Armarkat 54-in Wooden Cat Tree & Condo

Purchased this tree for my office and the 2 cats love it. I placed a bed on the big shelf but they love the sling on top and the "fort". Both came with very soft material for the bedding and they seem to like it. Wood is not painted or treated which is fine with me. It is clean and they love it.

I looked through so many different cat condos before I found this one, and I'm so glad I purchased it! My cat absolutely loves it. I customized it by making little mats to go on each level (the wood was a little to slick for him so I wanted something he could grab onto a little easier) and I moved the hammock to the other side of the top perch so that it would be over something and not floating off to the side. As soon as I put it together he immediately went into the bed. I used treats to get him to climb at first, but within a few hours he went up to the hammock by himself to nap which was a great achievement given that he hasn't cared about any of the other beds I've bought him so far.

I love the sleek clean lines! It is sturdy, wide base and perfect height (54") The wood is easy to clean, doesnt collect dust and is cool for the Florida climate! It was extremely easy to assemble. Very happy with it!

For more scratching surface and comfort for cat lounging, I added replaceable sisal scratch mats on floor level and 3rd level platforms. For floor level, a 12" x 16" mat fit nicely. For 3rd level, the SmartyKat Clever Claws Triple Panel Folded Hanging Cat Scratch Mat (unfolded), 21" x 18", fit well. I sewed Velcro ("hook" or rough side) on four corners of mats. The "loop" or fuzzy side of Velcro I attached to platforms with staple gun. One of my cats is an "early adopter" and started using this cat tree/condo right away. For my other cat, who needed a longer warm up period, I'm using catnip and hanging cat toys from the sisal posts using cut up old panty hose.

Panty hose is great for this purpose because it's springy, doesn't easily shred, and has your foot scent on it (for those cats that love to hunt socks!). I'm also using Feliway spray and cat treats in the cave part to encourage my shy cat to enter it. I started using Feliway "Feliscratch" pipettes to encourage my shy cat to scratch on the posts. She's definitely interested and rubbed against the posts on first use. Feliway spray contains a different cat pheromone from Feliscratch, so they aren't interchangeable. … more

This cat tree is amazing. It is VERY sturdy (minus the very top but only if you have a super fat cat) and it is super easy to put together. It took me like 15 minutes to put together and it looks amazing in the corner of my house. Also my cat loves it. Nice looking and a good price?? Honestly, I spent hours looking for the perfect cat tree so save your time, this is it!

I’ve had this cat tree for 3 month and none of the cats use it. I thought it would be great not to have carpet on it that would be hard to replace but the kitties just hate it. I will have to buy another cat tree. No ide what to do with this one.

I was expecting a lot of teeth gnashing when I put this together, but it was, surprisingly, the most easily assembled piece of furniture I've ever bought. I wanted a cat tree that was wood and pretty bare bones so I could put on my own cloth covers that could be removed and cleaned, so this works great. My cats like the hiding place and the hammock.

My daughter has had one of these cat trees for about a year. I decided to get one (on sale was an added bonus) and the cats love it. Totally a new view to the outside!

The boys couldn’t wait until I finish their tower. It pretty sturdy. Zuko loved the hammock. Heathcliff like the box.

The rope wrapped around the uprights is more sturdy than the previous one we had, and they seem a little more stable. The bare pine LOOKS really nice but he’s now not interested in hanging out on this one. The “hammock” thing at the very top doesn’t hold him so he won’t get in it. That part would be great for a kitten or smaller cat, not for larger breeds (Maine coon, Savannah, etc) even though the description of this model says it overall can hold 60lbs. I will try to find a way to modify it maybe, as well as add some kind of comfy material or bed to the main platform. One nice thing is that the middle platform (next to the hexagonal condo) can be turned around, bumping right up against the The rope wrapped around the uprights is more sturdy than the previous one we had, and they seem a little more stable.
