Good size
For the price it is a good size but not too big and the cat loves it. Easy to put together and heavy so won't topple over.
-
They love it - what more can I say
This tree has been a staple in our home since it came in the door. The way it is created allows for a very easy ladder effect for cats to climb and we have seen our seniors and kittens alike can navigate this. Hope Chewy keeps this one around for a long time. We love this! Not too much and not too little. Used for at least 6+ hours every day in our home. Your cat needs this.

We love this cat tree!
Over the years we have bought this cat tree numerous times and recommended it to others! It’s simple, cute, stylish, the perfect size, and sturdy for our 10 and 14 pound cats. They will both be on it at the same time a lot. If you worry, there’s an option to anchor to the wall.
Best Cat Tree for Large Cats
-
Exactly what we needed!
Our big guy needed a tree that he could climb and lounge on, this checks both boxes. He loves it!
-
Sturdy, perfect size, cats love it
Needed a new and smaller cat tree. This is perfect. Like other have said, the condo is a pain to put up, but the rest of it was very easy. It is very sturdy. Both my 12 lb and 10 lb cats easily jump up on it without any sign of it falling.
-
These are perfect for big cats!!!
We bought two of these for our long cats because they hang off of normal size cat trees. These are perfect and amazingly priced compared to others!!

Best Cat Tree with Condo

Good instructions, Easy Assembly, Cats Love It
The material quality feels excellent and there’s quite a bit of scratching area to keep the cats focused on something other than the furniture. They all hopped up on it right away and use it all the time.
-
Sturdy and easy to build
My cats love it! It's very sturdy and easy to build. I always find a cat snoozing or playing on it. It has room for all three cats on it so it's very spacious for them.
-
Well made and Sturdy
I bought this to go home to the "boarder" (a rescued cat) who was quickly adopted but new owner was changing homes and then their pup had to have surgery. Here, months later, they removed it from the box and assembled it since he's expected to go this week to his new home. First thing the new owner said was how well made and how sturdy it was. I am very picky about cat furniture since Boo (gone for few years) slept up in a crows nest on one. The crow's nest had a hole to lower level and he fell through while asleep and dislocated back knee. Oddly, the neighbors said they would take the tree for their young 6mo old cat thinking it couldn't...

Easy to assemble, great sisal scratching posts
When I first assembled the tree, I was concerned that it was not sturdy enough and would topple as my cat jumped on and off the top tier, but it’s actually been great so far! I love how tall the sisal scratching post is - it allows my cat to really stretch up and scratch it, as opposed to the short ones which don’t provide enough vertical space for standing and scratching. I got this tree specifically for the spot in front of my side bedroom window, and it was the perfect height for that. My cat loves to sit on the top tier and look out the window, and when she’s done with that, she curls up for a nap with plenty of space for whatever...
-
Great medium sized cat tree
I was looking for a medium sized cat tree that would allow easier access to the window for my cat that previously had a femur fracture and can't jump as high. It took her about a month to warm up to the cat tree, first only using the middle level to access the window and after about two months actually napping in the top bed. My previous foster kitten also loved to climb around and nap in the cat tree. So far, none have really used the hut on the bottom level but perhaps future foster kittens will use it. Finally, it can wobble a little bit when my cat has the zoomies and she leaps onto it from a greater speed and distance. I expected it may...

Attractive, Blends in with Drapes
This cat tree is easy for one person to assemble. Bracing the "apartment" is a bit tricky because it's a tight space, but other than that -- directions are clear, parts are marked and/or identifiable from the diagrams. A shag-type carpet fabric would be better to expand the nail scratching options, rather than this soft, velvety fabric. However, this tree had the exact specs & structure I was looking for, and at an optimum price. My cats love it!
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
My cats love it!
The tunnel with the cut out hole is perfect. Very stable cat tree that they enjoy finding different ways to climb up and around it.
-
sturdy!
Easy to assemble, very sturdy, some of the carpet could be better quality so it would be easier to keep clean but my cats are happy!
-
Immediately loved it!
Well-made and all 3 of my cats love it. It has a good variety of perches and the height is great!
Best Cat Tree that Looks Like a Tree
-
Purrfect!
We had a cat tree from Chewy which my cat loved...to death. So when it was time to replace it, we did decide to down size and this the perfect size! She is happy and I have more room.
-
Not Perfect but..
My cats LOVE sunbathing on the top and attacking the scratching posts. The leaves didn’t last very long so it looks pretty bare now. The hanging tunnel also has gone loose (cats didn’t even use it. Despite the small annoyances, it was easy to assemble and what really matters is that the cats like it.
-
My cats love this tower
It was an instant hit with my two boys, the large flat spaces allow them both to enjoy this tower without fighting. The cats specifically seem to like the fact there aren't sidewalls on the large platforms.
Best for Cats Who Love to Scratch
-
Versatile for all 3 cats.
I added the Trixie 3 step pet stairs in place of the ramp and removed the hammock (my cats would not use it), and cut a center slit in the cave area. I placed the cat tree in front of the window and now my cats have been thoroughly enjoying the whole set-up. This is the best cat tree I have ever bought.
-
The price was very reasonable!
This is my 2nd purchase of this cat tower. The first one lasted almost 2 years! I have 7 cats and it was very loved and used by them!
-
The Boys Love It
Debated between this one and one slightly taller. So glad I went with this one! It’s super sturdy and took me and my boyfriend about 45 minutes to put together after a wine dinner where there was lots of wine haha. Only tricky part is making sure you get the house part on right. We had the base on backwards and had to redo that for it to have the openings the right way but otherwise very simple install. Great for my kitten who has to do and have everything my older boy does. 2 perches at same height so they can’t fight over it. The pictures are from a few hours after we put it up. Please ignore the kitten hanging over the side like a...
Best Modern Cat Tree
-
Aesthetically Pleasing
I've been looking for months for a cat tree that wasn't ugly as sin but also not $600. I was pumped when I saw this one. It looks great, the laminate is realistic like wood, and the other materials are good too. It was not difficult to put together by myself, just took a little bit of time. It is true that a cat wouldn't be able to get from the first platform to the second, but mine is next to a table and she goes right to the second then the third. It only took a few days for my cat to start chillin up there. The best part is she has stopped trying to climb up my bookshelves! Overall very happy I can have a cat tree that doesn't ruin the...

I love the nice design of this tree. LOVE no carpet !! I.
I only buy uncarpeted trees now. Carpeted ones are a cleaning nightmare. The kitties love it, though they refused to pose. This was super easy to assemble, and it beautiful.
-
Great quality
The modern design is great for my home aesthetic. My 2 cats love the condo and perch. I use the platform to place a food grazing bowl throughout the day. It’s great for them to access their food without my dog being able to reach the bowl.
Best Cat Tree for Small Spaces
-
Cute cat tree for kitten or young cat
Was the first cat tree that I bought for my cat and she enjoyed it! The sisal posts could be more durable, however.
-
Great for Kittens
Perfect for when my cats were kittens and as a secondary cat tree for scratching & lounging by the window now that they’re bigger. Really good quality and still in excellent condition after being used daily for 2 years.
-
My cat absolutely loves this
Like most cats, mine is kind of particular. In order for her to use a scratcher or a piece of furniture, it must fulfill a few requirements. It can’t be too steep, it has to not wobble with her on it (she’s 17lbs and is pretty long), and I have to place it in the right location. She legit has shedded this and I had to buy a replacement.
Best Novelty Cat Tree
-
great cat bed.
My one cat LOVES to hide in this thing and reach out to catch you when you walk by. It does have patches on the legs to keep it in one place. However, he still manages to drag it around the living room as he plays with it and "hunts" the llama. Really great investment to replace the giraffe he has "killed" too many times that it is barely standing.
-
10/10 recommend!
I knew my cat would be obsessed with this lama and I had to have it. He loves getting inside boxes and small areas to keep but also loves laying on top of higher platforms to see out the window. This gives him both. It's the perfect size. Love the color combo. It's adorable. Remy climbs it. Bites it. Scratches his nails on it. Sleeps on it and in it. He loves his llama just as I knew he would! Great price as well! I could not be happier with my purchase!
-
Easy to put together
Visitors have commented on how cute this is. My kitties use this as a hiding space when they're feeling stressed.
A cat tree may seem like a larger investment, but your furry friend will get so much out of it. The best cat trees will provide hours of entertainment—and give them their new favorite spot for snoozing away the afternoon.
