Highlighted Reviews

β€” Catpuccino

"My cats love it! It wasn’t too hard to assemble. The hammock is easy to move. I put it in the front instead of on the side. It’s so adorable when they sit in the little hammock and play with the toy."

β€” Moes

"Cheaply made. No matter how tight you screw the pieces together, the entire cat tree is not stable. The material is very thin and will not stand up to the cats' nails. Will no longer purchase products made in other countries as experience has only shown the products are inferior to American made...."

Bottom Line

It's a good budget option but expect durability issues. Works well for smaller, less active cats
