AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The scratching post receives praise for its sturdiness, stylish design, and ease of assembly, making it suitable for both senior cats and kittens. While some found the steps beneficial for older cats, others noted they weren't as helpful for reaching higher spots. The fabric-covered posts were a downside for some, but overall, the cats enjoy their new play area. Despite minor issues, such as limited color options, the product is highly recommended for its functionality and visual appeal.

Great scratching post for senior cats
Easy to assemble, a high-quality scratching post, and a cat that fell in love with it during the setup. The easy climb thanks to the surrounding steps is a blessing for our 16-year-old furry friend. Brilliant!

Stable and easy to assemble
A great scratching post for my senior cat! I managed to assemble it on my own in just over 30 minutes, and I’m no expert at this. It would be easier with two people, but it’s definitely doable solo. Once assembled, it’s very sturdy. Nothing wobbles, even when the cat is playing and jumping on it. At first, my cat didn’t know what to do with the steps. But after just a few practice sessions with treats, she now goes up and down them with ease. I’m absolutely delighted and glad I bought it!

Great cat tree
The assembly was a bit tricky on my own, but doable. The scratching post is very sturdy, and the materials used seem durable. 1 star deducted due to the lack of colour options.

Beautiful, very sturdy and stylish senior cat tree, especially suitable for two cats.
A Christmas gift that brought happiness to the cats and the whole family.
Definitely worth the high price 👍
Thanks to Zooplus for the quick delivery.

Trunks covered with plush
Pretty and functional. Unfortunately, some of the posts are covered in fabric. What the cats did to them is obvious to everyone, isn't it? Considering the price, I'm quite dissatisfied. However, the cats do like it. So, despite the glaring flaw, 3 stars.

Lots of space
Our "mice" absolutely love this cat tree and enjoy using it both for sleeping and playing.

Super scratching post
Our cat loves her new scratching post. At first, it took her a little while to figure out how to climb up the steps, but with a few treats, it worked out well. Since then, the scratching post has become our cat's favourite spot.
Build it from top to bottom.

Not very suitable for seniors.
The scratching post is well-made and looks nice too. However, I think it’s not really suitable for senior cats. The steps/platforms are a good idea, but they’re not actually helpful for reaching the top resting spots. Probably quite good for kittens though. Still giving it 4 stars because the scratching post itself is good.

Excellent
Excellent cat tree. My cat enjoys lying on the middle platform, and sometimes sleeping on the top bed. She climbs down carefully using the steps - it is lovely to watch.

Very sturdy, easy to clean, perfect for deep windows
This cat tree is simply amazing! We have a deep living room window, and the cat tree is placed in front of it. The cats love lying on the "heavenly bed" and watching the cold weather from their cosy spot. The large middle section is also a popular chill-out area.
I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone who has a deep window for a great view. Value for money: 5☆

Sturdy
I needed a reasonably sized but sturdy cat tree for our old boy. I saw this appeared to fit the bill and assembling it was pretty easy. Just a couple of minor points that I noted. The bolts need to be more clearly marked and one of them was the wrong length.. The unit needs to be built from the top down not the bottom up. This should have been highlighted better. Apart from that it is great and was used straight away. Highly recommended by me and the cats.

Great value for money!
Delivery was super fast.
It's best to assemble it with two people! I did it alone and it took me 40 minutes. The cat tree has a bit of a "new" smell, but not like glue. It's very sturdy and looks great. I sprayed the play balls with a bit of catnip, and Bella explored it right away. She uses the steps too, but sometimes she just jumps straight onto the platforms. If the small columns were also wrapped in sisal and there was a choice of colours, I would give it 5 stars!

Absolutely Amazing
I was looking for a cat tree for my cat who is not able to redress her balance, so that she cannot walk, climb or jump properly.
This is such an amazing product, very sturdy and well thought of. Distance between the layers allow her to climb safely and without any overwhelming effort. My cat learnt how to climb just in a day and now enjoying the outside view.

Senior Cat Tree
My tomcat is already 18 years old, and I thought I’d do something nice for him (regarding the steps to the basket) by buying this scratching post. But my cat had a different opinion! At first, he completely avoided it for weeks until I gave it a little help with valerian spray. However, he absolutely ignores the steps!!! He just jumps straight up. At least the scratching post is now being used regularly. The workmanship is good, but the cave is far too small (used for storing toys).

Really pretty and very sturdy
The tree has to be assembled from top to bottom. The upper platform is connected to the lower trunk using a long connecting piece. The connecting piece is marked, and during assembly, the longer part needs to be screwed into the trunk. This way, nothing sticks out. My older cat immediately claimed the tree for herself and is now happily padding up the steps to her new little bed. The tree doesn’t smell at all and is absolutely stable. My cat is thrilled. :o)

Meh 👍👎
The scratching post itself is great, my cats love it, buuuut the fabric on the thin columns started coming off after just the second time they scratched it. Those should have been wrapped with sisal as well. I only bought it a few weeks ago 😟

Super scratching post
Already buying the second one, as our cat uses this scratching post intensively. Only the edging around the lying surfaces doesn’t hold up long-term to our tomcat leaning against it.

Satisfied after tutoring
Overall, I quite like the scratching post; it has plenty of levels for our older cat, which she now uses all the time. The only thing I don’t like about the post is the rather large, slightly protruding screw at the top under the cushion. My cat can feel it, even through the (thin) cushion, and always lies around it.
Additionally, the top part of the scratching post became loose and wobbly after just a month. As a result, we had to add three long screws ourselves.

Good for older cats
Very good tree, but the lower cave is far too small for normal cats. Such a shame.

Senior scratching tree
The scratching post is perfect for our 13-year-old cat lady. It’s the right height, so she loves lying and sleeping on the top level. Plus, she can get up there without any trouble, as she’s not too keen on jumping anymore.
And since our Maja isn’t the slimmest cat—which is partly due to her breed—she still has plenty of space.
The only downside was the assembly. I put it together on my own and it took me 1.5 hours.
I should really deduct a star for that.
