I'm wondering about the sturdiness of the legs since table is HEAVY. I'm going to have cats jumping up and down from it. Anyone have an issue?

The legs are very sturdy and their attachment to the table top is very secure.

VERY sturdy table. We use ours in our work lunch room and it gets some heavy use. It still looks good and I'm still getting compliments on it's appearance. I did put a coat of Johnson's Paste Wax on the top when it first arrived. I polishes up beautifully and has a durable finish. I did a lot of shopping before buying this table and it is the best quality I found, it's even better than many that were more expensive. This is a great table and you will surely be pleased with it too.

The table is very sturdy and well made. We are very pleased with the quality.

Yes it is sturdy...our youngest cat who weighs about 10 lbs jumps from the floor to the top perch and it has never faltered. As far as soft - there is a soft covering on it but no padding.

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.

My cat is about 14 pounds. The upper perches rock when he stands or moves on them, but there's no indication that the structure is unstable. The bottom part of the tree is very stable. I think the bigger issue is that my cat (who's not as heavy, but is very long and tall) barely fits on the perches, can only sit on top of the first cat condo because I've moved the stairs, and never ventures into the condos because they're simply too small. He uses the tree all the time, but it's slightly difficult for him to use it for napping.

I haven't observed any unstableness whatsoever. My cats reach high up and get a good stretch each time, but the unit has maintained stability. The base is pretty heavy, and fairly large. I ordered second one for another part of the house...they like it that much!

Yes, it is very sturdy. I had to send the ones I purchased because my cats would not go in them. I have two cat weighing 15 &18 lbs and the carriers were not big enough for them. I loved the carriers but my cats did not. The carrier would be wonderful for smaller pets

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.

It's pretty sturdy for our 13 lb cat :) as long your cats don't go up and down like crazy on it. It only wobbles VERY slighty when my cat is hyper going up. I hope this answer helps :)

That is a valid concern. It is not particularly stable. I would not leave my laptop unattended on it, particularly if cats are a worry. I also do not like this table in general. I never use it. I bought a simpler bamboo table with a built in fan at the Mac Store. Works much better. This table was a good idea in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work at all well.

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.

You're right, it was a little awkward at first for them. We did put a couple of things ( a square bench and a chair)next to it so they can use those if they need them. They don't have any problems now and after they explored it for a week. We're very happy with it. The top perches are super cushiony(not conveyed in the picture) and the overall quality is the best we've had in a cat tree.

It's pretty sturdy. I have a very energetic cat that runs into it quite often, and it's never fallen over.

It is a very sturdy table. We have our feet on ours all the time. My only complaint is the wood laminate is very heat sensitive, and will discolor if you put anything warm on it for even a second. But it is a heavy, sturdy table.

It does wobble quite a bit when our cats are on the top levels. They're each about 10-12 pounds. Even with both of them on it it hasn't tipped, though.

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 actually lent this out to my son for a weekend trip to Boston after my house guest left and have not gotten it back yet. Short answer is no first hand experience yet, best guess is after the way we bounced like crazy on it after it was set up there should be no problem. It really is well made IMO. I'm 220 lbs and it didn't budge a bit. Keep the felines, the real cat type, away though. They would love to knead on this thing. Good luck.

My cat is about 15 lbs. and she gets up on the top pedestal everyday without problem. It wobbles just a little but very sturdy. I often do a check to tighten the screws. My cat and guest cats love it.
