MAU 73" Tall Modern Cat Tree Scratching Tower for Large Cats, Scratching Post Condo, Cat Tower for Multiple Cats, Luxury Cat Gifts by Mau Lifestyle

Apologies for lack of good photo/video. I'll update if I acquire better.First off a bit about my household:I was a two cat household until some needy 4 week olds fell in my lap. I intended to foster and find a home for one or both ...but after a couple months realized this was not going to happen. So suddenly I have 4 cats in a 700sqft apartment.I am a firm believer in min one cat tee per cat...everyone usually claims one and it's a good balance. I went looking for my normal sub 100 tree which I could only technically afford one of... but kept seeing this one. The more I saw the more I loved it. It is as stunning in person as online...and I HATE whites/tans/beiges.... even so I bit the bullet and got one on an Affirm loan. _Worth It_First: This thing is sooo easy to assemble and I love that it allows you to adjust where the angles are while still having balance. Intelligence in the design from top to bottom. The base could likely use some form of sealant to prevent easy destruction but from desiring less negative impact on the environment I see why this was skipped. Perhaps a harder wood?Note: Watch out for the included cat nip while assembling..apparently I didn't realize they included some and barely rescued my living room from being covered in it due the high energy kitten.Second: Replaceable parts? Sign me up! All the other trees technically should be due to how they assemble but manufacturers making or selling the parts individually does not seem to happen.Third and Most Important: The cats love it. They even share it peacefully on the regular. This does not happen with the other trees. They've even, for the most part, abandoned the other trees! I may end up removing a tree and recovering valuable space one day...Note on this: I did delay this review to make sure I was not just experiencing the normal new toy excitement cats can have, particularly around trees, nope. This has at least one cat in it 90% of the day for well over the time they usually get 'new thing fatigue'More info: The bowls are also sufficient for the cats to double up in, even the adults. My adults are not heavy and two together would be the weight of some of yalls adorable chonkers out there.The padding could stand maybe some loops and a button to help hold them in place but fixing them once and awhile is not much of an issue and sometimes the cats adjust them back for themselves.The _one_ downside and feedback which isn't unique to this type of furniture/base: I did note the one or two reviewers speaking to the instability of the tree. It's nit unstable unless there are issues with parts/assemblage... or your floor (like me).Generally you should not be experiencing it....BUT if you have old school hardwood floors like me its impossible to avoid. I have my ways around it which worked fantastically....but for a nearly $400 tree it would be nice if this were a non issue and the feet had some adjustment. The feet are not adjustable. My thought: If there could be access to the feet from the top platform and large/longer screws (with maybe little plungers) that would allow you to screw/unscrew the feet a TINY amount in an uneven surface environment it would be absolute icing on the cake. One could adust while the cats were on it/testing it for you. Doubt much will be done here as this is such a common issue but figured I would put it out there.My fix for uneven (non carpeted) floors if you're curious:Use a glob of Quake Hold...size based on amount of wobble and foot size. Ball it up and place in the middle of foot [warmed up] then shove/wiggle furniture down until stable. It creates a little lift and mini hold on that one corner. This will not help if its too significant of a difference but likely there are bigger problems if you need more than this. If you paint your hardwood: Be aware it WILL pull up paint if you need to move the furniture and act accordingly)

My cats are happy with it. It is decent quality and looks stylish compared to pet store junk. Pretty sturdy. You can also buy replacement parts/items from their website, so you can replace parts that get worn or destroyed from cat tendencies.

Hands down my Cats favorite place to play & sleep. I bought it because its obviously BEAUTIFUL. But its even prettier in person. And I CAN'T believe how much my kitties love it! 😍

The cats adore this tree and one of them will climb up the scratching post instead of hopping from basket to basket. The only concern I have is that it is a bit wobbly when they get to the top two tiers, I’ve made sure to tighten everything. This thing is huge and I have no worries about it tipping over, the base is a big piece of heavy solid wood. It also looks better than most other cat trees on the market, while still maintaining the functionality of a cat tree.

My 23lb Maine Coon loves it and uses it all the time. He fits great in the baskets. I love that he climbs it like a tree instead of just jumping onto it and between baskets. I feel like it will be really good for his joints that he actually climbs it and uses his muscles. Unfortunately, my 20 pound female Maine Coon won’t get on it but she uses the scratching posts. My cats have their full claws, and this cat tree is holding up great to both of them scratching on it. It still looks like brand new and we’ve had it for over three months. The cushions are easy to clean, which is nice because my cats shed a lot of hair.

Omg! Love this! Heavy for two active 12 pound cats to play and sleep. Attractive in any room. They adore scratching on it! Fairly easy to put together, no tools other than the Allen wrench that comes with it. I had to get a man to help with the top section. I am a senior woman with bad vision and couldn't get the top branch on. Heavy! He struggled some until he found the screw thread was faulty. He messed with it for a bit and it went on easily. Mau has a help center I could have reached for a replacement screw but cats and I did not want to wait!A few weeks later I bought another smaller one, then during black Friday sale I bought replacement parts for the large unit, extra cushions for the beds and dangle toys to attach. More for the future as this is expensive and I don't know if I will have the money when it wears out!This was a splurge gift for my cats in our new home. It is much prettier than the big bulky trees that shed carpet fibers and the sisal frays away. It is pretty in the rooms too!I put the old trees on our screened in room (catio) until they wear out.Highly recommend! Buy during December, the only time they have discounts on items or bundles.
