The trunk is a real pear wood branch, so no two of these towers have the same grain or the same set of forks - the tree looks like a piece of sculpture rather than pet equipment. Four levels rise to 35.5 in with a 16-in top perch and a 12-in platform below, each rated to 22 lbs. Long white plush covers the resting surfaces and natural jute wraps the scratching sections. The base measures 19.5 in across and the whole piece weighs 23 lbs. One cat tree and an instruction sheet ship together.
