The tower itself is well made and easy to put together. The toys that come with the tower are another story. DO NOT USE THE TOYS!!!! They are balls of string you attach to the tower via an elastic string. We don’t give our cats string becuase we know it is a serious risk, but with the toy being attached to the tower, I didn’t think there would be a problem. Then I witnessed my very active kitty take the toy in his mouth and dive bomb off the tower. He got bits of string to come off the toy and promptly ate them. We ended up at the vet with a very sick kitty. He could have very easily died. The strings get caught in their intestines and can rub back and forth inside them like a saw until they cut all the way through. Our kitty was fortunate in that the strings did not cut all the way through, they just caused some bad irritation. All in all we spent $288.00 at the vet and if he had needed surgery, it would have been a lot more. I repeat, DO NOT USE THE CAT TOYS THAT COME WITH THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

I bought this cat tree for my two cats (one adult about a year old and one kitten about 4 months old) who had been disagreeing since the younger of the two arrived. They both instantly fell in love with it, and have even stopped fighting since it arrived! I worried at first that the top perch has the tiniest wobble to it, but it doesn’t seem to bother either kitty. They play on it and sit next to each other watching the squirrels go by.
It’s a great product that I’d recommend to anyone with one or more cats. It’s really sturdy with a good solid base. As long as you tighten all the bolts enough, you shouldn’t have any wobble to 95% of its structure (just the very top and only a tiny bit). Assembly is pretty easy, just make sure to put the flat headed bolts in the bottom of the base and not the rounded ones. That might sound like a no-brainer, but all but two of the bolts are the same length and width so it can get confusing if you’re not paying close attention. Also, the directions show the two cat perches on top having the wall lip facing to the right side. My declawed cat found this problematic so I unscrewed the lower one and rotated it 90 degrees counter-clockwise and re-attached it. This seems to be a better configuration than the original because the lips now on the outside edges of the tree and serve to hold the kitties in rather than block their path to the top. The tall posts give both cats things to scratch so they can get a good stretch.
Hope you love yours as much as we love ours!

I ordered this on Sunday and recieved it on Tuesday! My 2 cats really enjoy climbing this sturdy tower and quite often are found sleeping on the top shelf. This unit is quite sturdy and it took less than 30 minutes to assemble it. I’m a 60 year old female so someone else may have been able to assemble it qicker. I definately reccommend this Tower.

This is my first tree house. The whole thing was so easy to put together. They label all pieces and diagram how to put it together. (it’s not complicated like some of the Ikea ones) I would not use the toy at all because it tears apart easily and could become hazardous to your cat. My cat loves this tree house. She is drawn to it to do her scratching and she loves to lay up on the top perches. It doesn’t wobble even close to what I thought it would, especially since she is a rather large cat, not really heavy just tall and long. In some of the pet stores I have been in, the trees tend to shake really easy, not this one. She doesn’t even notice the wobble. I put a different hanging toy in the spot and she loves to jump up and play with it. She can jump from the floor to the top in one swoop which is cool when I spot her doing it. I would buy from this company again. Glad I took action and made my not so little kitty purr!

Much less expensive than pet stores for same quality. Very easy to assemble. I have two cats and they both love it. It does wobble a bit when they get rowdy up on the top, but it seems pretty secure with the four scratching posts at the base. Many that I looked at only had 3 posts at the bottom. After reading other reviews, I did opt not to attach the toy. Overall, my cats and I are very pleased.
