Frisco Modern Round Elevated Cat Bed

I read lots of reviews on this beautiful looking, modern-esque piece of cat furniture. The first ones to come up are mainly negative sentiments: “it stinks and my cat won’t go near it” I immediately thought gross, that’s totally a thing that would happen and my cat wasn’t going to like it. After checking for other options I landed back on this and pulled the trigger. Quick turn around, easy assembly, slight smell, but only in the sense of everything ever manufactured has “new” smell. Anyways, the cat bed is great, all of my cats adore it without question, and I think some people just have stupid cats. My cats even choose it over this amazing wicker bed.

Finally something they love to be in more than the Chewy boxes! Out of five cats, four were in the bed within five minutes of taking it out of the box. I’ve never found something they’ve been so interested in. Well worth the money. I will say this… if you notice in the photo the leg has a number 2 sticker on it. I feel like the stickers that indicate what legs are vs what screws and bed platform are a waste of time for Chewy and a pain in the rear for the consumer. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like they were put on with permanent wood glue. They will eventually be removed, but for now, the kitties are learning to count… by twos.

I purchased this for our new cat that our son brought to us. He couldn't keep her any longer because he married a nice lady with a child that was allergic to cats. She doesn't like sleeping on the floor so I thought this would be a great option for her. Well I was wrong. This comes with a little pillow in it but even with the pillow it is really hard to lay in. You can feel everything through the little mat. So I found a thicker mat. Still she wouldn't lay in it. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats and none would lay in it. I took it to the shelter with me when I went to volunteer so at least the kitties can have something besides the ground to lay on.

So I cleaned it up and put it with the new puppies at the shelter to try. Mind you this is a brand new item. No animal will try it. Oh well. Everyone at the shelter tried everything to get at least one animal to at least try it. None liked it. … more

The bed arrived in a timely manner. Easily put together. No missing or defective parts. Both boys definitely did not like the stringy fake fur covered cushion. I tried flipping over the inside cushion and tucking in the stringy fake fur and there was definitely more interest. Though the bed was meant for my Siberian Forest, my Abyssinian/Rag Doll also gave it a try. Both big boys love the fake Sherpa fabric pieces I picked up at the local fabric shop months earlier and I put one piece into the bed. After that it was nothing but purrr love. They can knead the fake Sherpa and push it around to get comfortable (the Sherpa just by chance matches the gray of the bed perfectly) and when needed is easily The bed arrived in a timely manner.

Seeing that the boys take turns sleeping in the stylish Christmas present I just ordered a second one. Now each will have a bed with a matching fake Sherpa. Despite my boy’s large sizes they still manage to get curled up together in the current bed together occasionally; that would be about 34 pounds of cat in the bed. The bed remains sturdy and has held up very well to-date. I am still pleasantly surprised they both are so happy with the bed and I can slowly remove the many cardboard boxes from my small condo. A “win” for all of us. … more

I have ordered 2 Frisco cat beds, this one and a tunnel. This one arrived without the cushion. The tunnel bed came a week later and is missing hardware. To Chewy's credit, they replaced the first bed with one having all it's components. It even arrived before the tunnel bed did. So Chewy is awesome, but Frisco is very sloppy. This model is put together now and my cats, while initially unimpressed now take turns sleeping in it. It looks nice, too, There are little non-skid rubber for the legs, but those just fall off. And the tunnel bed is just sitting in my living room as a pile of pieces. So if you must, take your chances, but be prepared for disappointment..

My kitty loves this bed. She watched me put it together and then jumped right in once I finished putting it together. It's the perfect height because she loves to jump into it. She likes the flat side better than the furry side. I would highly recommend purchasing this bed.

This is a good height to get off the cold floor, size is large enough for a big cat to sleep in, and soft, but not too squishy. Unfortunately, the SMELL is awful! I thought if I let it air out for a day or two, it would be fine. Then I thought if I sprayed it with Febreeze and let it air out it would be acceptable. That warehouse, chemical, whatever the smell is will not go away! This should not have been sold with that smell. The person packing it must have smelled it. I wish quality control would have interrupted this sale. It would be a perfect cat seat for my girls, but they will not go near it. Since I sprayed it will Febreeze, I can't return it.

It's extremely disappointing not just because of the money, but also because it was just what I was looking for. Sadly, I can not recommend this product. … more

When I saw this I wondered if it would fit my boy. I tried looking for size of cats but didn't find it. Remy is 15lbs and he loved it from day 1. Would definitely buy again.

I bought this as a gift for my sister's cat, Cricket. It actually took him a couple days to accept the fact that it is a bed - he was used to the "flat on the floor" style bed. Once he decided that he could settle down in it, however, the problem my sister faces is getting him back out! He loves his new bed. This is a terrific, very attractive bed; the legs go on easily; and, it is a good product for the price.

This bed is absolutely adorable and since my cat loves different cat beds I thought she would love it. Unfortunately she wont even use it! Very easy to put together, but now I don't know what to do with it :(
