Cat Tree Model B7801, Alabaster, 32"(L)X27"(W)X78"(H)

My wife found a nearly dead little kitten (the size of a hamster at the time...) all alone under a car. The vet said it wouldn't live. It did. Now the Kat needs a Kondo. (Lucky dog...) I will post pictures later, but we just received and built this cat tree today, and I wanted to post an immediate comment on the product. We spent a couple of weeks shopping all the various sites and reading reviews, and FINALLY decided on this one. The value for the money is excellent. The product was delivered very quickly and was packaged well. The color is kind of a creme. The two little "cat houses" are already built for you, all you have to do is screw the posts to the platform, and then the houses to the platforms, then attach the perches. The design is well thought out and the construction is sturdy. The directions were excellent. They obviously have read the feedback and fixed the problems mentioned in previous reviews. All the parts have little stickers on them for identification. It took me just under an hour, and I took my time... I oriented the house the way it is in the directions as I built it (I'm spatially challenged :). Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a decent hex wrench. The one provided is adequate, but I found it really helpful to have the leverage of a good wrench to torque the bolts into place. Be very careful to get the bolts started correctly. There is carpet all around the holes for the bolts and a stray carpet fiber could cause you to get the bolt started improperly and strip it. Pay attention to the lengths of the bolts and their placement, and it's a snap to put together. I built the bottom part first, as they suggest in the directions. I found it easier to put it on my dining room table to begin with so I wasn't stooping over, especially to tighten the bottom posts to the platform. After you have the first level done, you can then put it on the floor before it is very heavy. DON'T build the thing on its' side and then try to tilt it up, you will trash it! I don't want to give the impression that this is not built well, it is! But it is also tall and the bolts aren't meant to have lateral pressure put on them... The quality of the hardware is quite good, and I was able to tighten the bolts very tight without having any of the bolts strip or having the heads strip-out on them. The fit and finish of the other parts is excellent. The covering is very well attached and wraps nicely around the edges. The finished product feels very sturdy and looks very nice. The general design for the cat's usage is well thought out. The spacing between the platforms is just right. I took one user's suggestion and flipped the platform that the ladder rests on around, so that the longer part is inward-toward the house. This makes it a little more stable, but also gives the a cat a place to sit under the ladder. My cat seems to like this. The top of the lower house is right at the bottom sill of our window (just over 33" from the floor), purrfect sun-deck for watching birdies. The cat took to it's Killer Condo right away and is sleeping right now in the lower house. We are looking around for another rescue kitty to give it a "roomie". I'm very impressed with this product. There is a ton of crap out there. I have bought my fair share, lured by price or clever marketing. This is not that. It is very sturdy and designed well. I consider the bang for the buck to be quite high. I would not hesitate at all to buy again from Armacat, and I highly recommend this product. Cheers!

I've had this cat tree (Armarkat Cat Tree Model B7701, Ivory) since July 2016. I have 3 cats and they all love it. I had a cat tree prior to this one but the fabric that covered the platforms was very slick and my cats didn't care for it and never used it. I got this Armarkat Cat Tree because of the good reviews and it was an immediate success. It has a lot of parts because of all the tiers but it was pretty straightforward and easy to assemble which I did by myself. The fabric is thick and the kind that cats love to scratch but is still soft. It gets frequent daily use. They scratch on it, play on it, and sleep on it. It is very sturdy. It's also nice and tall so the cats sit at the top and love to look down at everything going on around them. Nothing has ever broken except the dangle toys. The toys were such a hit that the cats eventually just chewed through the little elastic cord but that's not why I bought the tree. My cats are finally starting to wear through the fabric in some areas but it's just starting to thin out and is still holding up. Since my cats are constantly running up and down it, I will occasionally have to tighten down the bolts which loosen over time but not a big deal, and, again, it has never come apart or ever failed. The only unfortunate thing is that this tree has doubled in price since I bought it. I suppose that's what happens when you have this kind of inflation but it is a shame it is so expensive now. It was very reasonably priced before and now, not so much. That being said, if you are willing to pay the money, you will get a high-quality cat tree that will last you many years. The picture I included I just took so this is what it looks like now after 7 years of heavy use.

First few thoughts about this cat tree: - Unbelievably easy to assemble. I was so nervous that this was going to be a difficult task but the directions and pre-engineering that goes into the assembly process are very easy to understand and follow. It took me about 30 minutes and I did it alone. I had to use a step ladder for the top parts of the tree because it's very tall and I couldn't reach it. You are supposed to assemble the tree vertically so you can't lay it on its side to assemble it. - The tree is well made. This was probably my biggest overall concern. It's hard to trust reviews sometimes and I couldn't get my hands on any of the materials before hand and this thing isn't exactly cheap or lightweight so returning it would be more trouble than it's worth. The boards, posts, and fabric all feel very nice and sturdy. - It looks presentable. I was also worried that the tree would be "ugly" out of the box and just an eyesore in my house. The featured photos for the tree are identical to how it looks in real life (speaking for the B7701 model). It is very clean and appealing to the eye even if it just is cat furniture. - My cats love it. Honestly, I knew they would love a big tree like this so I wasn't worried. Several of the reviews mention they couldn't keep their cats off it even while they were assembling it and the same goes for me. My cats were already playing all over it before it was even together. I have two cats and one is a tiny bit chubby and one is average size. Both fit on it and inside the enclosed areas well and have no fear tearing up the thing like wild banshees. Final notes: The smell is that of plywood initially but it goes away fast so no worries about odor-sensitive cats. I assumed I'd be able to smell the adhesive for the carpet-like material but I never did. A little extra padding or comfy stuff in the enclosed areas would be a bonus but nothing to really complain about in that regard. The "toys" it comes with are just a big puff ball on a piece of elastic cord but my cats also fell in love with those too so I still can't find anything to whine about regarding this tree. Worth every penny.

I had a cheaper cat tree before but it didn't last long. This one is prettier than the picture and it's worth it.

My cats are in love with this tree. It is huge and they spend most nights on the top shelves. They are both fairly large cats (12 lbs each) but the base of the tree is quite large and therefore very sturdy. I would recommend this product to anyone with cats, particularly those who enjoy sleeping up high.

Der Kratzbaum ist gut verarbeitet, der Bezug wunderbar weich und das Ganze ist absolut stabil. Hatte einen günstigen Kratzbaum gekauft, der ist aber schon hinüber. Dieser Armarkat Kratzbaum wird wohl länger halten. Und das zu einem Hammerpreis.

This cat tree was everything everyone wrote it would be. Sturdy, very easy to put together, great quality, very reasonably priced, material is grand and doesn't shed or leave any bits, the scratching posts are really sturdy and again no shedding and my cat is easily able to run up and down and thru the hole and in and out of the house and onto all the platforms. The cat loves it and so do I - it even looks nice too. I got this tree because of all the outstanding reviews for it and they were spot on. Amazon were a day late with delivery but their staff were super professional, very apologetic, offered me an extra month free prime and followed up to make sure I got it-great service! THANK YOU

This tree itself is beautifull. I can't wait for my cat to see it. I'll post an update when he gets on it. It seems stable for now and it is really tall and great in my living room. If you buy this tree, it's a good one and it is pretty. UPDATE: My two cats LOVEs it. They are on it all the time, they sleep all the time in it. My bengal actually still fits in the basket, but i'm scared he's going to break it one day. It hasn't yet so it's a plus. The bad side of this are on the shipment but I don't know who's fault it is. Pros: It arrived in 4 days when it was actually supposed to arrive in 10. Cons: The box arrived completly openned and ripped, No atempt was even made to close it with tape... at least... I mean... but nothing was missing by chance. The condo corner was broken. The wood was cracked and ripped... Kind of disapointed in that. We decided to keep it as is, but for 200$ I would have liked for this to actually be in perfect condition. I don't know at what point the box got ripped openned, or the condo broken but some attention to this would have been appreciated at least. I don't know who's fault it is (amazon, purolator or Armakat) but someone didn't care enough.
