CatastrophiCreations Handcrafted Mounted Shelves Natural Review

3 stars at the moment because it's incredibly difficult to install. We had many problems and it's not finished yet. Once it's fully installed and the cats return to it, I'll come back to it.

I started with the Deluxe Cat Fort and placed it as a mirror image of the instructions just because it better fits the overall layout of my living room. Once that was done I was pretty quick adding new parts and rearranging things to better suit my needs - quite a bit of fun planning new additions. The Catastrophic Creations website has some great planning tips if you want to add something extra or create something entirely of your own. Customer service is great - my first box was missing a…
