Bought this tower for my little squad of 3. My BS has taken to it straight away. It is a good sturdy tower and is definitely large enough for my Maine Coon. The only thing is that the cushions are pretty poor. There is no cushioning at all in the base of the top bed, and the 3 shelves just have some fur fabric. I solved this with H&M seat Pads. They match pretty well and are the perfect size for the bed. My cats are very happy now.

I'm really disappointed with the XXL scratching barrel this time 🥺! A few years ago, we bought this XXL scratching barrel twice already, and back then they were much heavier, sturdier, and also cheaper!!! And today I see it's on offer for €107.90, but I paid €134.90—bad luck for me, I ordered it on Sunday, unfortunately too early!! And now it's also lighter and smaller than the old scratching barrel, which honestly makes me really sad!!!

Years ago, I bought a bin—this exact one—and now I've noticed that the new XXL bin is both smaller and lighter. The height difference is a whole 3 cm, and it's 1 cm narrower. The new bin weighs 15.5 kg, while the old one was 17.8 kg. So, some savings have been made here; don't get me wrong, it's still a nice bin, but it seems to have shrunk a bit over the years ;-)
