MAU Modern Cat Tree Tower for Large Cats, Real Branch Luxury Cat Condo, Wood Cat Scratching Tree, Cat Lover Gifts by Mau Lifestyle

A bit on the pricey side, but it's beautiful, sturdy, and the cats really enjoy it (tip: I saved our Amazon points so I ended up paying $2 and change)! We have so many cat trees and this one is the best because it's not an eyesore and actually fits with our decor better. I love that both baskets are strong and do not wobble so that means the cats will actually use them. The pads are super nice and plush and the legit branches are unique, fun, and beautiful to look at. The company knows that the best way to get cats to use the tree right away is to sprinkle it with catnip so a small packet of catnip was included and I love that detail. It was packaged well, super easy to assemble by myself; top to bottom, this is the best cat tree we've ever bought --hopefully it will last for a long time. The only slight ding is that the baskets are a little too close together so the lower basket is partially under the higher basket --I also couldn't get the dangle toys to be in the front. Despite rotating the two branches that the baskets sit atop, the lower basket is always a little under the taller basket. Not the end of the world, but something I wish were adjustable (same for the dangle toys, they're in the back and not able to adjust or change locations so they likely won't get much use). Would be nice if there were multiple rings under the basket and the toys were attached by rings that could detach so you could move them to better locations after assembly.

Having furniture for your cat is important, but I was sick of the usual look of cat trees. I moved into a new home and wanted something that actually complements the room. Decided to shell out more money than I'm usually comfortable with, and WOW I'm glad I did.Picture is of the Mau tree on our living room next to the kitchen. I love love love the look of it and I can't imagine the room without it. I did make a slight alterations to the cave opening, using an extra cushion I ordered from Mau, because my cat likes to hide when guests come over.It took about a month for my cat to get used to it, but now she scritchy-scratches it all the time and plops into one of the baskets whenever I cook in the kitchen.It is heavy, but I personally have no problem carrying it around. I had to take it upstairs at one point and it was no big deal. The weight makes it more stable. If you need to move it, the trick is to get a good grip on the lower branch with one hand, and grip onto under the base with your other hand.The assembly did make me scratch my head a bit. Placing the three supports in the cave straight without it appearing a bit "twisted" was a challenge. Make sure you are only loosely setting the screws at first, then when they're all in, gradually tighten each one a bit of a time in a circle until all sufficiently tightened.

Amazing product, hands down! The cats were in the baskets before they were put up. The only thing, depending on the cat, the higher tier basket is hard for the second cat to jump on. They have to first jump in the first basket before getting up on the second one. I just pick up the cat and place him in the higher basket and he stays. So far, it works for me. Some cats might jump on it with no issues.The quality is very high end, it's very sturdy, the animals love the design, it looks great and modern, easy to put together.

just got ours today and couldn't wait to put it together. It's much more aesthetically pleasing than the other cat trees out there, super sturdy; I have humongous cats who are about 17 pounds each and they fit comfortably in the baskets. Look how happy they are!

It's a beautiful piece of cat furniture that my cats were using within minutes, but there are some minor drawbacks.First, getting the hut together was a frustrating experience. It has 3 supports inside, to prop up the "roof" and anchor one of the tree limbs, but all the fur makes lining up the post holes and bolts a pain. But it seems sturdy, once it's all together.My pair of beds do not have the dramatic difference in heights that you see in the display image. The beds are quite close to one another, and they would be touching if I were to spin one of them. It's still very appealing to look at, and my cats don't seem to mind.Finally, I'm not a big fan of the synthetic fiber fur-lined pads that it came with. My other cat tree from MAU used a cotton blend type of bed, and I wish this model came with something similar. I may switch it out with something less irritating to the skin. But again, my cats seem to be able to sleep on it, so maybe it's just me.I'm not sorry I bought it and I don't think you will be either... if you can get past the sticker shock.

Very esthetically pleasing cat tree. Our cat loves the basket perches with or without the little cushions. Our little dog also likes the den at the bottom!
