I've been on Zooplus again today and ordered a new tree.

It's got good reviews about being sturdy etc and will be stood next my leather recliner and a smaller tree.

Yay, we've got that one, except I ordered it from somewhere else about 8 months ago and got it in cream as dark blue would stick out like a sore thumb in my living room.

It really is great, it's a big one and the cats love it. They like sleeping on the top platforms, they use it for scratching a lot and it is sturdy, even when they start a silly fight on the top of it, or jump on it at full speed.

That's the one I was looking at for my two! Are any of the scratching posts tall enough for them to stretch? We've only had our kitties for about a month and they've already outgrown their post - they still use it but I can tell they'd like a good stretch!

Yes, they can get a good stretch as the bottom platforms stick out further than the upper ones, if you know what I mean, so they can stand on a lower deck and stretch right up to the next but one platform. I have two very energetic Burmese, they never use the steps, but prefer to shin up the poles to the top using their claws.

The blue one at Zooplus has been reduced now to a really excellent price, when I bought mine it was only about £20 more to get the cream one, now it's double the price. If that had been the case when I bought mine, I think I would have gone for the blue and repainted the sitting room instead!
