- This cat tree is really awesome and fun...once it's put together! But putting it together is a pain in the rear (and the fingers, after you get done screwing everything together). The "instructions" are a numbered picture of what you need to put together first, along with a page listing what came with the cat tree. My copy of the instructions were mis-numbered a couple of times so I had to guess a couple times of what the next step should be. I also found the parts list confusing at first because it was hard to tell what size the posts were. They were all listed in centimeters -- I finally had to go find a tape measure with centimeters listed so I could figure out which ones to use.



One important thing to know is that the order of what you're supposed to put together first NEEDS to be followed closely. I went out of order a couple of times and ended up stuck and having to take the whole thing apart and start over. Another tip I would give is to put it together on its side on the floor and then set it upright. It also helps to have another person to help you put everything together as some of the pieces come with crooked holes or holes that haven't been drilled all the way through.



All in all, it took me 7 hours, my mom's help, a bunch of slivers from screwing in the rope covered posts, and one crying hissy fit to get the tree put together. But the tree looks awesome and my cats LOVE their new toy. I do think the tree looks like it's made for smaller cats -- which mine are -- and I agree with the other reviews that the right side isn't nearly as stable as the left. I'm going to wait and see how my cats handle it before I decide whether or not to secure it more.



If you're willing to go through the headache of assembly, this cat tree is totally worth it AND it's a great price -- over $100 less than what the manufacturer's website is selling it for. Just be prepared to spend a very frustrating, sweaty day putting it together.

- We were so happy to receive this and couldn't wait to put it together. However, it had the worse directions I have ever seen in my entire life. None of the parts were numbered! The directions was just a picture of the jungle gym. Then numbers on the picture and some lines where it was hard to tell what was numbered. Like the bolt/screws or the parts to use. However, the actual pieces and screws/bolts, ect were not numbered. So, we seperated everything by what numbers we thought they were. However, it was hard to tell. Then we started trying to put it together. For instance there are 2 ladders. We couldn't get the ladder to fit in there right. Then when we got the second ladder and it wouldn't fit right. We finally thought maybe they are not the same and there is some difference. So, we traded them out. Then they fit perfectly. Which would of all been avoided if the parts were numbered. Then we get all the way to the last square on top and there is no place to hang the rope. Because we put that square on the bottom. Not knowing all the squares weren't the same. They all looked the same. There was no way were were taking the entire thing back apart to get the right square. This was very upsetting. Then the right side where there is nothing to touch the ceiling is not stable. It moves and the cats practically knock the entire thing over. It needs a ceiling holder on both sides. Also the top square one part doesn't screw in it just sits on top. So, the bolt thing pushes through to the carpet where the cat can sit on it. So, it is not as great as it looks. My sister and I don't drink but after this we had to. My Mom had to bring us a bottle of wine, we were so upset. (yes we are of age) It took hours to figure out how to get it together and put it together. Then I had carpet burns on my knees from trying to get stuff together. Also, on one of the hammocks the hole was too small for the thing it attached to. It took about 30 minutes to get the hole bigger to get it to fit in it. This was the worst directions I have ever had. I wouldn't buy from them again. As long as it stays together and does not fall over on the right side, it will do. But, I would of prefered better directions and a help number to call!

- After seeing the higher prices and smaller sizes of climbing trees in local pet stores, this was an easy decision. We don't regret it at all-- our Bengal loves it. It is higher quality than I expected, too. Very sturdy connections, the fabric is securely attached to the platforms (without staples!), and the sisal is wrapped tightly around the posts. The other review was right on about the third section; it is quite wobbly. We plan to connect the two towers with an additional board wrapped in sisal.



I gave this four stars instead of five for two reasons: first, and this is very minor, the color of the fabric is "retro" in a bad way. It is a little more gold than it appears in the pictures. I'd prefer something more neutral. Our cat doesn't care, but it's not something I'd be proud to display in our living room (it resides in the corner of our bedroom). The big fault is the size-- right now, at 16 weeks, it is perfect. It seems like it was built on 7/8th scale. I'm afraid that he will outgrow this within a year. The fabric baskets will probably be to small soon, but he LOVES them now! The tubes are a small diameter and there's not much space around them, but the good news is that I can just remove them when he gets bigger. Since this is easy to assemble, it is easy to disassemble.



Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this to any cat owner with the space for such a big item. A better bargain than you'll ever find in a pet store.
