Well...depends on what you consider expensive. I thought it was cheap considering that I bought something much smaller than that for onlyt $30 less at a petstore. I ordered this on-line through ebay. Total with shipping was $123.99. $99 for the tree and $24.99 to ship. Here the link to ebay showing the auction...and this seller really is cheaper than buying direct from fiesta cat..I checked fiesta cat's website and it really does cost the $149.99 that the ebay seller said it cost retail. So it was a deal buying it through ebay. Hope that made sense to you.
