Is this a sturdy tree? my cat loves to run fast and climb things and I am afraid he may knock it over by climbing it too fast

Yes; I have four large cats and they all climb it without any problems. I was worried about the top two tiers, but they are fine. Just make sure you screw everything done tightly.

This tree is not sturdy at all. Any cat over 10 pounds could knock it over. I was forced to place this tree in an area where in can not fall.

I can't answer from experience, as my cat is more sedate than rowdy. But when I myself push at the tree, it is hard to push over. The bottom is so wide in comparison with the top, that being pushed over seems unlikely to me. This is not a flimsy cat tree, it is sturdy. I say: give it a go!

No danger of a cat knocking it over, it has a slight a wobble to it, but it is very sturdy. My fat cat climbs all over it, and there has never been a time when it looked even slightly like it might tip over. The base is very heavy and big enough to support the weight of the tree and an active cat.

.We bought this tree over two years ago, never had a problem. The toy was attached to the top perch, but our cat is more interested in snoozing up there. At the moment, she is up there looking out our windows.

It is quite sturdy. As stated in my review a couple of my cats will run and jump on it and jump off. I have several cats and have only seen it knocked over once. That was due to rough playing. Normal scratching should not be an issue. It is on the heavy side as well.

It is not sturdy enough to have cats climbing on it. I have a cat too, but I keep him out of that room for that exact reason.

My cats are around 9 and 10 lbs but it's definitely sturdy just make sure that when you assemble it you do so in upside down. It's a great tree and serves as great scratch posts.

Gayle, my 13+ pound Norwegian Forest cat loves the top shelf! She fills the shelf, and yes it is sturdy enough! I keep the tree bungalow such that one side is always against the wall; it is not in the middle of the room. Besides, this tree bungalow is so heavy that once it is put together, it stays put! I hope this helps! Your cat will really like this tree bungalow, especially the built-in scratching posts and the feather toy accessories! The height is a very good height for cats; they can get a good view of the room from their vantage point at the top.

I have a full grown active Calico. She runs at the tower leaping to the top shelf, it wiggles a little when she does this but I have never had a problem with it leaving the floor in any way. My cat is not fat but is long & muscular. I would buy this item again or recommend this climbing tower to my friends.

This is very nice tree house for smaller cats.Our cat is 7 pounds kitten and he shakes the tree when he goes up and down.I would probably buy a bigger base unit for more stability if I have a bigger cat. Yes,bases are the same size.

Costco sells a very sturdy tree and Petco carries well made ones. Do not buy the one I reviewed, it would not hold up to a large cat. I have two adult cats that use the one from Petco and it has lasted for 10 yrs. without any damage.

I have two cats - total weight 16 pounds. It is fortunate that the cat tree is against a wall as they tend to push off it when they get rambunctious. It would surely topple over if not for that. I have had to retighten the screws as they have come loose so keep that key handy. Otherwise plenty sturdy for holding weight (I just sat on it to be sure!). Just wish it had a broader base for when they jump off.

I think you would be much happier getting a different one. I reviewed this cat tree. My sons cat was pretty small and she has trouble navigating it. The covering is kind of slick and our cat had trouble climbing it. I think my sons cat was 5 or 6 pounds. I wouldn't buy again.

Yes, it is sturdy enough that a cat would not tip it over, unless it's a really huge cat dropping onto it from above. If you're just talking about a cat hopping onto it from the desktop, no problem.

This tree is huge and very sturdy! I think your cats would do great with this one!

I have several cats who are pretty big cats - one that weighs 25 pounds. It is a VERY STURDY cat tree. I have had all three spaces occupied at the same time with no problem - even with the 25 pound cat.

I have two male cats that are a little bit bigger than that and they really enjoy this "Cat Tree." It's one of the best investments I've ever made for them! I don't know who has the most fun with it, me watching them or their playing on it! I've read some of the other remarks and yes it is wobbly but not enough to fall over.

Definitely NOT. This cat tree can with stand ALOT! my cat is maincoon & turkish. He's a HUGE ball of furr! & he weighs about 15-17lbs. & he absolutely loves his house. Although my cat is much heavier than yours and that's probably why the posts fell off & I've had it for about 2 years now & they just broke off when I moved a bunch. I would recommend this cat house to anyone! My sister also has one and she had three cats with hers and they were heavy cats too. It is a big tree though just warning. Just real tall & it will NOT tip!! Hope it helps ;)

My kitty jumps onto it without a problem, but it's not a huge distance. I'm constantly surprised by how sturdy it is, and she loves it. Not sure what you mean by climb...
