Frisco 72-in Large Base Faux Fur Cat Tree & Condo

I got that stimmy money earlier this week and knew I was going to spend it on a cat tree for my two cats. One of them (9 mo) likes to get up to high areas and recently figured out how to get on top of the kitchen cabinets, so I knew I’d have to get a high one. I live in an apartment, so space is tight, so I made sure to look at the measurements and saw it would fit perfectly in the corner of our living room (it does!). It got here really quickly without any damage. The package is pretty heavy (70 lbs) so make sure you know that before having to carry it up 3 sets of stairs like me lol . Other than the weigh though, this tree is so perfect!!! i sprinkled cat nip all over it and my cats were up I got that stimmy money earlier this week and knew I was going to spend it on a cat tree for my two cats.

Even my older cat (11 yo) that doesn’t really climb anything claimed the top square as his own :) Highly recommend … more

This is a great tower overall! It is true to size and all 3 of my cats love it! The only issue I have is, even though the material is soft and great, it is not cat claw durable. Takes nothing for the cats to claw through it, then it starts looking very ugly. It also collects the cat fur like crazy and looks gross, so after it becomes too torn to vacuum bcuz the cats have tore it up, then I can no longer vacuum it and have to throw away and order a new one. This is our second one. The first lasted overall a year with 3 cats.

I can't find a single negative thing to say about this cat tree. My cat started putting it to good use before I was even halfway done putting it together. She's used every single part except for the diagonal scratch posts. Very soft and comfy, very sturdy and very stable. I just put it in the corner of the room, so there was no need to anchor it to the wall or anything. Also a very convenient place to put her food where my dog can't get reach it. :-) I should also mention the instructions were quite clear and all the parts clearly labeled. Honestly, if I can put it together easily, a potted plant probably could, too.

So, I bought this hoping it would be a dupe of the Amarkat tree I've purchased 3 times in a row. It's fine, but really doesn't even come close. Here are my gripes: 1) The perches are a little smaller. 2) The condo cubbies are a LOT smaller. Not one of my cats has lain inside. 3) The ramps are useless. I've tried everything to get my cats to notice them, I've used catnip, scratched the woven material so they would hear the sound, even resorted to setting one on it, and...nothing. Useless, I tell you. 4) The instructions have you attach the first ramp as you move to the next level, in that you're building from the bottom up. Which you'd think would be fine (as I did), but then as I continued So, I bought this hoping it would be a dupe of the Amarkat tree I've purchased 3 times in a row.

Which you'd think would be fine (as I did), but then as I continued attaching the other parts, and moving around to tighten the screws with the allen wrench, I literally tripped on the ramp and fell sideways onto the large box from which I'd recently removed the parts, crushed the box, bruised the top of one foot quite badly, and also scratched my arm on the sisal posts that were yet unattached. It sounds funny now, but it was painful, so much so that I put "write to Chewy about the Frisco ramps" on my to-do list. Ummm...that isn't something I'd normally do, so take it however you choose. The tree is....fine. The ONE thing that I did like was that the inside of the condos didn't have any material inside, it was just the raw processed press board, which would prevent a need to collect cat hair from it. But that's it. I really really wish I'd gotten the Armarkat. … more

I typically purchase the real wood and carpeted scratch posts but they are cumbersome to get home. This ships right to your door. Obviously assembly is required. I was able to put it together myself. With limited directions some of it involved trial and error. My 3 cats don't use it for scratching as much as they do sleeping. If it holds up for a couple of years I'd be happy. Good for multicat home.

I was very picky because I really needed something that would entertain our large (heavy) cat to keep him off everything (tables, shelves, electronics etc.) in the bedroom while I watch TV or sleep. It is very solidly built (and desirably heavy) . With it’s large base it is very stable even when he is on the top platforms. I thought something was missing or defective because it took me several days to figure out how to attach the top part of the upper scratching board (number 9) parts D & E to 1PC platform 4. The threaded hole was right there where it should’ve been but I did not see it. The funny thing is the tree would not have fit where I had intended to put it but it turned out to a perfect I was very picky because I really needed something that would entertain our large (heavy) cat to keep him off everything (tables, shelves, electronics etc.) in the bedroom while I watch TV or sleep.

It is as if it was designed specifically for my application. Nothing is ever perfect and I’m sure I will discover things that could have been better but I am really, really glad that I bought this 72 inch large base Cat Tree and Condo. … more

I'm glad this is the one I stuck with, it is great & my cat loves it. Its heavy and made of a very strong wood. Its built to last. Shipping was so fast, I ordered it one morning and it was at my door the next day. The box was so heavy I barely got it threw the door. I had it put together in a hour, it comes with the little hex tool to put together as is but if u have a drill with the octagon shaped extension it will make putting it together alot easier and save your thumb alot of pain from turning the little tool so much. My cat is so happy.

This was sturdy and I have two cats approximately 14 pounds that it handles with no stability issues at all. Assembly was easy. The extra pieces mentioned in other reviews is the optional wall anchor pieces, it’s in the instructions. I really like the Sherpa type upholstery, the cats grip it to crawl and play with ease. I also appreciate the abundant scratch post material on the beams. It’s been about 5 weeks of serious cat appreciation and I have no concerns that it will hold up for a long time to come.

This is my second cat tree for my two kittens and they are loving this additional height compared to their other one. They are having so much fun playing and sleeping on it. It's also very sturdy. We placed it by our slider glass door facing the back yard. I can't wait until it gets warm and they can watch the birds all day.

I was disappointed; I thought I was buying the exact same tree I bought three years ago. That part is my fault. This tree is covered in faux fur that is super thin. I can feel the sharp edge of the wood underneath without even trying. I put folder up sheets on the perches for my cat. The carpet on the one I bought three years ago was much thicker. Zero stars for the thinness. Also, the second platform sticks out about 5 inches further from the other platforms and sides of the tree. My old tree would sit right next to the cat litter box, but now it won't because of this extra length and I'm going to have to saw it off to match up with the other levels.

Other than those huge disappointments, the tree if very sturdy and it was relatively easy to put together. I would return it if I had noticed the extra length on the second platform, but now that it's all together, it's going to be way easier to just saw that off and somehow add some permanent cushion to the perches. … more
