The tower itself is great. Easy to assemble, did need to vacuum all the pieces as I put it together, no big deal. Hint: do NOT let your pet play with the fake mice before you put together, they WILL find a way to break it first.  The reason I gave this an ok is due to the "carpet", it's kind of like a velour, it's very soft and plushy, but really provides no purchase for them when they play (and yes they all still have claws). I had 4 cats, now 3, and the only time they use it at all is when they're hiding from company, they always avoid the "stairs", the top 3 shelves, and the middle sitting section. We have 2 other scratching devices with real carpet and they use those just fine.

Looks great, it was very easy to assemble, only 3 pieces. The only drawback is that the desk surface is not totally flat, it has groves that make it hard to write on

Pretty nice little tower.  The shelves fit on snugly which is nice.  Mine had a broken foot, but Seville sent me a replacement no questions asked.

Basic stacking tower that wobbles. Bright colors. I wish the stem wouldnt come out of the base so easily though.

Awesome tower, had it for a few years, but now the power button or the connection to it have stopped working.  It's unfortunate because the tower is so good, but I did get it on sale for about half it's retail price, so it doesn't bother me too much considering the few years I got with it.

This actually was a pretty nice unit.  I have a sample my share of this type of building before over the years and this one is more solid than most.  Assembly was quick and painless even for me alone I required no help and there were no difficult steps that needed two people.  Once its fully assembled its very solid and everything moves smoothly for the drawers and the top piece that slides open to let you get at the power strip.

 I wish they had included some kind of plastic or something for the bottom of the feet to make this easier on carpeting since as it is its simply wood.

 I like the height because I have an adjustable bed and I have it on 3 inch risers as well to make sure I could still fit storage underneath it with the motors it has taking up apace.  So I wanted a tall nightstand that would put things at I level while Im laying in bed and this did the trick.

 Unfortunately despite the fact that it seemed to be so well protected and secure during shipping, I still ended up with a unit that has a scratch dead center on the front of the top piece so theres no way to avoid seeing it.  For this price I would expect to be able to receive something that wasn't damaged.

First, the desk itself is awesome. It was exactly what I was looking for, though obviously that is a subjective opinion based on your needs.

Second, what is not subjective, however, is putting this thing together. Put simply after decades of putting together these sorts particle board desks, bookcases, etc., I have never seen something as well documented and as easy to put together as this was.

I have three cats, two of the cats (Digit and Punky Doodle) like this tower a great deal (the other one, Caesar, doesn't like to be in this area because the big d-o-g-s are running rampant).  Mostly my cats enjoy the tower for laying around.  Unfortunately, I can't put much in the way of fun things in the lowest level of the power tower, because, again, those darn d-o-g-s stick their noses and paws in there first, knocking things about with their rambunctiousness.  I can say that the cats were trying to play with the toys I initially supplied. Another problem is it's low enough that the cats could get chased by the d-o-g-s if they were to remain there for more than a second or two.  That cats use the second and third level, and sometimes will use the scratching post and "feather teasers."

I have it in natural, and what I love about it is the looks. It's nice and neat and clean looking.  It looks very well made. Every carpet-clad cat tree I've gotten has ended up shredded, with carpet yarns hanging down off the edges and sides.  Even in a pristine condition, they are just not good looking items.  My icky old tree is now hidden in the basement behind the fireplace and is still much beloved by my shy guy, Caesar.  But the other two prefer this one.  It's in the dining area and looks very good (considering there's a cat tree in my eating area); it's an open-floor-plan house, and this is the best spot for it.

The unit is well thought out and constructed (you assemble it; I had some questions, but found it easy to contact the guy that designed it (he has a video of the assembly on youtube if I remember correctly).  If the carpet should get shaggy, the fact that it's modular allows you to just pull out the carpeted pieces and replace them (or the carpet, I guess). I expect this tree to last a very long time and to be worth the money.

[I do have another attractive unit situated in my bedroom<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Replus-Cool-Hues-Cat-Tree/dp/B00470VM06/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Replus Cool Hues Cat Tree</a>, made up of stacked boxes of diminishing size.  None of my cats like to climb through it, Caesar likes to be on top, and practically leaps straight there, Digit is a little big for doing anything other than going in the big bottom hole on occasion, Punky "Psycho" Doodle is not allowed in my bedroom (long story which would involve a restraining order if humans were involved).]

Reliable, easy to assemble, and very solid. I recently joined a community wind ensemble, in which *everyone* has his or her own stand, and I'm glad I got this one. As good as anyone else's and better than most.

04/06/2014: I have had reason to rethink my review. The stand itself is great but the thumbscrews used to lock it in place are not durable at all. The clamps do not grab the metal well without a lot of tightening and I have stripped all three thumbscrews since buying this stand. I have had to basically rebuild the clamping mechanism in order to hold the stand where I want it. Even then I have had to caution my co-players not to touch it once it's in place. I bought it from remembering the Hamilton name from several decades of playing in bands and am rather disappointed in the lack of engineering durability put into the clamps.

This is the second tower I've owned.  I sold the first one when I moved, and was not terribly sorry to see it go.  This tower is far superior to my first; very stable, excellent configuration, and a great piece of equipment.  Not a piece of cake to assemble, but just because of the sheer number of parts.

This tower is useful and has held up well through nearly a year of hard use. A few observations that may help your purchasing decision:

-- Fit and finish are rough. Some pieces arrived dented, some didn't fit together easily, and some welds are sloppy.
-- Made in China (which helps explain the above problem)
-- Will rock slightly on a carpeted surface
-- Assembly is time consuming; set aside an hour or two. Assembly can be accomplished by one person, but two would make the job far easier. Recommended tools include a socket wrench set, fixed wrenches (or slip-joint pliers), Phillips-head screwdrivers, and a rubber mallet.
-- The tower takes up a lot of space and is too tall to fit through standard doorways (and too wide and long to make it around tight corners) and must be partially disassembled to be moved between rooms
-- Overhead clearance can be tight: my head comes extremely close to the ceiling when doing chin-ups. Check all applicable measurements before purchasing.

The person putting the tower together was impress with how sturdy it was - the cats love it- the shelter volunteers find it very easy to clean.

Wow, this tower is big. At the cost of physical space, you get a lot of internal storage space. With 13 drive bays (counting two slim profile side mounts for SSDs) I don't think I will be able to fill this up any time soon. I haven't needed the feature, but it has a separate lower bay that is easy to access for hot swapping drives. There is also lot of space for large and over sized graphics cards and various aftermarket large heat sinks and water cooling systems.

The top USB 2.0/3.0, headphone, and mic ports are very convenient.

Built in fans are sufficient by themselves. You can setup the fans to be manually controlled from a knob on the top of the case, or plugged into the motherboard for CPU control. There is a second knob that also controls the built in white LEDs.

One of the reviewers commented on lack of space for cable management. I couldn't disagree more. The sides of the case easily come off and allow routing through convenient passthroughs. The inside of my case looks very clean and organized. I think you just have to plan out your build.

I guess I missed the part of it being a Gundam inspired design. I haven't watched Gundam since I was a kid so that part was lost on me. The white portion (the Gundam inspired bit) in the picture is a hinged cover that hides extra drive bays. The white cover is removable, which is good since where I have it under my desk was in just the right spot to get caught on my pant leg.

Pros:
- 13 drive bays
- Space for large graphics cards and water cooling
- Cable management is a cinch
- Hot swappable drive bays
- Top/font panel USB/audio ports
- Aperture holes for water-cooling
- 6 built in fans, with room for more

Cons:
- Large footprint
- Stock 80mm fans are very loud
- No removable/washable dust filters
- Flimsy "decorative" front door

I wish I'd known how much cats love heights before learning of it from Jackson Galaxy.  My two rescue female felines both love this tower, and one or the other is always on the top platform, greeting my wife and me as we pass by.  (Lilly, the bigger, younger all-black cat won't let me pass without first stopping me for her inspection and approval.  Her paw is constantly extended--either to prevent or grant passage.

One major caveat: the base is simply too small to hold up the tower for long--not with 2 active, acrobatic pets like mine.  After six months they knocked the whole assembly over--twice.  Since then, I've been using bar-bell weights and concrete blocks to hold it up. It looks like they're ready for the next, more elaborate (and I hope better balanced) tower.

It was pretty easy to build.  I think it looks great.  It was a great price.  Only complaint was I had a chip in the wood on one of the items.  It was in the middle inside under the top so I just used some super glue.  No one can tell that it had a chip.  I would have been upset if it was chipped in a visible area and had to return it.

Easy to assemble. Looks great. It should be another foot taller but exactly as described.
