Review on 🐱 Hey-brother 63'' Multi-Level Cat Tree: King Cat Condo with Cozy Perches and Stable Cat Tower - Light Gray by Candace Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can't say I'm very happy with this purchase

So many cons, few pros. It was a great idea, but poorly executed in my opinion. The quality of the item was a bit disappointing as I paid so much for it. The fabric has already come loose in a few shreds (no bare pieces yet but the fact that it came loose easily is disconcerting), there were a few loose threads, I didn't take a picture but you can see where they are tried to glue the fabric to the wood but it didn't stick. I had a feeling some of the parts might splinter when handled and I suspect a lot of the sawdust chipped off. The build was also a bit rough when it came to frame details. On the other hand, you will be provided with all the screws and an Allen key. I have a feeling it wasn't measured as well as it could be as some of the pillars in the caves are so close to the screws that it's difficult to move them into place (at least it helps with the Stability). !) Speaking of measurements! The height and length are good, but I would have liked a little more width. This scratching post is quite large, as big as expected, but I have a hard time imagining that more than one kitten or ferret could enjoy this scratching post. The ramp is quite steep so going up is easy, but you can also jump down. The ledges to move up or down are too narrow for (at least my 12-pound) adult cat. I also think they will have a hard time using scrapers at higher levels. The hanging balls are also placed strangely, too close to the edge or too close to another level, and the whole platform couldn't fit because the top platform is too close! This could easily have been a 4 star item had it been made of better quality and measured better. The idea is great, the height and features (ramp, both hammocks, multi-level play areas) are what I expect from a scratching post, but it doesn't quite live up to my expectations.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
