What makes these different from carpeted cat trees?
Each tower in this collection is a real branching trunk or solid-wood build, kiln-dried, sanded smooth, and finished with pet-safe oil — furniture your cat climbs, not the carpet-wrapped cardboard you hide in a closet when guests come and replace within two years.
How stable are they for large cats?
Very. Wide, weighted bases and solid teak limbs keep the tower planted under a running leap from across the room. For enthusiastic climbers we include a wall strap, the same insurance you would give a loaded bookcase.
Is there assembly involved?
Most towers arrive in two or three sections that bolt together in under twenty minutes with the included hardware. Platforms come pre-attached; you fasten the sections together and position the weighted base — no wordless diagrams, no lost afternoon.
What about claw marks and cleaning?
Vacuum platforms and wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth. Claw marks stay in the top layer of the oil finish — a light sanding and a wipe of oil erase them whenever you choose, which a lacquered surface can never do at home.
How do the towers ship?
Towers are made to order and packed in sectioned, padded cartons with hardware bagged inside the base and corners protected. Photograph the cartons before the driver leaves if anything looks crushed; tracking follows by email the day your order leaves the workshop.
Will this size suit more than one cat?
Yes. This build runs about 70 inches tall with a spread near 70 inches, so the platforms sit far enough apart for two or three cats to hold separate posts. Give it a corner with clear ceiling height, room to leap, and two feet from a heat vent.
