Default Walmart has $30 cat tree

It's one of those things that you put together, like a base, 4 posts
and 4 platforms and it reaches the ceiling. The posts appear to be made of
real thick cardboard (think toilet paper when the TP is all gone).

I was wondering if anyone owned one of these or if anyone thought
this seemed like a good deal?

If you don't have a large cat, then they work ok.. I personally bought a
tree from Wal-Mart that is about three maybe four feet tall, that has a
house at the top of it, and my cats love it. I also bought a five foot tree
on ebay that they absolutely love..

I've got one and both of my cats love it. Best thing I ever bought them.

It's quite sturdy. It attaches to the ceiling through a spring-loaded metal
pipe... and if someone jumps on it very hard, it can move a couple of inches
on the ceiling. Just need to shove it back over every now and then. Hasn't
shown any indication of falling apart yet, and I've had it about 6 months.

Great deal, IMO

I had one of these. When I got my new kitty, in addition to my 8 month old,
the two would play so rough and race around the house and up the cat tree.
Soon, the tree broke and knocked my baby kitty out cold. He didn't move for
45 seconds! I wouldn't jeopardize my kitties life again by buying something
so cheap! Spend the extra money to get something solid. Unless of course,
your cat is not very playful and wouldn't rush up the thing.

We bought one and found it was very flimsy and the shelves were too
small for any of my cats. Would only be suitable for tiny kittens.
I just didn't trust it to safely support my cats so we laid it on the floor
for them to use as a scratcher.

Save your money and buy something decent at createacatcondo.com
now those are sturdy safe trees. You can see the pictures and review

I checked it out and it is not bad UNLESS you have a large cat like I do. The shelves are
like 11 / 12 inches then you have a 3 / 4 inch hole in it for the pole which does not
leave much room for them to lay if they want. If they just like to climb it to get some
place else it might be fine but mind like to lay high on thing and they would end up
falling off the first time they rolled.

Look around and get something bigger even if you have to pay more!!
