Awesome Cat Stand,
I saw that this cat tree had over a hundred positive reviews on another site, so ordered one. Assembled in less than 30 minutes. Sturdy, solid stand IF YOU MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN PROPERLY and enough. It is very easy to move around on a smooth floor. I have four young cats, and the three males are very active and play aggressively. They loved this stand instantly, but the great thing is that even though they rough-house on it, they are also very mellow on it. They love sleeping in the perches and are very calm when they are resting there.
The material is not carpet, but a kind of plush covering, but no matter as they use the many sisal posts to scratch on. The underlying material is a kind of particle board vs. plywood, which is great because you can staple lots of other hanging toys from different places.
My cats range in weight from 11-13 pounds and it is plenty big enough for them, including the perches.
The other reason I got this was for my 4th cat’s health. She is a female rescue who has had ongoing lung problems; she was always hiding under beds and avoiding the males which complicated her condition, given that I have tile floors that are impossible to keep dust free. After seeing that new show “My Cat from Hell” I liked the advice about giving cats a high place to go. It worked. It took her several days, but she got used to the tree and is now on it, and off the ground, most of the time. She has, as in the TV show, become more relaxed, friendly, and approachable. She plays more, and now the stuff in her lungs is clearly loose and getting coughed up. The best part is that for the first time since she was a kitten she has started purring again.
I cannot say enough what this silly tree did for all my cats’ morale and quality of life. I plan on buying a second one so they have a bigger area on which to hang out. and the toy mouse that it came with is STILL hanging on after being attacked repeatedly by all 4 cats!
Update: as of today, 9/30/11, the mouse is still attached despite massive abuse. One of the top towers got a bit wobbly from the cats’rough play, so an easy fix was to get a dowel, some washers and screws, and I just attached the dowel from the bottom of the perch into the deck near the post, and it shored up the perch. total cost was around $3 for materials and took less than five minutes. My cats love this thing.
Update: 1/6/12, stand is still going strong, mouse is still attached!

|cats love it BUT…,
This is not the best quality and I’m sure the company (go pet club) is well aware of that fact.
My cat tree is missing one of the mice on the string and I second what another reviewer said: the stairs do not work. Whoever designed the stairs messed up on that part because there was no way they could be put on. If you screw them in, they hang straight down. Also, the top condo needed a longer screw, so I went out and bought one to solve that problem. It just sucks because I have these cat tree stairs hanging out in my closet now with no use for them (any suggestions?). I emailed the company about the problems and they sent me 2 really crappy screws that had been sloppily cut to another size as well as an extra condo piece (which I didn’t need but was happy to get), but they didn’t do anything about my missing mouse and those BS screws did not fix the stair issue. They wanted pictures showing the problems as if they don’t know about it already. & FYI I put blankets inside of the condos because the cover material, while soft, is thin.
That being said, I am happy to have received this as a gift, even with the issues. My cats love it and use it daily to scratch, sleep in, or climb on. I would probably have been more angry though if I’d been the one who bought it.
Zero stars for the company, and 3 stars because my cats enjoy it anyway (and aren’t on my couch as much!). But cats enjoy playing with crumpled paper…

|Great Price & Great Product,
I read all the mixed reviews on this product and was hesitant to order it. I’m glad I finally did. The furniture arrived 4 days after I ordered it. The box was not beat up as I have read in other reviews. All pieces were in the box as well. The directions were easy to understand. It took me about 45 minutes to complete the assembly. I had no trouble. I have read many reviews about the stairs not working. I had no issues attaching them. It is not at all wobbly either. If this company had these issues in the past they have corrected them. I did notice a faint odor but it smells like glue. It is not a strong odor, I believe it is from the sisal rope glued onto the posts. My cats didn’t seem to be bothered by it. The furniture is not covered in carpeting but with a soft furry like fabric. It is quite nice and my cats immediatley started rubbing all over it. Overall I would highly recommend this product. I shopped around at all the local pet suppliers and online and compared prices and products and this furniture is well worth the money spent.
