The instructions do suck as few reviewers noted. A simple way to remedy this is to take a very good look at the photo of it on the web, take a good look at the bill of material, realize that there are 3 different lengths of various posts and two flat platforms are slightly different one has a pre-drilled hole for a rope, the other doesn't. Then start building it from bottom up, NOT from the top to bottom as the instructions suggest. Make sure you tighten each section well before you attach a next one. As few reviewers suggested, skip the ladders, totally useless, our 3 months old kittens have no problem jumping from the floor straight up to the top of the lower hiding hole, no ladders needed anywhere. Also, the very top piece (and a long screw with a wingnut on it) seemed to be a bit of a mystery until I realized that it serves as an expansion piece so the whole construction can be tightened up against the ceiling (8 feet ceiling) which severely improves overall stability of it. I also switched a few pieces around (middle platform with a basket) to what I thought the cats will like better, it's quite doable. I'd give it 5 if it wasn't for horrible assembly instructions. BTW, if you're dead set to not buy "Made in China" stuff, this IS made in China, I was disappointed but not surprised. It took about 1/2 hour to assemble, fits nicely in the corner of their room. The rope isn't sisal but looks like manilla rope. The cats (three 3-months siblings, one 5-moths old) like it and use it for scratcher posts. Would I buy again? Probably not but only because it's made in China. I'd build something similar myself instead (I am relatively comfortable with hand tools).

This is the worst tree I have ever bought, it fell on my wifes head when my cat jumped on it because its design is defective, the part that connects to the ceiling is so poorly made that you can't attach it securely to the ceiling, and in turn, the base is so thin that if it isn't attached to the top, it just will fall and crash to the ground. It severely hurt my wife and when I contacted the seller to tell them that I would not keep the product, they told me that I would have to send them a picture of the defective part, when the defective part was their design. They were vile and accused me of trying to get an item for free, when I was just trying to get a return label, I even told them that I would try another design, but they were the worst and I beg anyone to try the many other manufacturers that make quality cat trees and that stand behind their products, but I have never had any experience like this from any seller on Amazon in the 12 years that I have been with them.Best Deals for GoPetClub "Jungle GYM" Cat Tree Furniture Condo Bed House Pet
My Kitties love it... The directions sucked but my man can put anything together so no biggie! Much cheaper than getting this at the pet store, thou it would be more awesome if it were covered in actual carpet like the more expensive ones instead of furry cloth but you get what you pay for! I'm Def. happy with it!Honest reviews on GoPetClub "Jungle GYM" Cat Tree Furniture Condo Bed House Pet
Like the last reviewer, the instructions are a bit deceiving. After 10 extra minutes of correcting the mistakes I made,it was fairly easy to put together. The cats are a bit afraid of it for now, but I think they will love it when they get used to this new thing in their home. Well worth the money spent. The box it came in was also questionable. You see the dimensions of the condo, and it comes in this smallish box and you think,"Where's box 2?????" But, it's all in there!!! Will futher report the likings of the condo from the tenants when they get used to it.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for GoPetClub "Jungle GYM" Cat Tree Furniture Condo Bed House Pet
Overall satisfied.Not particularly keen on the nicotine-stain gold color.
Instructions are easy to follow if paid close attention to detail, just be sure to have the condos and the base facing the right ways or you'll be taking the whole thing apart again to fix any one thing put together wrong.
The ladders had to come off, otherwise it would be very difficult for the cats to traverse up and down or lay on top of the condos.
At first none of the cats would have anything to do with it, a little cat nip solved that instantly.
And, I found it useful to reverse the order of the platform and basket by the second tier condo by putting the platform below the basket contrary to the instructions having the platform above the basket. This makes it much easier for cats to move from the top of the second condo downward, otherwise there's nothing to step down onto without jumping to the floor.
