Furhaven Multi-Level Cardboard Cat Condo w/ Catnip for Indoor Cats, Ft. Scratching Pads & Toys - High Castle Tower Corrugated Cat Scratcher Hideout - Cardboard Brown, One Size

Once easily assembled this is a sturdy playhouse for cats. An opening makes it easy for them to go from the bottom level to the top. You can opt to put a "floor" in place to make another niche. I used another piece of sturdy cardboard to do that. The "scratching surface" cardboard floors come with the house and are often used. It's well ventilated with windows and doors. Not meant for outdoor use but has proven quite lasting in our home. We've had it for several years, used by three cats. Over time we've learned that providing plenty of scratching posts and mats completely solves furniture scratching. For play, for naps, for a private getaway, our cats give this three paws up.

We have 10-month-old kittens and one of them loves to chew cardboard. We bought another house that he chewed completely through until the roof collapsed in about 30 days! Lol. This house is made very well. He does chew on the edge of the roof, but has not managed to chew through it and we’ve had it for over a month! It’s easy to put together. Each cardboard piece has a number that’s etched in the cardboard that matches to the instructions. You have to look for it It looks good in the room and it’s very sturdy. The entire floor is a scratching pad as well as the upper level “porch area”. There’s an opening between the top and bottom floor for them to climb through too. We highly recommend this house!

My cat loves it! He's about 11 pounds and fits nicely into each cubby. He loves to sleep in it. I moved it from inside to outside under the covered porch so he can be up high and safe as we live in the country and dogs always find their way to the house. Watch the video on youtube, forget the instructions. The instructions are terrible, The cardboard numbers are perforated on the sides and it took me forever to find them. I had it put together in no time after watching the video. I did hot glue some of the tabs so it was was easier to flip around during assembly. It's sturdy as heck but I did put a weight in the bottom cubby and secure it to the wall since it's outside. It was pricey, but well worth it since he practically lives in it when he's outside. I feel good even tho it's card board it's thick and seems like it should last a while. Also, the scratcher boards... just figure out which platform they go to and they fit snugly. I left the very top scratchers off since he went surfing after zoomy up to the top.

Numbers on the instructions and what is on the cardboard do not match up. It could've been a nightmare to put together but work smarter and take one side of the castle wall and build from that. Look at the photo and simply build the levels by the picture.The cardboard is not thick. What makes the structure sturdy is the entire unit being built and the balanced weight.I would not recommend this for heavier kitties more than 15 lbs. You will need to affix the structure to a wall or something heavy in order for it to be sturdy. My bigger cats will not climb it due to the movement.I would recommend for kittens and cats under 10 lbs so long as you secure it to a wall or something heavy.

Purchased exactly one year ago and still holding up incredibly well. The cats love it, it's lightweight but sturdy, and it looks good. Easy but a little time-consuming to assemble and I assume it will be even easier to disassemble down the road.

My cats love this cardboard house. It’s easy to assemble and much more durable than I thought it would be. Some friends and I got creative and decorated it. We just used markers, but I’m sure some people could create real masterpieces out of this. Fun for us and fun for the kitties as well. My kitties love the scratchy boards that come with this, it’s also very light weight and easy to move from room to room. The instructions are very simple, everything is pre-cut, even the windows, where you just pop out the cardboard. Totally worth the price and so much better than if I would’ve tried to make this myself out of cardboard boxes.

Pros and cons. I'll start with the cons first:1. Expensive. It's pretty pricy.2. The pieces are labeled wrong and don't match the instructions. Fortunately, the graphics in the instructions can help you through. For the price, I'd like it to be easier to assemble.Pros:1. The cats love this thing. Seriously, it gets more use than their other cat stuff. One of my girls pretty much lives in this thing.2. Once you get it assembled. It's pretty sturdy and the first one I had lasted 3 months before I decided to toss it. I wasn't going to spend the money on another one but the cat's missed it.3. Comes with a lot of extra scratch pads which I've been able to put into smaller boxes for them to enjoy.It's a good product but it is pretty large so if you live in a small apartment like I do, it takes up some real estate and it's not the prettiest thing to look at. I do recommend not putting the very top piece on if you don't need it. I have mine set up next to one of their tall cat trees and they jump between the two and caved in the the "roof" on the first day. LOL This is one of those "gotcha" products that are marketed to pet owners. You don't want it but then you see how much they love it and....Gotcha! I recommend this product for sure.
