Update: that chemical smell has turned into a mold smell. I didn't have this problem with the other cat tree I bought from this company. It's so strong I had to throw away the product because i live in a small apartment and it was making me and my cat sick. That explains why there were over 20 silica gel packets in the box. It must have gotten some type of water damage or something. I tried to reach out to cattreeking, but never got a response.
Original Review:
Pros:
• It looks nice
• Cooper seems to like at least the top bit
Cons:
• This cat tree has an awful chemical smell to it that hasn't gone away since I got it.
• The inside of the cave and the underneath of the bottom levels are covered in felt not the soft material the rest of the tree is. I wouldn't have bought this tree if I knew that since my cat likes to eat felt.
• The pad in the house cave doesn't velcro down like the other two pads and it came bent up
• It's wobbly if not against a wall
• The seams aren't lined up correctly. The fabric comes together in odd places.
I'm giving a neutral review because my cat is ok with it, but the price point was insane for what I got. Don't get me wrong, I will take my chance with this company again just because I can buy the individual components, but I figured I would be frank about the product.
