Trixie Wall Mounted Cat Furniture - 4pc Cat Wall Scratcher - Climbing Shelves, Plush & Sisal Covered Condo, Hammock, and 2-Steps - Gray

My cats love! My cats use daily! Easy to assemble! Sizes are bigger than expected. Sturdy! Soft! My cats do not scratch at the beds.

First of all-these are heavy! I dont consider that a bad thing. Means its not cheap cardboard or poly something pretending to be solid. The oval cat bed with the hole is dang near the weight of an entire cat tree all by itself. Again-Quality! However that means that in my old house with old drywall I needed to use some serious drywall anchors and screws to keep the stuff up with its weight and the cats weight. Not a problem for me but something to be aware of.The kitten is all over this and usually when we can't find her she is in the cat bed. The grey cat prefers the swing. So much so it didnt even make it onto the wall before she was claiming it. After the wall placement? Yeah now kitten and grey cat argue over it.The other thing I discovered is the templet they provide for the hardware spacing on the walls has directions for studs that are either 12" apart or 16" apart as is most common in houses. Guess what my house has? Studs 20" apart. Of course it does. So I was able to adapt, but the makers of this really are not kidding when they say to anchor these in studs. If you have an older house like me then you may have to get creative with making sure they really are secure.The while fluff is oh so soft! You just want to pet it. The blue stuff is rougher-consistent with cat tree rope. Not a bad thing since it gives them purchase as well as claw sharpening usefulness.Overall this is a high quality, heavy and well made set. I purchased a second wall set with more items from another manufacturer at the same price point and the difference is quality is night and day. This is a great, well made set.

So. These are huge. I did not put the house up on the wall. It's on the floor.Here was my issue. My studs are 24 incs apart, so I had to to use one stud to mount. And the spacing is a bit crazy. I did not want to mount in the dry wall.My cat is 3 years old, and he has rules. Climbing is a no no in my house. So he hasn't figured out how to use this yet. I am hoping he does learn. I can place him in the hammock and he'll hang for a bit.

My husband was watching football and didn't want to do anything but that ... meanwhile, I *really* wanted to get this catnasium put up for Yoshi. So my hub offered me $200 cash if I actually pulled off hanging it myself! SHEEEEEEEEET, OKAY!!!!Now, I'm not an architect or a carpenter and really can't even hang a small picture properly.. but I also don't like backing down from a challenge.It's helpful that the pieces easily cover where you make drill holes, looking for a stud 😂The directions are NOT great, but I laid out all of the pieces in group piles - then used different colored hilighters to give each group of pieces it's own color - then highlighted each corresponding piece on the directions and that made it a whole lot easier for me.Tip: the directions made a mistake and flipped the bolts for the hammock and the cave. The shorter ones are for the cave and the longer are for the hammock.I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY THIS FOR YOUR KITTY(IES) because the price point is reasonable and they will LOVE IT!! Mine was playing on it before I even got it up and now he hangs out on it for several hours each day. Just make sure that you get each piece into at least one stud - that's really important. 😊 trust me, if I can hang this then ANYONE can!

These shelves are nicer quality than expected. But it was not that easy to install. The new construction in the building I live in made it so I could not find studs to be able to secure the large cat cave (I call it). Even with a stud finder, the ones I found were in the wrong place and were spaced apart enough to not be able to secure it properly.In the pic you can see instead I have it resting on top of an entertainment center. To make sure it doesn't slide or rock, I put two wedges on either side with nonskid material under it.The hammock shelf was somewhat difficult to install, but I finally got it. I recommend pulling the hooks slightly so they slide on the braces easier. Also I secured one brace to the hammock and pressed it against the other side without it being fastened. This left an impression on the back in the material so I knew exactly where to fasten it to the back.On the other hand, the two posts were easy to install and are the sturdiest of the group.Overall I am pleased with the way they came out. And the important thing, as you can see by the pic, one of my cats has her head poking out of the cat cave. No sooner had I finished hanging the posts and the hammock shelf did she make her way up there. So it is cat approved!

My cats LOVE this set!! One of them has chosen the hammock as her official bed; she sleeps the whole night in it (I'm only a little sad about the loss of cuddles). The other is an expert climber and really enjoys the scratchy material on the posts and the egg-shaped piece. Both of my cats weigh about 9.5-10.5 pounds and I have no concerns with their safety or the safety of my walls when they jump on and off.I saw a lot of reviews recommend using different screws rather than the ones that come with the set, so I purchased some construction screws and haven't had any problems. The instructions are a bit vague but no worse than Ikea furniture.My main complaint was mounting the brackets onto the hammock. I appreciate that they're not pre-attached so you can set them to fit your stud distance, but it was a little challenging drilling into the hammock support because it's covered in carpet/fabric. I didn't feel like I was able to measure accurately because the drill pulled at the fabric a little, but I got it mounted securely eventually. It definitely wasn't anything that would cause me to not recommend this item.For the price, you absolutely cannot beat this! The individual pieces are sturdy and the overall look is very attractive. I've already sent this link to a few friends.
