Armarkat Classic Cat Tree Model B6802, Ivory Buy Now

This cat tree comes disassembled and must be put together. However, this is not complicated and quickly done. We got it in the Ivory color (not sure it comes in other colors) and really like the way it looks. Despite being quite substantial in size, it does not look bulky because it blends in nicely with our carpets and general room decor.

Our three cats took to it immediately, with two of them sleeping on it for hours right after we put it together. I was concerned that maybe the platforms would not provide enough space, especially on the upper ones because all of our cats are quite big, but it works well and I feel that they enjoy the small "barriers" on the sides to curl up against.

What I really like about this company Armarkat is that they offer replacement parts - great idea. So if one of the platforms or poles wears out, you just re-order that part from them and voila, your tree looks good again. The parts are all lettered so it is easy to order the correct one when needed. A huge improvement over having to either live with a ratty-looking tree or buying a completely new one.

Some things I think could be better:
1. The weight of this tree is not as much as one would expect considering the size. I am a bit worried that it might fall over if the cats try to jump up too forcefully - it has already moved back and forth quite a bit on such occasions. We might have to anchor it to the wall.
2. The material used to cover the platforms is relatively thin, much thinner than on the trees that can be bought in pet stores. Time will tell how well this will hold up, and I will post an update in a few months.
3. The pom pom toys that come with the tree are a nice addition, however, they attach with very thin elastic bands to small loops on the undersides of the platforms. We did not use them because we have one cat who loves anything elastic and would have chewed on and ingested those in absolutely no time. We felt this was a safety hazard to our cats. Even with cats with no preference for elastics I would not feel comfortable to hang these on the tree. We cut off the bands and used the pom poms as throw toys. That worked well.

All in all though I think this is a very nice looking tree with plenty of space for multiple cats. It also accommodates different cat preferences - those who like to perch up high and those who like shelter are equally served by this model. Great choice for the money.Get more detail about Armarkat Classic Cat Tree Model B6802, Ivory.
