Natural Paradise Scratching Barrel - Daisy S

This item proved to be impossible for one person to put together. some of the holes were not quite aligned, and we had to use a hammer!. Once it was assembled it looked really good and our cats seem to like it.

Looks lovely & cats liked it but the top level collapsed on top of the cat sat in the middle. The cat sat in the top is an averaged sized oriental who weighs 4kg. I thought initially it was just not put together properly and took it apart and put together again but the floor was sat properly in the slots but only just! So a bit of movement from the cat and it falls through. I've had to add brackets to make it safe. So if you've a big cat avoid or add brackets to make sturdier before use

Assembly – so-so, but it’s stable Concept – great Wood quality – poor Appearance – the screws are visible, and the wood is just begging for a nice coat of paint.

Everything was fine except that the wood isn’t nice enough to have in the living room.
