This review is from: Go Pet Club Cat Tree Furniture, 74-Inch, Black/Brown (Misc.)
I just got it and I can’t comment on the longevity of the item, but first impressions are hard to beat.
First, the carpet on here is so soft – I wasn’t expecting that. I was expecting the standard scratchy stuff. It feels more like fake fur material (not really fluffy or thick), but it does the job nicely and feels good to the human touch.
Second, it only took about 20 min to put together.
Third, the stability is much better than I thought. I looked at several cat tree’s varying in price from under $100 to over $300. This one seemed mid-range so I was expecting mid-range quality. Not at all. It is sturdy and strong. The basket was my biggest concern since my 12 lb cat loves the hammock style thing. It is made of metal inside, so I don’t have to worry about it breaking like I would have if it was just a thin piece of wood.
Fourth, the look is just beautiful! I hadn’t expected the leaves to come with (thought that was just dressing for the website pics), but they did. The overall look of this with and without the leaves is so wonderful that it looks just fine in my living room. I don’t have to worry about it standing out as an eye-sore or feel like I have to explain to visitors that, yeah, that’s the cat tree. It makes it’s own statement.
Fifth, the design is wonderful! I’ve seen many other cat trees, but this one seemed to have several different styles for the landings. Many have the flat landings and a “house”. I’ve seen several with the hammock type thing. But this was the first I saw with the half-barrel hide out. This has so many different elements, every cat is sure to find something it likes. Each of mine have at least two spots I’ve seen them enjoy.
Last, the size is very nice. I’m sure you can see the measurements and get an idea, but it is such a nice size I thought it worth mentioning. It is not small, by any means, but it is also not overpowering.
Well, that’s my take on it so far. My kitties are enjoying it immensely. I love seeing them and it in my living room instead of hidden away in the bedroom.

I couldn’t even get this out of the box and both my boys were so excited; one was chattering. I put half of it together and had to stop because they were so happy and playing on it, boxing each other for the top spot. After several hours, they finally let me finish putting it together. It took about 20-30 minutes total-it was pretty easy. Once finished, the boys didn’t leave this cat tree for hours. They hop, jump, wrestle, box each other and sleep on this. It appears to be pretty sturdy-they play hard on it and one of the boys is 20 pounds. After researching countless cat trees, I’m very happy I went with this one!!

I have 2 cats, one small kitten and one large 3 year old man cat. The kitten took to it right away as you would think. I was surprised that my large kitty took to it as fast as he did. He’s about 14 lbs and a good 3 ft stretched out. He likes the tube and I’ve even seen him in the box a couple times. I was afraid he’d be too big for this like others have reviewed on other trees, but he fits everything. As far as steady goes it hasn’t fallen over yet. The kitten now about 6-7 lbs shimmies up the side quickly which causes it to knock against the wall but I’m sure my uneven floors don’t help. The large cat has been on the top level before, unsure the first time, but he was pretty confident the next time he got up there. The kitten does lay in the basket and its so cute. Its probably her favorite spot.
Update: 2 years later, and another cat added and this thing is in pieces. They loved every minute. They all like the basket. Even the big guy that doesn’t really fit. It’s never fallen over despite the unlevel floors and how loose it got over time. My husband wants to redo the sisal on it. I’m thinking that’s not really going to turn out, but I’ll give it a shot.

My daughter and I bought this house for a neighborhood kitty who no longer will stay with his people. He has adopted us and that’s that! As we both have inside kitties we simply can’t bring him in to our homes. I did a lot of research as my porch isn’t enclosed on all sides and has minimal overhang for protection. This was the only house that met his needs and was under $100.00 (just).
I gave the house five stars, but according to my daughter, who put it together and is very experienced with furniture assembly, the instructions could’ve been clearer. She asked me to tell people to make sure that when they start, the two main walls are both facing the right way – it’ll make a big difference later!
Our kitty likes to stand, lay, and eat on the roof. He enjoys the shade provided by the house and “terrace,” though we haven’t as yet seen him go inside. (Weather has been warm). There is only one opening to the house itself and I’m hoping he isn’t leery of being without escape door if needed. The plastic sheeting that forms the door covering is sturdy and in two vertical strips which meet in center. We’re waiting to attach it until he ventures inside.
The attached picture shows GG on roof of house while house was being assembled. He’s medium size, maybe 9-10 lbs. We may have to make some adaptions to the narrow roof overhang if we finally do get more rain here in So. Cal. Overall this is a sturdy and nice looking outdoor house for kitties.

This is relatively easy to assemble and looks very nice when fully assembled. All you need a a screwdriver. The house is weatherproof, but I still plan on spraying additional waterproofing on it to help it last. You could install an additional small bold door on the back, but I would suggest you pick a door flap and install it before assembling the house. It would have to be a very small bolt door. Also the design has a vinyl flap in front which will help as a windbreak, but I’m not sure how well these will protect cats over the winter. I’m lining mine with bubble thermal insulation to help boost warmth in addition to straw and I’m trying to work out a possible windbreak or sturdier flap for the front.

The wood is very fragile and can easily break under the slightest pressure,
