On2 Pets Cat Tree with Leaves Made in USA, Cat House & Cat Activity Tree, Multi-Level Cat Condo for Indoor Cats

Overall I love the tree and so does Butterscotch. It’s sturdy and easy to clean compared to a cardboard cat tree. Plus it looks like art in my living room. Here’s a summary of the things I struggled with, see below for detailsStability: I had to hide a piece of folded cloth under one side of the base to get the tree to not wobble when the cat jumps into it (see below for details).Comfort: The pre-assembled leaves are great but I did have to remove a lot of them to get my cat to use the tree. Once he got comfortable with the tree I was able to add back some of the leaves, but the branches are too stiff or prickly for him to push past them so I had to leave some of them off.Size: my cat is 11-12 lbs and is very long lol so the top shelf is too small for him to use. See the pictures I added for help in visualizing how much space it takes upDetails: I’m 5’1 and not very strong and was able to build this myself in maybe 45-60min with my cat distracting me by being cute playing in the leaves along the way. The heaviest part of the tree is the base, and I could lift it just fine.The hardest parts of assembly were adjusting the base screws so that it would stand flat/not wobble and installing the last part of the trunk. The base comes with screws that have rubber heads attached to give it grip on the floor I assume. The problem is that if one of the screws is even a little off compared to the others the tree will wobble! I eventually had to put a folded cloth under one side of the tree because I got tired of adjusting the screws. Then the last trunk and shelf: There wasn’t enough of the inner pole left to fit the last trunk section over, which meant I couldn’t install the last shelf. I had to take it apart and loosen several of the inner rods to regain height, which made me worry about the stability again. But once it came together it looked great and was surprisingly stable.Sturdiness: I lost maybe 2 leaves in the assembly process, but after that the tree has remained intact. It holds up to being jumped on to by my cat, the shelves are super sturdy.Butterscotch likes to lounge in it and watch the birds from behind the leaves. It’s so cute when I find him napping in the tree or on the base. Because he loves it so much and it looks so good in my space I’m willing to overlook the few problems I had with assembly and give it a 5 star rating

I have THREE of these trees in my home. One is upstairs, one is in the living room and one is on the sunporch. We have two cats and my cats love them. They like to hide among the leaves. Additionally, I think these trees look really nice as decor. Fighting cats in the Christmas tree is not my idea of fun, so we skip a tree altogether; however, I can add some lights to one of my green cat trees and feel a little festive! Each level is scratchable and the green "grass" is scratchable as well. (The trunk pieces are not scratchable.) The trees are very sturdy and remain upright. Even my big cat has no trouble using these trees. The tree is easy to put together. Each level has a cut out (is not perfectly round) so you can build it so that your cats can go from level to level. I really like these three-level trees! They provide a pleasing alternative to traditional cat trees.

Update: we managed to tighten it more and it wobbles considerably less!!The tree looks really cool and our cats LOVE it. We got the extra large one as we have three cats we didn’t want to fight over it. It’s a great height, and pretty sturdy though it wobbles quite a bit. We have one cat that likes to chew up everything and he chews on the leaves - they are really sturdy. The cats love it, and we are grateful it is non-toxic since we have cats that chew on everything. The branches have come out once but we popped it back in.

Honestly, my cats love this thing. It wasn't hard to assemble and if you make sure to make every level nice and tight, it's pretty sturdy. My biggest cat is 11 pounds and he is all over it. I got the rounded base. I did have to add some weight at the base but that's because my apartment unit does not have level floors at all. If you have a cat that plays a bit rougher like I do, you will have a bit of extra work since the branches will need to be put back on the platform but it's not hard and the fits are made so you can remove them and replace them with different colors later I think. All in all, it's a great little tree and my kitties love playing in it. The branches are a bit moldable so you can bend them into the direction or shapes you need. If you want it for the scratch pad capability, I wouldn't say it's not a good investment. There is some carpet on each platform but it's thin and not a great choice. But for a play place for the cats or even somewhere they can snooze? it's great and it looks cute instead of how a lot of cat trees can look

Cute idea, but our cats have taken to tearing its leaves off and chewing on the plastic coated wire. I’m sure they stripped about 50% of the leaves. (I’m tired of raking inside). Also, they push all the branches down, so it just looks bad. Also, the skinny screw poles inside the “tree trunk” aren’t quite long enough to get a secure tight hold, so the whole thing is a bit Wobbly.The cats really do like it, but this was an impulse buy that I wish I hadn’t made.
