I bought a smaller one - 5 levels - on eBay, same maker, and it is REALLY wobbly, has been since I purchased it. The screws strip their threads too easily, so we can never tighten the posts, they just go round and round and round, so the levels are always spinning position.
Of course, this can be fun when spinning a cat around and around just to mess with their cute little heads.
To anchor it enough to keep it from slamming sideways into the wall and/or falling over when a cat leaps onto/off of it (and my cats are both less than 10 pounds each) I had to put a really large and heavy granite rock on the center of the base.
I later bought a couple of more expensive but MUCH better built trees from PetsMart, and am extremely happy with their durability. I will never buy the cheaper Amarkat trees again.
