanted. My cat can easily look out the window now. I read one review that said it was plastic and they sent it back. I almost didn't get because of that review. But based on all the other positive reviews, I'm glad I went ahead and got it. It is very heavy duty not likely to tip over. I tried to load photos but couldn't. Looks great tho.

Best cat tree I have found! And the price is unbeatable! It's truly a hit with our kitty's!
