Cat Wall Shelves and Furniture Set with Condos, Perches, Bridge Ladders, Sisal Scratching Posts - Steps and Houses for Cats (B)

Despite others reviews, pieces are made correctly the instructions are just so minimal it's easy to get lost. If you do mockups by placing the boards together, you get 2 right boxes and 2 left boxes with all the cat heads in the correct positions. What messes ppl up, is that one box (with piece labeled "E") has the ability to attach to a scratch post. Ppl think you need 2 of piece "E" to create the right facing box, but that's not the case. There is only ONE "E" piece, it would have been nice had they just made them all piece "E" with the extra hole on all of them for however you wish to modify the set on the wall.It took me about 8 hours to put it all together and up, and that's not even all the pieces (my walls are smaller and shorter than I anticipated, but I planned on lengthening it along the hallway so extra pieces work out for me), so expect to do this over hours, if not days, unless you have someone helping you. It will really help if you have a drill and it does come with a hole making attachment for one. Also wise to plan and even modify the pieces as you see fit if you have the tools to do so bc the kit is somewhat limiting if you are doing your own design for the wall. (the kit is designed for the way it is set up in it's picture, but that requires a very high ceiling and LOTS of space) My machine tools broke near the end (they're old) so I will walk you thru how to do this without them; without hurting yourself.What you will need in addition to the kit:*Tape Measurer*Painters/masking tape*Johnson Level (short/small)*Hammer*Step Ladder*A Map or general gist of where you want things on the wall, especially if you are doing a custom set design.What will be helpful if you have machine tools:*#2 diamond screwhead attachment*Your OWN 3/16" Drill Hole Attachment (it already comes with one, but the harpoon head it has is too big for making custom holes for more scratch post options) if you really want it to be sturdy and not wiggle.1.) If over a sofa, measure where the top of the tallest person's head rests while sitting down, and then add a foot above it. Mark that measurement across the walls you are applying this kit to, and apply a long line of painter/masking tape at that measurement across the entire walls you are putting the kit on. You will not apply any of the kit below that tape line. This will keep claws from sinking into scalps when your cats got the zoomies.2.) After you have assembled all the kit pieces, and assuming you have your map, you are going to hold your lowest kit piece against the wall at the top of the Painters Tape you set. Place the Johnson Level on top of the kit piece, and shift until it's level.3) Then you're gonna take your screwdriver and dig into each hole real hard to mark the wall where the screws will go.4) Put the kit piece down and then Drill/Hammer the drill-hole attachment into the marked holes, be sure it's not all the way so you can pull it back out for each hole. I found it helped a lot to go in after with the screwdriver and just wiggle it around to smooth the hole out else the Anchors can warp/bend while trying to hammer them in. If you encounter wood and you don't have machine tools, I suggest adjusting the placement until you find all drywall for your holes.5) Now Hammer the Anchors into those holes.6) Put 2 screws in the top two holes of the kit piece and hold them flush with your thumbs while you line up and press them firmly into the screw holders in the wall.7) Screw those 2 screws just a bit to lock them in and then place the bottom 2 screws in. Screw them all in flush with the screwdriver in an 'X' pattern while somewhat lifting the kit piece up so it's not hanging on the screws while you screw them otherwise you're gonna have a bad time if doing it by hand.TIPS: If you're like me and think it'd be smart to keep the lids of the cat boxes off to have access... Don't. The lid keeps it all from coming apart at the seams and the screws ripping out of the wood, just put the whole box together and work with it as difficult as it is.Cats don't like things that aren't sturdy and will avoid the rope ladders, so you can skip them, or use them as a means to keep them from jumping down on you while still keeping to the aesthetic.My ceilings are short, but my cats actually are afraid of different level heights and will not go past certain points each even on the scratching cat tree that goes from floor to ceiling. I made sure my set was made to their specifications and in a way that encouraged them to play with each other at levels they both separately feel safe at. I'd highly suggest you figure out their boundaries else you will go thru all this trouble with half, if not more, going unused.

My cats love it

The drywall anchors do not work - you will have to get others.These are really sturdy shelves! Even though you have to assemble them, the pieces of wood are smooth and well cut. They’re plain and unfinished, so you could stain or paint them,My cat is only 10 lbs, so she isn't too heavy when she lands on them. They seem durable so far!

Pros: appearance is beautiful! Boxes and shelves themselves are very sturdy and easy to put together. Cat loves playing on it.Cons: the tops of the boxes and shelves are slick, so I had to buy sisal rope and carpet and spend HOURS working to make the shelves grippable for my cat's claws. If you skip this step, your cat will fall and not feel confident. The sturdiest way I found to accomplish this was using double sided sticky paper and hot glue, though an industrial glue would work as well, I'm sure.Also, I had to buy different drywall anchors because the ones in the box were not of good enough quality to have a pouncing cat on the weight of the shelves, and also because they did not fit my wall. EZ anchor makes a heavy duty toggle anchor that fits any wall that works well. My cat has been playing on the wall for a month and a half with no issues.In conclusion, this is a good base for a cat wall if you're willing to put in a lot of extra time and money to get the product you want.

These are very stable if you use the provided anchors. Instructions were simple but if you can assemble Ikea Furniture, you can assemble these shelves. Based on other reviews I did not install the rope bridge but ordered some stairs instead. I also glued some carpet squares to the top as other reviews mentioned the top being too slippery.Updated to add, last night both of my cats were in the cubby and it held them just fine.

Just received my order. Haven’t tried to assemble it yet. Pieces are missing from my order: the bridges, and a couple other pieces including the sisal posts. I’m concerned about putting it together since there are so many bad reviews about it falling out of the wall. Might have to get my own anchors and screws I guess but we’ll see. If it doesn’t go together well or falls out of the walls it will be going right back for a refund.

My daughter’s cats love these! The size was perfect for the cats to set on and lay on. I assembled them myself and my husband hung them on the wall. I will say it takes some time to assembly them but don’t get overwhelmed by all the pieces because it is pretty easy once you get started.
