As a long time cat owner I have learned that having a cat tree of some sort is an absolute must. Before we ever had one, our furniture suffered terribly and small scratching posts were not enough to distract the cats from it. From the moment we gave the cats their own furniture, a cat tree with shelves for watching out the window and posts for scratching on every level, they totally ignored our furniture. I have berated myself for the previous years of furniture damage, pre-tree, and we will never be without one again. The main selling points of this tree for me are: • The extra shelf area afforded by the second row shelves that extend past the base. This gives a lot more play, lounging, etc. area in a multi-cat house. I even use that area now for feeding as well. • Large perches. We have large (Maine Coon) cats and need perches they can actually use. • Large sized condo. Our previous cat tree, though very nicely made, had an upright 13" diameter cylindrical condo with a shelf half way up. Our cats could never use it, they did not even fit in. This was a deal breaker for any cat tree I compared while shopping this time. Now with a large enough house both cats use it frequently. • Interesting and varied play and perch areas. • Stability. I was skeptical while building it that the height and the extending second row shelves would make it easy to tip but have been very happily surprised that this is a very sturdy design and even with large cats bouncing around on it, I have not had to worry about tip-overs. • All posts are sisal covered. This is a great selling point for me. Our previous cat tree had some sisal and some carpet covered posts. The carpet was torn up more quickly than the sisal and started looking ratty even though they seemed to prefer to scratch the sisal more. Granted, sisal eventually will shred as well but I have found it is not so onerous to re-wrap sisal posts with new rope. Questionable points: • This may be too large for some people but I would still recommend it for anyone that can manage to fit it into their homes. • The hammock may be very attractive to some cats but ours have not been interested in it. This has not been a problem as I just saved that cylinder condo from the old cat tree, took the shelf out and lay it horizontal in place of the hammock. That cylinder, in a horizontal position, no shelf taking up room, and open on both ends, is actually large enough for the cats to crawl through. They love the two doors, now on top, to squeeze, peek, and play through. • Our old cat tree was covered in carpet which not only gave some padding for more comfort but also was very durable. I put a little cushion inside the condo to make it more comfortable so mostly that is not a huge issue. I have never had faux fur covered cat furniture before so will have to learn how durable it is as a surface. So far (after only a couple of months) it is showing no signs of wear. Our previous carpet covered tree lasted about 8-9 years, though it was starting to get a bit ratty looking toward the end. In General This is a very nicely designed cat tree. It was easy to assemble and came with a little wrench for tightening it up. I had my sons help hold things together till screws were set but it was not necessary. They both just wanted to help build it so much and it turned out to be a fun if short family project. It was wider than I expected with the two shelves that stick out on each side. I had mostly gone by the base size and figured it would fit where our old cat tree sat based on that. We have a smallish living room so it takes up some room but no more than a large reclined chair in floor area. To make up for how much room it takes, it is extremely fun for the cats, giving them a lot of perching and scratch post area. We have it sitting next to a large window so they use it constantly, not only for play but also to hang out on and watch the world. They have loved it since I put it up. It was a tight fit because of my measuring error but once I managed to fit it into the space needed, I have been very pleased with the extra shelf area on the first level up, as it gives the cats more room and also allows us to feed them there. With a new kitten this has been useful in being able to feed each cat on its own shelf and avoid altercations as they learn how to get along together. Feeding on the cat tree is a new thing for us but I am thrilled with being able to have a central location for both their play and feeding. I do not water them there, however, both because our cats have always wanted to drink in the bathroom sink (we have had to keep a water bowl on the counter to accommodate this) and because I worried about water spills during play. A few crunchies scattered around, if it happens, is not nearly so messy."..."  Read more

A few details - my cat is 6.1 pounds, a female bengal mix, and INCREDIBLY picky - I would suggest anyone who is about to buy a cat tree first make sure your cat will LIKE the material it's made out of first!I bought my cat this incredibly nice and plush fleece cat bed [...]and she refused to touch the thing even when it was covered in cat nip and had strings/bells dangling over it. So needless to say, I was extremely anxious whether or not she would even like this cat tree whatsoever.Thankfully the material, faux fur, turned out to be something she truly enjoys and she was already coming around and rubbing herself against the tree before I was done assembling it!Assembly was a breeze, the instructions were really quite straightfoward - if you have ever put together Lego's in your life, this will not post any problems for you. Like other people have said it is amazing how much they fit into a small little box. All the tools and screws are provided for you, so you won't need a separate set of tools of your own.The material itself is compressed particle board, which smells like the wood section of [...]but intensified with more glue. I would *highly* suggest airing this bad boy out or at the very least vacuuming it before your cat's delicate nose gets a whiff of it (it definitely gave me a sore throat from all the chemically smelling fumes).That being said, both the fur and the board material is pretty rugged and sturdy, I was initially afraid at having faux fur be the covering material but the way that it's glued onto the boards makes me feel if my cat ever does rip a hole in it, the rip will not propagate and just uncover the whole thing. One thing though - because they used glue to adhere the fur onto the board, there were some spots that were "rough" where excess glue is hidden underneath the fur cloth, it wouldn't have bothered me at all but there was a particularly big glob of it that is directly infront of the little tepee which my cat loves to sit in.My cat has already made herself home in the tree and has been actively jumping around from level to level, and the tree hasn't even come close to being tipped over so I feel the thing is pretty well balanced. Both the tepee and the upper room are big enough to fit my 6.1 lb cat nicely - and I've even added pillows/rug cushioning, which there's room for, as the faux fur material is soft but not thick or cushioned.A couple of notes - the hammock on the bottom is either too low or too awkward to get to due to pillars next to it, my cat hasn't even tried to look at it. The rope ladder I ended up not attaching because it just eats space and it doesn't seem like my cat wants anything to do with it. Also, the middle board on the long left pole where the top of the rope ladder would have been attached to, I rotated it sideways so my cat could have more of a ledge to use to jump to the upper level with the room, without rotating it, the upper L-shaped level with the room is perfectly flush above it vertically making it hard for my cat to jump up/down. The top basket also hasn't been used I think because it's hard to get to - my cat would have to jump from the top of the room to the small pole to enter the basket which I think is too precarious for her at this stage. Lastly, the topmost platform is insanely hard for her to get to for the same reason, maybe I just don't have that active of a cat, but I feel if there was a platform by the basket it would help her out alot in ascending the tree.All in all, for the price of [$] without tax or shipping costs, this thing cannot be beat! Took me 30-45 mins to assemble by myself and my cat is loving every moment of it!"..."  Read more

Preface:My wife and I live in a two bedroom apartment and have a 6 month old kitten who loves to play and explore. We take our cat out on her leash for a walk one to two times a week so most of her physical activity is spent running and jumping throughout our apartment. We've had our cat tree for a little over a month now and are completely satisfied with our purchase. [...] we were able to set up our tree within 15 minutes. Before I was able to get the tree assembled, our cat already was having a great time stratching the posts and digging through the materials. As I'm sure you can already tell, she's not a shy cat. Before our tree, our cat loved to claw our newly purchased furniture. We tried spaying our furniture with a "Cat Off" spray which didn't help a bit. She clawed our furniture for a couple days after having the tree, simply out of habit, but since then, I haven't seen her show any interest in clawing our furniture. This tree has not only saved our furniture, but gives her a nice place to "hang out" and perch to watch us around our apartment. The tree is considerably sturdy and doesn't take up too much space. We love the colors and design because of it's cordination with our already existing furniture. We love it and so does our cat."..."  Read more

I'd had a couple of Armarkat trees a few years ago, and my old cat loved them. But when he passed away I gave them to friends (I was determined not to have another cat.) Well, as life always seems to do, it threw my plans into complete disarray by presenting me with the loveliest little kitten who needed her own cat tree. Since I don't want to keep her an only cat for ever I decided to opt for a substantially larger tree than I'd had before and this nearly 6' model seemed to be the best one for the price based on what I know of Armarkat's quality. I wasn't disappointed either. It's a good, solid cat tree with a lot of features like a ramp, a little hidey house, a rope (which Miss Peeb hasn't even noticed yet!) and balls on elastic string, which she ripped down immediately. And therein lies the first of my admittedly minor criticisms of this item. Those are lovely little toys and very alluring to cats, but unless your cat is 20 years old or a complete slug, it's going to pull those balls loose. That isn't a huge problem, but it has the potential to be quite dangerous if your cat likes to eat strange objects. I suggest you forego affixing them to the tree, cut off the elastic and just toss them to your cat. She'll have a terrific time and you won't end up with a whopping vet bill. My second criticism is that there are several different size bolts used in this item, but the sizes aren't so different that it's easy to tell them apart. I got it wrong and ended up affixing the little tunnel to the underside of one of the platform with a bolt that was too long, and pushed up through the plush cover. Rather than take the thing apart, I covered the bolt end with a bit of duct tape. It's not an elegant solution but as the tape is purple it's a jolly one. Finally I think the Armarkat trees could benefit from broader bases. This is a fairly consistent issue with the larger trees; I've noted it not only in the ones I've owned but the ones my sister has gotten for my nephews. They wobble. I'm not worried that it'll come crashing down when Miss Peeb hits it at a 90 MPH, but she's still little. And there's only one of her. If it begins to look as if there's a question about the stability, I'm going to have to find some way to attach it to the floor or wall just to be sure she won't go flying out a window one day. That would be awkward. However, all things considered, this is one of the best trees I've ever purchased, and the price was very good. The bottom line, I guess, is that I would buy an Armarkat tree again in a heartbeat."..."  Read more
