It took about a month for my cat to realize that this was his spot. He immediately went for the balls on a string! Within 24 hrs two of the three balls were cat toys on the floor. It's easy to attach other toys to the metal piece that holds the string or tie balls onto the string.

I did a few things to make my cat hang out on the cat tower instead of on my chair. Such as picking him up and putting him on the tower and petting him there when I got off work. Scratch the post with my finger nails, that sound immediately made him interested in scratching. And putting his cat toys on the different levels of the tower.
I was a little disappointed that he didn't love it immediately, but now he hangs out on it and sits on this to look out of the window instead of sitting on the window sills.

I bought this product in September 2016. I liked this product a lot when it arrived. It is:
- Sleek. Looks gorgeous in a modern/minimalistic house, matches IKEA perfectly.
- Easy to assemble - it took me probably about 20 min to put it together and push it in the corner I wanted

However, 4 Months later, this is how it looked like (see pictures).
I have only one cat, a 6 yo siamese and she's not out-of-her-mind-crazy about this tree. She's got other toys, beds and places where she sits/declaws but this was a great spot to feed her so that the dog would not reach her food.
One rope is completely smashed while the other is about to come out.
The pillow on top looks scratched and the threads are coming out of it.
The edges of the wood got cracked a bit and look old.

I am utterly disappointed, more as there's no way I can fix this and it looks horrid.
Too bad for the design, only if production would have been better.

I foster kitties and so I need something I can sterilize jic someone gets sick. This is a beautiful unique cat tree. You can add carpet with velcro or even insulated beds. The scratchers are super sturdy and it provides plenty of kitty shelter even if it is extremely compact and fits in any room big or small. I will be buying from this company again and again as do far they are officially my favorite makers of cat furniture. They seem to "get" what a cat wants, what a cat needs, what ever keeps them happy sets them free and I'm thanking them for knowing exactly...

It's easy to put together for people who can read directions and are not me. However, my boyfriend assembled it pretty easily. Looks like this is a perch cats will get a lot of use out of. Especially if placed next to a window. We got caves for cave dwelling cats. Perches. Beds. It's amazing.

It will really hold up against time and use too.

Highly recommend this to all my cat people and friends.

This moldy garbage made our entire family sick including our cats who now have ear infections and respiratory issues because of the mold growth. See photos.

I love the look and design of the product. It was very easy to construct and my cats very much like the scratching posts. The deal breaker for me was that the poles and pads were all replaceable!

So, i was disappointed to not be able to find replacement poles. The company has indicated to me that they have none in stock for a few months and to check back then.

So, until then, we have an eyesore rather than an attractive cat condo.

I would think that other customers might feel suckered if they buy such a pricy piece of cat furniture and not be able to purchase replacements in a timely and definite time window.
Buyers beware of this if your cats are all about scratching posts!
