Not Sturdy for full grown cat

Truly crap!  If your cat weighs more than 10lbs don't buy.  Not very sturdy at all!

I have one 13 lb cat and my sister & her husband have a 5 lb kitten.  They play on this all the time.  It was sturdy, but after un-assembling and re-assebling it twice a few of the connecters have broken. I am in the process of contacting the manufacturer for replacement connecters.  Overall my cat loves this...it's definitely nice for people who don't want a LARGE 6 ft. cat tree.  =)

Our kittens love the hammock-like structures, but it's not sturdy enough for them beyond the 10-12 pounds where they are now and we are now looking for a sturdier replacement. We bought into this system hoping it would last a while. The poles constantly fall out and we've resorted to taping them into place with mixed results. Don't dare move it or they fall apart. The kittens play on it and they fall apart. The design is flawed in that the hammocks have to attach on 4 sides but they can't attach on a side that already holds fabric - it limits configurations. I knew going in that this was going to be a starter playgym for the kittens but I was expecting it to last longer and stay together. I still want a modular unit as it's a different feel for the cats than a standard cat condo/tree - so now I'm looking for a sturdier higher quality design. Competitors are made by Sovit, Prevue and Feline Furniture.

This thing is really too small for a grown cat. More kitten size than anything. We have a small cat and she couldn't lay down comfortably in it.

Very disappointing!!! If you have medium to large sized cats, it's much too small. It feels like fabric stitched over particle board with hard edges..no cushioning anywhere. As I put it together, I noticed it wasn't as sturdy as it should be...the pieces attached to pillars would move, no matter how tight the screws were. I could see one of my cats wrecking it after a few jumps on and off, while playing.  When I attempted to put the final screw in the final piece, but the metal piece was missing from the particle board, so there was no way to secure the screw.

It is not tall enough for my dark calico cat, and her sister, she lays at the base to scratch with it and it is not sturdy enough. It is really meant for kittens. Also, if you take a closer look at the top, you will notice that it is loose and we only had it for 5 days. Not worth buying but they use it.

it is very cute but if your cat weighs more than about 5 pounds the tower will snap off
i had to take off one of the tower pedestals and use the shelf to stabilize the tower so it is not nearly as tall as it should be

The bottom landing needs to be bigger as when cat jumps it falls over.  Cat will not use as unsteady.

You must use zip ties at all the joints to make it strong to where it will no collapse on your cat.
also the ledges don't fit well and topple unstable.  also must zip tie.
the doors are hard to open and close.
Not sure it was worth the money to go cheap on the cat play cage.
Think next time will spend a little more and get a solid cage.
This will do in a pinch.

The directions are pretty easy to follow. All of the pieces are labeled and you reference the diagram to assemble. Had to undo pieces a couple times but overall easy assembly.

The product itself is very solid. It wouldn't rock if a cat jumped on it. Also, the material is very soft and inviting for cats.

Overall, not a bad cat tree. HOWEVER, I do not believe it was made for a full-grown cat. After putting it together I realized how small the hut was and the top bed. If a cat were laying on the bed on top of the tree, they'd be hanging off both sides. Also, if a cat jumped in the hut, they'd have trouble turning around and their feet would hang out the front. This is unfortunately why I had to return the tree. I did not want to pay for a tree that my cat would grow out of so quickly.

My cat fell off of it twice and now she won't go near it-it is built too shaky and very unstable. The platforms are so small she cant even sit on them much less lie down. I am having to brace all legs and increase the size of the platforms-hopefully when I'm done she'll go try it again. She is only 7 pounds so its not that shes a large cat-not worth the cheap sale price-guess ya git wat ya pay for

This cat tower looked so hopeful but upon receiving it and assembling it, the tower turned out to be very wobbly. Heavy cats beware--this will not hold you! Only so-so for the very thin and small cat. There were sharp staples sticking out of the material which I fortunately found and removed with pliers before any of the cats were injured. For those looking for the old heavy duty towers that could be bought a pet stores....this is not it.

I finally put it out for free on the curb and replaced it with a heavy duty smaller tower (not made by this company), for less money that I found at Big Lots, and made in the USA. The new one is a hit! Also recommend the SmartyCat cat nip spray. The cats go crazy for it and after spritzing the tower, they do some pretty elegant double flips and dismounts.

This cat tree is much too flimsy.  It would be fine for kittens, but it is not stable enough for really active cats weighing more than say 7 lbs.  It took a long time to assemble, so we were screaming raving lunatics by the time it was put together.  The diagram was confusing. The tree will go out on our porch once it is screened in and we can guy wire the post to something solid. I would NOT recommend this product, and it would be too expensive to return.

Nice item and works fine but way to small for even one full grown cat.  Very sad. They could have a great product if they would give a cat some room and make the litter container a little less shallow (I even bought the forever tray and its too shallow too).  My full grown, ordinary size cat, can only turn around if she keeps her body in a U shape and there is barely a 1/2 inch layer of litter in this thing. If you add more, the rake rakes it to one end leaving a 1/2 inch layer still. Most full grown cats need more then this to dig in and bury their business.  This would probably be great for a kitten or very small cat.

I like the height and feel of the material. We have two cats, both about 10 lbs each, one is a feisty kitten. When the younger cat could jump on it the whole thing would rock, especially the very bottom stand in front. After quite a few months of having the cat tree, the front stand finally broke. When the cats would jump up it would rock and was really shaky. Then one day, as the younger cat went to jump up it, the bottom stand fell over, bolt still inside it and all. It ripped right out of the bottom base. The other stands are still in tact, so it's still functional.

Very unstable - this might be an OK item for a kitten or very small cat.  But every time my 14 LB cat jumped up on the end, the other side hit her in the face.  Needless to say - she stopped using it after the 3rd try.
