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

This cat tower looks nice in my living room and it’s sturdy. The cats love it! The assembly was also easy! Took me 15 mins to build

I know this cat tree is pricey, but in this case I'm glad I decided to spend the extra money. First, it has a rich appearance and not that typical cat furniture boxy look. Second, it is extremely sturdy. It has a heavy base that keeps it stable when the kitties jump on it. I have two cats that weigh 9 and 10 lbs. and they love to sleep together in the top basket; so the baskets are roomy. The tree was well thought out when designed making it easy for them to jump from one basket to the next.

Update: At first I didn’t like the 4-tier tree, but now my cats are bigger and they always want to sit at the top.Original Review; I got the tallest one, but my cats will only stay at the bottom two levels. The top two levels are not an easy jump for the cats, because they are awkwardly situated. I would have given 5 stars if the 3rd and 4th tier were easy for the cats to jump to. Because of this, I would not recommend doing a tall 4-tier one. I think the three-tiered one would have worked better. The tree is well made and sturdy. Assembly would be easier with two people, especially putting the base on. It’s not hard to assemble, but challenging for one person to assemble.

OK, It did take me a minute to put it together - but sturdy pieces, bolts and directions! I felt like it was actually a present for me as the packaging is delightfully simple, corrugatedly strong, appealing in color and cat jokes! The packaging makes a lovely cat cabin as well :>) The Mau Tree is the strongest tree I have ever seen and should anything become worn out or ruined, the pieces are replaceable! For me, knowing my 5 cats as I do, it was well worth the $. Napping has been constant since I affixed the last of the four baskets. My kitty, Shoesy Q, is the Queen of the Mau Tree. She was the first one to climb it and assume her perch in the top basket. Duquesne, Jackie Lee, Moonkitty and Socks love the premium napping enjoyed in the lower baskets. We love the Mau Tree [and the box].

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)
