Trixie Lounger Wall Mounted Cat Shelves

Flavius is a big boy - 16lbs. He has used this set daily for three years. When I moved recently I decided not to bring it with - it was getting pretty dingy and worn from all the use. Big mistake. Even though he has a giant tower and wall shelves, he clearly missed his hammock and kitty cave. Because of his weight I have to do a little reinforcing to make sure it stays on the wall but totally worth it. He kept trying to jump into the hammock while it was being installed.

I/my kitties received this set as a gift and my 2 younger cats LOVED it. After about 6 months, the back board on the hammock unfortunately cracked right next to where the post screws in. The manufacturer honored the 1 year warranty and sent a whole new set (lucky kitties!). The second hammock lasted another 6 months until cracking in the same area and falling off my wall. The wrapping and white fuzz on the various pieces has worn rather quickly over time; the included hardware is not heavy-duty, so you might want to buy better if you have chunky kitties.

So, I'm pretty good around the house but am by no means a pro DIYer or handywoman. In fact, I bought my first stud finder and power drill for this project. The instructions were made so they were universal...no language necessary. They're SLIGHTLY confusing the first time you study them. After that, you should have no problem figuring it out. Ignore what people are saying and take a few min to figure it out. You can do it. I'm also not sure how people are breaking the screws? I think they didn't use a stud finder and broke their walls. That being said, I'm so glad that I ignored the negative reviews and gave it a shot. It took me a long time, but only because I'm new at playing with So, I'm pretty good around the house but am by no means a pro DIYer or handywoman.

It took me a long time, but only because I'm new at playing with studs and drills, my wall space is limited with a lot of live wiring, and I was nervous. I love that it looks nice and clean on my white wall and my cats were all over it before I had even finished! Great purchase! Just go slow and quadruple check your studs! Also, for me, the hammock was the most difficult piece. I'm glad I started at the top with the hardest piece and worked my way down toward the floor. … more

My fur son Marlo LOVES this wall mount. He spends most of the day on the wall watching his dog brothers from up above! Please excuse the mess, Marlo couldn't wait to try it out so we left someone boxes and pillows out . Five stars. Ps the other wall mount is all from the same brand.

I was nervous to get this with some of the reviews but honestly it’s pretty sturdy and great. I agree you need 2 people (which the instructions mention) and a power drill/bits. The only super tricky part to install was the hammock. We have 16in studs and it didn’t work well with where the metal screws are on the back. You need to put one of the metal backings on top of the screw so it’s not as snug to the wall and I would like. This that being said, the 2in screws are very well secured in the studs so I know it’s not going anywhere. My cats are also heavier (about 14-15lb) than the recommended weight (12lb) and it’s still super sturdy. They were hesitant to use the little jump poles (for lack I was nervous to get this with some of the reviews but honestly it’s pretty sturdy and great.

They were hesitant to use the little jump poles (for lack of a better word) but after 20min they figured it out. The hideaway space is spacious with a nice pillow on the inside and the hammock is spacious and soft as well. All 3 love it. They love it so much, I purchased 2 more of the trixie wall mounted cat shelves. We’ll see how the installation of those go because the distance only allows 1 side to be screwed into a stud and the other side has a dry wall anchor. Fingers crossed it doesn’t rip out my dry wall. … more

I give the instructions 2 stars, and 4 stars for ease of installation. My cats don’t care about any of that and gave it 5 stars. Hint: long thread brackets=steps, short thread brackets and nuts=cubby, pic frame hangers and bolts=hammock.

I've owned this for 4 months, it's been in use for 3 months, and it's completely falling apart. My cat LOVES it, but i'm not sure he's safe in it anymore, so I'm having to take it down. Prayerfully they sell replacement parts.

We had shopped for this type of cat wall system and most are hundreds of dollars. So when we saw the price we figured we'd give it a try. The quality of the build and materials used to make these is really great. Super soft and fuzzy which any cat would love. With in moments all three of our cats were curious and wanted in the little hideaway module. They love it.. We love it.

Our cats love this thing! Took them a minute to get used to the two steps leading up to the hammock but our kitten has officially claimed it. The instructions were a bit confusing but once you figure it out it’s really to hang.

Thought this was gonna be awesome, but it’s super flimsy. My cats won’t go on the hammock part at all because they don’t trust it- and one of the cats is pretty small so it would definitely hold her. The house part is the only one they like. If they sold that piece alone, then it would be an okay buy, but spending this much on all 4 pieces when only 1 is good, not worth it!
