Kerbl Maxi-Pet Mount Everest 81635 Climbing Wall for Cats 9-Piece Beige

Die Katzen waren sofort sehr begeistert, auch ich fand diese Kletterwand sehr schön und sie hat einen stabilen Eindruck gemacht... leider hat sich dies, zumindest bei unserem Exemplar, nicht bestätigt!!! Nach keinen 4 Monaten in Gebrauch, ist das Holz an der Halterung der Hängematte komplett gebrochen!!! Meine Katzen sind im Übrigen normalgewichtig...

This set looks great. However, due to the attachment design, the screws holding the sections on the wall are subjected to a great deal of stress from cats jumping about on them.Unless its attached to something rock solid like brick or wood, regardless of using the plastic wall plugs, the screws will work loose. The platforms are pretty hefty in weight themselves even before the cats get on them. A plaster wall will definitely just give way as it has done already for 2 sections in our house within 1-2 months - the hammock support and the platform attached to the suspension bridge both got wrenched off the wall. I have 2 kittens who are very active, but not full size yet. Luckily they survived the experience without harm. I recommend using different attachments to the screws and plugs provided or take care to only consider attaching to the right type of wall.

Sadly the product has been massively let down by the cheap plugs and screws. How the large box is ment to stay up with 3 screws is beyond me. (The box bent one of the screws as you can see in the picture)A large thud and I ran in to see one of my cats limping away. The box had come away and smashed into my wall. (Hanging on by the bridge)So now I've returned, I'm left with several holes in the wall and a damaged wall.

The screw/bolt holes that secure the ladder are not drilled correctly. They don't line up. On one side you can get one of the bolts tightened but the second side just doesn't line up correctly and the other end (box) the bolt threads have been put in the wrong side of the chipboard so the bolts don't reach through. This is the second kerbl product I bought , at the same time and both have issues with the ladder fitting.

For what this cost I was expecting a product of better quality. Screw holes were missing on several of the shelves and the hammock arms were completely out of square resulting in a lop sided hammock. On the plus side one my cats is already on it so at least he likes it
