How stable is the base? I have 5 cats and don't want them to kill it.

I had a Tiger , I really love it, but, the TV killed him. I am reallly sad. Right now, I am trying to get a lion.

The feet are different than the stock photos all the sites show of it. It is stable. More so than TVs with center stand only. Your cats will not knock this over unless a large fatty walks right up the middle of the back and pushes real hard. Unlikely. The feet sit flat on the table not teetering like it shows, its curved and has alot of contact with the surface it sits on. Its not much like the photo at all.

No possible way a cat is taking this tv down. It is as sturdy a set as I have ever had. Much, much sturdier than the ones with the center pedestals..

I was concerned about that too when I purchased it. Believe me...it is very sturdy. The weight of this tree is evenly distributed, and has a very solid base. When you get it and put it together you will see. I have 4 cats that are always playing or sleeping in it. My two, 1 year olds, love chasing each other around and through it. At times they come at it full force, and the thing never budges, and I have hardwood floors. They also like to claw their way up the back of the tree instead of using the ladder. I have it in the living room, and it is so much fun to watch them enjoying this tree. It is a beautiful tree and I love it!!! I was concerned about that too when I purchased it.

I have three cats one is about 13lbs. No problem with stability. You could use metal angle brackets to fasten to wall in a couple of places. I think the large flat areas were made of plywood so you probably would need to use 'T-nuts' to fasten to wall.

Yes it holds up well. I had 5 full grown cats on it and it held up well for 2 years then somehow the top condo came lose. Now I have 2 18 lb cats that love to use the existing shelves. I don't know how the top came lose but I'm sure it was because more than three cats weighing 11 and over we're using it good strong condo.

Yes. It is very stable if left alone, but if a cat jumped onto it, it could be knocked over.

No. not at all. My concern was people bumping into it as we use it to cardon off a hallway. It's very sturdy. I don't think a small cat could knocik it over jumping at it at full speed.

The tower is pretty sturdy. My 3 cats have been on at the same time. Two on the very top one on the second level. 15 lbs is pretty heavy though. Both my cats might be under that weight combined.

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's a little less stable when completely folded to 7", especially in areas where the floor is not 100% level. Mine won't fall over by itself, but a good-sized cat launching off of it would probably knock it down.

I've had the condo since my cat was only a few months old, she is now slightly over ten pounds and still runs up and down it. I have it against a wall and occasionally you'll hear it bang into the wall when she throws her weight around but we've never had an issue of it tipping. My mother in law has the same one and has a huge stray cat, no problem with tipping, 5 cats might be a different issue.

Yes. We have big kitties and the like to run and jump. Like another responder said, it does wobble a bit. We placed some hand weights on the base (about 30 pounds total, I think) and it has never fallen over Even when they rough house with each other (Which they do a lot).

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.

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.

The base is not SOLID in the sense of the bottom being heavy and filled with material. BUT, it is solid in the sense of it doesn't tip over easily, it stays put when you touch it, etc. I've got cats and even they haven't knocked it over. I'm enjoying my lamp, stylish and useful.

The bottom of this is removable, so if you placed it over a hard surface is going to be ok. It has enogh room for 7 cats

I have 4 cats (only 1 over 15 lbs) and they use this as part of a large grouping of cat condos. As another reviewer said, find some bracing, as it's a bit wobbly. Also, mine too has gotten quite a bit of wear of the legs. I'll be rewrapping those with new twine. Otherwise your cat should like it fine

I have two cats and they haven't knocked it over once in the three months since I got it. They pretty much leave it alone because they know better than to bother baby territory! The nice thing about the rocking legs is even if your cat bonked into it, it would just rock and not fall over. Plus the legs are wide and criss crossed to distribute weight well so it is pretty hard to tip over at all. It's sturdy but it is light weight so if a bigger cat jumped onto one of the sides or something it's possible it could happen. I say you're safe as long as either baby is buckled in or cats are separated or you're supervising. I have two cats and they haven't knocked it over once in the three months since I got it.
