4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, instructions suck December 25, 2010

By Jiri Mracek

The instructions do suck as few reviewers noted. A simple way to remedy this is to take a very good look at the photo of it on the web, take a good look at the bill of material, realize that there are 3 different lengths of various posts and two flat platforms are slightly different - one has a pre-drilled hole for a rope, the other doesn't. Then start building it from bottom up, NOT from the top to bottom as the instructions suggest. Make sure you tighten each section well before you attach a next one. As few reviewers suggested, skip the ladders, totally useless, our 3 months old kittens have no problem jumping from the floor straight up to the top of the lower hiding hole, no ladders needed anywhere. Also, the very top piece (and a long screw with a wingnut on it) seemed to be a bit of a mystery until I realized that it serves as an expansion piece so the whole construction can be tightened up against the ceiling (8 feet ceiling) which severely improves overall stability of it. I also switched a few pieces around (middle platform with a basket) to what I thought the cats will like better, it's quite doable. I'd give it 5 if it wasn't for horrible assembly instructions. BTW, if you're dead set to not buy "Made in China" stuff, this IS made in China, I was disappointed but not surprised. It took about 1/2 hour to assemble, fits nicely in the corner of their room. The rope isn't sisal but looks like manilla rope. The cats (three 3-months siblings, one 5-moths old) like it and use it for scratcher posts. Would I buy again? Probably not but only because it's made in China. I'd build something similar myself instead (I am relatively comfortable with hand tools).

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst of the Worst, Stay away from this product and this company!!! January 23, 2012

By R. Slack

This is the worst tree I have ever bought, it fell on my wifes head when my cat jumped on it because its design is defective, the part that connects to the ceiling is so poorly made that you can't attach it securely to the ceiling, and in turn, the base is so thin that if it isn't attached to the top, it just will fall and crash to the ground. It severely hurt my wife and when I contacted the seller to tell them that I would not keep the product, they told me that I would have to send them a picture of the defective part, when the defective part was their design. They were vile and accused me of trying to get an item for free, when I was just trying to get a return label, I even told them that I would try another design, but they were the worst and I beg anyone to try the many other manufacturers that make quality cat trees and that stand behind their products, but I have never had any experience like this from any seller on Amazon in the 12 years that I have been with them.

By H. O'Leary

My Kitties love it... The directions sucked but my man can put anything together so no biggie! Much cheaper than getting this at the pet store, thou it would be more awesome if it were covered in actual carpet like the more expensive ones instead of furry cloth but you get what you pay for! I'm Def. happy with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I was a cat........ October 5, 2009

By Michelle Morris

Like the last reviewer, the instructions are a bit deceiving. After 10 extra minutes of correcting the mistakes I made,it was fairly easy to put together. The cats are a bit afraid of it for now, but I think they will love it when they get used to this new thing in their home. Well worth the money spent. The box it came in was also questionable. You see the dimensions of the condo, and it comes in this smallish box and you think,"Where's box 2?????" But, it's all in there!!! Will futher report the likings of the condo from the tenants when they get used to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall satisfied December 4, 2010

Overall satisfied.

Not particularly keen on the nicotine-stain gold color.

Instructions are easy to follow if paid close attention to detail, just be sure to have the condos and the base facing the right ways or you'll be taking the whole thing apart again to fix any one thing put together wrong.

The ladders had to come off, otherwise it would be very difficult for the cats to traverse up and down or lay on top of the condos.

At first none of the cats would have anything to do with it, a little cat nip solved that instantly.

And, I found it useful to reverse the order of the platform and basket by the second tier condo by putting the platform below the basket contrary to the instructions having the platform above the basket. This makes it much easier for cats to move from the top of the second condo downward, otherwise there's nothing to step down onto without jumping to the floor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be Better, but it's not bad. September 30, 2011

By M. Sharpless

I bought this product, because I felt bad for having two cats in a small apartment, it's a two bedroom apartment but nothing high up for cats to get on. I was worried at first with all the reviews that said this product was wobbly and unstable. I went ahead and bought the product anyway, and I am happy I did. This is a great cat tree, it can be better but it's not junk.

First: The instructions were easy to understand, I don't know who is putting this together in the other reviews, but if they can't understand the instructions they need to go back to preschool. I can't figure out why anyone would think the instructions are difficult to understand, it's one sheet with pictures and numbers to show where things go. Simple..

Second: I agree with everyone here, the ladders just do not need to be on this thing. I thought the stability issue was because the people don't put the ladders on, but that's not the case. The ladders take way to much space on the tree. If they redesign this, they need to make the base were each ladders meet bigger. This would give more room for the cats inside the housing units, and a lot bigger space on top for them to play on. Plus the ladders would make it easier for older cats to reach the top.

Third: This product is stable, if it's not, make sure you screw in the legs tight. If they are not tight it could lead to being wobbly, also you got to make sure the top part is screwed tightly to the ceiling. It's a very large screw, but if your ceiling is higher than the screw, you will need to buy a board to put between the top of the screw and ceiling to make it stable. Without the top being tightly screwed to the ceiling like the instructions say, it can be unstable....

Fourth: My cat's don't love the thing, but they do get on it from time to time. So I guess it was worth the money, It take's a few weeks for them to get use to it. Mine did anyway, so if your cats don't jump or play on it right away, give it some time.

Last thoughts: It's a good product, the housing uses Velcro to hold the sides down and give the condo look. I have the second condo opened as to make it more of a platform than a condo. My bigger cat like the bottom condo, where my smaller cat likes the one on top, so the second one did not need to be closed off. Besides the ladders, this is a good Cat tree. It does what it's suppose to do and takes little space for it being so big.

Update:

Again the instructions are not needed, I had lost them and taken this apart when I moved. I put this thing back together with just a picture off the internet. So any semi smart person can put this together. Also the base broke a little (it is cheaply made) but I was able to repair it with a big washer. Read more ›
