The next issue was the the instructions for attaching the caged ball on top of the structure are wrong. It tells you to use a short bolt instead of a long bolt to attach it to the post below. Well, the short bolt doesn't fit. This wouldn't be much of a problem except that they don't include any spare parts, so I had to call General Cage again. They were helpful again, and agreed that the instructions for the product are crappy. (They do not manufacture the product, they simply import it)
The furniture itself is nice looking, though I wish the tent in the middle were a solid house rather than a fabric tent. I don't think it'll take too long for my cat to claw it to shreds. It's not very stable, when my cat's on the top perch it wobbles a lot. It doesn't seem like it'll actually tip over, and he's already jumped from a table directly onto the top perch, but he looks like he's in an earthquake when he's up there. It doesn't seem to bother him that much though, so I may just add a board under the base to give it some more stability. He loves the furry balls, which is amazing since catnip does absolutely nothing for him. The scratching posts are nice too, and allows him to fully stretch out. Finally, the platforms do offer him enough room to lay down on though they would be a little small for a 15 20 pound cat.
I bought it for $80, I wouldn't pay more than that for it, and it's simply the hassle of returning it and trying something else sight unseen that keeps me from sending it back. My cat uses it, it's tall, and the platforms are large enough, and in Hawaii there aren't enough local choices to compare.

The cat treet arrived yesterday (all of the way to Hawaii). Must admit the assembly instructions could have been better. But trial and error worked just fine. All parts fit. Our cat is 9 lbs so wobbling has not concerned us. However, if it becomes an issue we will get a couple of cinder blocks, cover them with fabric and put them on the base for added stability. The scratching post feature seems to be a big hit. Our cat has not yet tried the second and third levels but it has only been 24 hours.I forsee lots of fun for our cat with this tree in the future.
