A Epic Piece of Nonsense,
I bought this tree for two reasons. First, I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a hinky piece of cat furniture not meaningful if my cat would show any interest in one and second the reviews were pretty excellent for the very low price of the manufactured goods. After my experience I have no thought why others found this tree to be even close to acceptable quality. This item is only a relative approximation of the shape of a cat tree. The support tubes are, under layers of carpet and cardboard, plastic. If they were PVC that would be fine but this is a very soft plastic. The tree is assembled with threaded studs which fit into bolts embedded in the ends of the plastic tubes. Now I’ll bet your thinking I over tightened the sections and wrenched the bolts out of the plastic but you would be incorrect; after seeing the delicate nature of the connections I treated them very carefully. The problem: you can’t stand the tree upright without the bolts pulling out under the weight of the assembled tree. Once the thing is upright you still need to adjust the spring pole which fits against the ceiling and every time the tree is went it becomes more wobbly. The whole situation is very comedic. I did find out my cat likes to climb but the tree is wickedly unstable with one 14 pound Bengal on it and the shelves are pretty darn small. I expect the entire thing to be on the ground when I get home tomorrow. Unless you want to do an interest test like me or your cat is a 5 pounder I would opt for a higher quality manufactured goods.

|my cats like it,
i bought this at wallmart for 39.00. excellent manufactured goods for that price point. i would not spend more for it. very very simple assembly if you dont have to use the extension piece for ceilings over 8 feet which i didn’t. secure, wobbles a tiny bit with 3 cats racing up and down it at the same time. the carpet is very low end and does not take in the underneath of the shelves. for what i paid for it but, it is a fantastic deal. when the carpet wears i may consider wrapping the poles with sisal and replacing the carpet on the shelves. this would be an simple project.

|Worth every penny.,
Bought it at Walmart 3 years ago and now I am getting ready to get the same kind as a replacement. It withstood a LOT of abuse from my two cats, so I consider 3 years an accomplishment. My cats like it, they race up and down, hang off of it, and even though it wobbles, the spring has kept it stable and secure the whole time. The carpet padding survived more than two years of heavy scratching and only within the last half a year it started to tear. It is certainly worth the money.
