Gardner Pet 65in Cat Tree with 3.23in Posts Heavy Duty Cat Tower, Gray

So far so good. It was pretty easy to put together. All the parts were there, nothing missing. It took probably 30 minutes. My little cat, "El Gato" (cat in Spanish) is a little skiddish even though she's had a perfect life for the past 6 years with us. She is a rescue cat though, but we got her very young. Found in a parking lot....anyway:

She is very slow to warm up to things. These pictures are of the first hour after putting it together. She loves the little enclosed box. I'll probably drill a hole in the back and put a cat warming padded bed in there for her and run the cord out the back. She sleeps in a little cat warmer bed and she loves that. So this being enclosed and warm will be her new favorite place, I bet.

So far she hasn't gone all the way to the top, but I've learned to just let her do it on her own time. So far she's gone to level 2 out of 4 and spent most of the time in the box.

It seems like a great cat tree. I didn't use the strap where you have to drill it to your wall. I just put a 30 lbs weight on the bottom and it's stable enough with that. I'm not a huge fan of drilling into my walls. I have it in front of a window anyway.

Overall I am happy with this product and more importantly my cat likes it also. I'm honestly, shocked she had anything to do with it so soon. That's a very good sign.

She's a snowshoe and they like high places, so I'm sure she will make he way all the way up to the top soon.

I would recommend this for someone that spoils their cats, lol.

Great purchase! Very sturdy! Our new kitten loves it!

Company is really customer service oriented. They reached out to me to resolve the difficulty my cats experienced. In today's world, having customer service is the ultimate, thank you! It is a nice cat condo, but cats do have difficulty getting to the top from the immediate shelf below, the platform needs to be wider. I do not have all big cats using this (6 small), my big boys tend avoid these mass produced cat condos but will use custom sturdy units. Again, good for smaller cats, platform below top shelf should be wider (have had cats fall trying to get off the top to the shelf below). Thanks for reading

The cats love this tree. They climb it and sleep on it.

I am quite impressed with this cat tree. It is very big and strong, perfect for my large cats. It was easy to assemble by following the provided instructions. It is heavy and 65 inches tall that has many levels, so my cats can climb and play. The sisal scratching posts are replaceable, which is good because my cats use them a lot, especially the top most level. They love the hammock and the extra-large platform and condo for sleeping. It looks nice in my living room, and I can watch my cats even from outside my place through the window. Overall, highly recommended.

This Gardner cat tree arrived well-packed with all the necessary parts, hardware (including an allen wrench), and assembly instructions. The pieces are solid, making this a fairly heavy tree. It even includes a wall strap on one of the middle sections for added stability��good for preventing accidental tipping.

I started assembling it for the two feral cats living in our garage, but since it was getting heavy, I decided to finish once we move it to its final spot. It��s tall, featuring four levels that jut out like steps. I briefly considered rearranging the levels but kept the original design, as moving the box (which juts out the most) to a higher level might make the tree less stable. Assembly is fairly straightforward, though the enclosed box section is trickier since the support posts are inside, making it harder to align the screws from the outside. The instructions could also be easier to read��the font and illustrations are quite small.

I'm looking forward to moving this tree into the garage and watching the cats explore their new hangout!

My Maine Coon loves this. Finally a big perch he can lay on safely!

Very sturdy

Our cats love this and it was easy to assemble!

Nice for the price, but slightly unsturdy.

Well made, looks great, cats love it! Both cats love the height and have enjoyed each feature-- the scratching posts, the 'condo,' the 'hammocks'-- all popular! It does need to be against a wall or use the safety strap to keep it stable, but a super cat tree!

This cat tree is great for cats of all sizes. It is extremely gratifying to see our rather tubby cat get excited about climbing and scratching, and I hope it helps inspire him to move more. Everyone loves the bottom hideout and the sisal scratching poles and the dangling ball toy and the top of the tower; no one has braved the small bowl-shaped pods . . . yet. Instructions seemed daunting at first but once you start, they make sense; this was built in under an hour (and under cat supervision; they seemed to know this was for them). To improve stability, I added a few weights to the bottom (some kettle bells are finally getting used; bonus!), and that seems to work well. This is fun cat furniture that encourages more movement and play and gives them some great spots for viewing their kingdom (it's really tall).

I have two very big kitties and most cat towers are very wobbly whenever they get on it. NOT THIS ONE! This thing is a beast. It is very stable, even without screwing the back onto the wall. My kitties love the hammocks and especially the bed on the very top. It looks very sleek. The only thing my cats don't love are the scratching posts because they are not made of the typical rope used for scratching posts, but rather a similar textured, continuous wrap. Assembly was a bit tricky because one of the screws would not go in all the way no matter how hard we tried. It sticks out a bit but it's in the back and you can't tell. Other than that, great quality and it looks great.

Easy to put together. Cat absolutely loves it

These are great cat trees, very sturdy and good quality, the top shelf is nice and big which is not easy to find. They don't have all the bells and whistles as many of the others, and I tried and returned 6 before settling on these! I took off the side baskets because they were pretty much useless for my cats because they're too big! I bought 2, one for my active boys and one for my senior girls, which I altered by attaching the big cubby to the bottom base so my 16 year old can reach it and I took out one of the tiers to make it shorter because my nervous girl is too afraid to go up high. Very happy with my purchases ??
