This is an excellent cat tree, sturdy and robust and very much in use all day long. The only thing I would change is the 4 bottom posts are NOT sisal, they are covered in plush which was ripped to shreds and hanging off in a matter of days and they were scratching away at the cardboard tubes. I replaced them with 4 used sisal covered posts from a previous cat tree and it is going strong almost a year later, but would have been unusable if I hadn't had the spare posts.

Got this as our previous cat tree had gone through enough abuse! Took me about an hour to put together and I positioned the sisal covered poles towards the front as they would be easier for the cats to get to and less damage to the 'fur' covered poles as we have it next to a wall. I use the bottom hammock to hold their toys and they love sitting up on the paw perch and sleeping in the upper bunk. Word of advise: Do not get the black tree if you have white furred cats!

The instructions are hard to decipher, so we accidentally started building this from the bottom up. The way it fits together means you have to follow the instructions very carefully... which is great if you know how to decipher them. It took us two hours (including having to start from scratch). In other words, start at 1 and work your way through it in sequence. Do not deviate even a little or you'll find yourself in Narnia with an upside down tree that won't fit together. It's very heavy, but it needs to be so it doesn't wobble. KitKat is small (~3kg) but there's a lot of force behind her leaping and climbing. This thing hasn't shown any sign of straining in the slightest, even when she runs at it from the other side of the house. I love that it's so snuggly, but the tree sheds fluff like nobody's business. It doesn't really bother me but it does mean hoovering more often. We sprinkled the tree with catnip to encourage her attention, but it didn't take long at all for KitKat to start leaping all over it. We've had to put her bowl on the base plate because there's no room for it otherwise, and that seems to have helped her get used to the rest of the tree, too. Her favourite part is definitely the house so far, but she scratches at it often and likes jumping and hopping and sort of belly-crawling around the back of the house on her side. She hasn't used the hammock yet. (Or, well, she flopped around in it a bit while I was writing this because one of her balls was in it and she wanted it back. She seemed to like it, but then she rolled out on the wrong side upside down so I don't think the hammock is her best friend right now - which is a shame because it was one of the main selling points for me. Hopefully she'll get used to it eventually.) She's also not managed to figure out how to get up to the top platform yet. I love that the cushions and hammock are all removable so they can be washed. I imagine the pad in the house will require washing a lot more often than the rest, though.

it looks good and is extremely cosy for snuggling in, however, it's not as sturdy as your La Digue cat tree (hence my 4 star rating), even though the design is virtually identical, so I suspect it won't last as long as our La Digue trees, which are wonderful too. Have always been very pleased with everything we buy from Zooplus, as are my cats! Have tried several times to upload photos of our trees but have never been successful,however, my trees are all loved and very much used by my four large cats!
