I have an older one that is demolished! Does this one have a fairly heavy piece of wood as does the original that the rope is wrapped around?

I bought this one in March of 2013 and with two cats it has held up very well. There is a plank of wood inside, but instead of wrapped in carpet, the material is a solid piece, so it has not been shredded (yet). I took the little toy with the feathers off, they snap in and out. My cats eat everything including feathers. You could also just cut the feathers off. I will get another bar if they ever wear this one out.

If you're asking if this is a plank of wood (as opposed to plastic or cardboard) wrapped with the rope, yes.

I believe that it is a form of hard wood and holds up well.i have owned it for over 2 years my daughter is 9 and still sits with her friends...

we had a similar rope ladder that lasted 13 yrs or so. this wood actually looks sturdier. but i am going to treat it with some all weather lacquer of some sort just to be compulsive about it. my daughter is in medical school now, so it lasted long enough to get her out of the house.

I think it is pine. It is sturdy, though. I have owned ones like it for years and have never had a problem.

I don't know the material it is constructed of, but It is STRONG and is wearing well. It is not regular plastic or hemp rope. It is not hairy or hard on the hands or legs where it is wrapped around the frame or as the "net" in the center. The openings in the net part are quite large, so make sure little kids are well supervised on it, because their legs can slip thru. It is a GREAT swing for both big and little kids - I like to swing on it myself. Get a heavy duty swivel from an outdoor supply not the hardware store - the swing can support more weight than the standard stuff allows - same for rope to attach it to the tree or swing stand.

There is nylon rope wound tightly around the tube- not sure what the "tube" is made of but it's rigid. After the first week of play the tightly wound rope began to come loose, but it still seems to be hiding together. My grandkids really enjoy it

It's definitely solid wood, and heavy. However, the upholstery is not leather - it's a soft vinyl or "pleather".

It is wood that is covered by carpet and some rope (for scratching). It has worn very well and the carpet does not shed.

The top appears to be made of the same wood as the legs. Both have knots. IDK if cedar has knots or not. Seems more sturdy than pine, tho.

I am not sure. My son put this together for his daughter at Christmas in 2012. She loved it and still has it. Lots of children have played with it and is in good shape. If I had to guess I would say it is all wood---that is how it appears to me.

The rope is nylon. I doesn't quite coil up as nice as I'd like but this thing worked perfectly for me this summer. I would recommend.

It's a very heavy cardboard. I have two of them, one in the utility room and one in the kitchen. Both get a lot of workouts .. they are holding up just fine, still look like new.

It's partical wood with a veneer over it. It's very well made. Mine is very sturdy and I love it.

It comes with some rope, but you will need to get your own hardware which is understandable considering the many different ways you can attach them

The rope is not rough at all. Very nice lead. I think you will be very happy with this purchase.

Yes. The ends are very cheap but the rope is very strong. I would guess it could hold up to about 200 pounds or maybe even more.

It appears to be sandwiched pre-engineered lumber (similar to particle board) that has several layers glued together (reason for the weight). The way it is constructed makes it out as heavy duty. It is a solid piece and will last for a long time.
