VESPER Cat Tree Scratching Post with Condo, Walnut

It is well made and very sturdy. Unfortunately our cat is ignoring it!

I've got it. Here's the corrected version: This cat tree tower is incredibly sturdy and has accommodated seven full-sized cats, from kittens to adults. Anchoring the tower will provide an extra layer of security. The rope material used for the scratching posts has held up well over the years and hasn't needed any replacements. However, the rope can create a mess from the dry fibers after scratching. Keep in mind that the box may be a bit small for larger cats. If any parts wear out, you can easily reorder them online. The cushions are removable, but they should never be machine washed. Instead, use a Tide stick for spot cleaning and vacuum the tower daily to keep it clean and looking great. Overall, we highly recommend this cat tower.

This is a great tree for foster parents. You can remove and wash the soft surfaces and wash the hard surfaces down in Rescue Disinfectant, for a healthier kitten room. The kittens and cats love to scratch the sisal and sleep on the cushion. The only thing that surprises me about the tree is that for the most part none of my fosters have particularly played with the balls that hang from the top step.

This is the second vesper cat tree I've gotten and I love it and my cat loves it. It's an essential piece of furniture, it lets him sit and jump and scratch, and it looks nice too. The only problem is I think it's missing holes for me to attach the ball and string.

Looks good and materials feel high quality but top priority was given to keeping the box as compact as possible and as such the footprint of the base is extremely narrow, making the whole tree vibrate rather violently any time a nervous cat is trying to climb on it. Mine wants nothing to do with it even after acclimating for a few days, it's just so incredibly unstable. Checked and re-secured every fastener, the tree itself is rigid, but the base platform is just too small for something this top-heavy. Save your money, something this expensive should not be this shaky.
