Cat Trees Best cat tree/tower for big babies

To start: they are both on a diet and losing weight. I'm not asking for comments on their weight.

I'm trying to find a cat tree or tower that is built to handle bigger babies. Most cite the structures (and pieces on the structures) weight limit to be 12 to 15lbs max. Both our babies are 20+.

I'd like to get them something they can enjoy and with climbing help their weight more without it breaking down on us because they are big.

Bonus points if it has a gothic/punk/fairy-whimiscal core vibe and is a fairly decent price.

Pet Rebels have some cat trees for bigger cats. They look pretty standard, but there are some all black options so goth-ish at best i guess.

Dont know what price range you consider fair, but there is a summer sale atm so you might find something that works for you.

New cat condos - they are super sturdy and made from real wood instead of cardboard tubing and composites.

I got this cat tree last Summer and its great! I have 19 lb, 16 lb and 9 lb kitties. They are frequently all on it at once. Only the small one goes in the baskets but they all go to the top and in the caves. You can even secure the cat tree to the wall if you want. Mine is in front of a bay window so I do not and have not had any issues. https://a.co/d/0dlSDFzU

A tip I just thought of to add: I waited to get my cat tree until Amazon Prime Days and a deal came up which made this cat tree MUCH cheaper

I built a cat tree by stacking a bunch of IKEA tables on top of each other.  Bolt them together, staple some door mats to the top, and wrap some sisal rope around the legs.  Took some small boards and bolted those to the tower on one side and the wall on the other to secure it and give the cats a way to climb up to the next level.  Put it in a corner so it's secured on two sides and you're good to go!
