Cat Wall Shelves/Furniture, Shelves, Perches and Steps Set with 2 Cat Condos House, 6 Shelves, 2 Ladder, 1 Sisal Cat Scratching Post

The directions are really vague but eventually I got it. The video of assembly they put on here doesn’t have the same screws and anchors as what I was given but I think the idea is basically the same either way. My anchors were the hollow pieces with teeth and the matching screw that will go in them (O), the silver blunt screws (N), and the small screws for the step bridge (P). Once I could place the screws it was pretty self explanatory on how to put it all together. Everything matched up nicely, and the wood seems sturdy enough. I’ll probably add some scrap carpet or rope to add traction cuz it’s pretty slick wood for kittens with the zoomies. I haven’t mounted it yet but I’m sure it’ll be pretty simple. One thing I like is that they are a bit plain looking so I can add little personalized touches if I want to like string toys, etc. Overall I’m pretty excited!

Was small so it was easy to assemble. We have a small 2Br|2Ba apt with 2 adult cats and a medium sized dog they like to get away from. This was the perfect investment for them. We got this to try and keep them from climbing on furniture and our kitchen counters. This was their 1st ever “Jungle Gym” so they were skeptical about it at first, we sprinkled Cat Nip on it and now they are more accepting of the idea. Will take them some getting used to.As far as assembly they provided more than enough screws, anchors and even a drill bit for the size of the anchors. The only difficult thing to put together was the box portion of the set up(definitely a 2 person job: 1 to screw & 1 to hold). Everything else was pretty self explanatory.Quality is basic wood you’d find in a kid’s DIY project but it’s made for light cats so it’s not like a human kid will be jumping and climbing on it so I’d say it’s pretty acceptable for the price.Overall: Great for the price. Do not except this to cover an entire full-sized wall, you will need to get at least 2 of them if that’s what you’re going for.

In summary, if you're willing to put in some work, this is cheaper than you can make these things by hand (and saves so much time cutting the panels). But I had to go spend a little more money on some proper tooling. Maybe my most important note is that if you want these things to be sturdy, you'll want to replace the drywall anchors with something better.My other notes on assembly and installation:- Without carpet, I doubt a cat would play on these. First thing I did after component assembly was carpet all surfaces using $20 of carpet and a staple gun. This way, the cat doesn't slip off when trying to jump on from great distance.- It's easy to put the platforms upside-down; pay attention to which side has indents where the screws are. This is mostly just annoying.- It's easy to put the wrong cat face platforms on each box; pay attention to which platforms have the holes. Otherwise you won't have holes to anchor to the walls, so you'll need to drill your own, and it will have holes away from the walls (which is again annoying).- It is very difficult to get the scratching post that divides two of the platforms screwed in correctly. It's especially challenging to carpet around it. What's worse, the scratching post sits *directly in the way* of two of the four screws you have to drive into the wall. So you'll have to mount half of it, remove the post, mount the other half, then re-add the post while it's on the wall—an agonizing process.- This wood is somewhat cheap, which makes it easy to drill through, for better and for worse. That said, it's also solid wood, at a great price.- The drywall anchors that come with this are junk. Buy new ones—the kind that deform or latch when you drill them in. Otherwise the installed product will wobble loose and possibly come off eventually.- Twine that holds the bridge together is stapled to the wood rather than threaded through; it is very susceptible to being pulled out. I re-stapled each piece for added security.- Your life will probably be easier if you have a drill with a hex driver bit.My tools and materials:- Power drill with Philips and hex screwdriver tips (drywall bit included with this kit).- 32 × actual drywall anchors (included ones, again, suck).- Level.- Pencil (I used a mechanical pencil to trace where to drill the holes through the pre-drilled holes in the kit).- Someone else to hold the thing while tracing it with the pencil.- 4 × Wood screws for the stud I inevitably found during installation.For carpeting:- 18" × 120" carpet (I bought an 18" slice of a 12' carpet and had a bit over 2' left over).- Staple gun.- Sheet metal sheers (these cut carpet like butter).I leave two to three inches on the sides of the shelves to fold over the edges and then trim the overlap with the shears. I also just trimmed a circle around the scratching post, though I could probably have instead screwed that in through the carpet.

We loved them so much we ordered another set. We did add some rubber backed carpet and hung them with butterfly anchors but the shelves are very sturdy with the anchors we used and holds up my 20lb+ cat with ease.

We love this set type the “catification” of our home. We read the reviews and made the following edits/additions: throw out the anchors that come with it and buy some plastic/more sturdy ones. We also got us some scrap carpet and added it to every mount to help with grip for the zoomies. We don’t have a lot of wall space so we actually did away with one of the extras stairs. We also read that the ladders were more for looks and cats didn’t use them so with the limited wall space we also did away with those. This set took a lot of time to set up but was straight forward and not difficult. Highly recommend as long as you’ve got the proper anchors and carpet!Also: this was only possible to set up with another person so if you’re looking to set this up be sure there are 2 of you!

I gave it a 3 because the wood is good but even that came out slightly damaged which is not too bad but the assembly is not only vague,the wood doesn't line up with holes. I had to use my own tools. If you do not have your own drill and the holes don't line up for yours, you would not be able to put it together. There's no way to line it up unless you unlined the other wall then either ways you'd have to drill that one too.

I have 3 cats. 1 of the 3 lives on this thing. She absolutely loves it. The other 2 will pick on her and now she can easily separate herself from them. It was fairly easy to put together although not as easy as their video shows. I put it together and my husband painted it and put it on the wall. All in all I’d say it was a good purchase.

Easy assembly, sturdy to mount, and also great to paint and decorate. Be sure to get adhesive carpet title and either home staple gun or nail & hammer for the top of the shelve and inside the box. My cats love chilling or zooming on the shelves. The bridge is a bit sketchy so be sure to reinforce the mount on the bridge and also the rope connected to said bridge.
