This took my husband and I about an hour to install. Parts on instructions did not match naming convention on parts bags/wrap. In addition, there are parts included not even mentioned in the instructions. It’s as if they updated needed parts but failed to update the instruction book that came with leading to uninstall and reinstall. Cat seems pleased for now but not fully on board with bridge. Seems wildly overpriced.
Hi Jennifer,
Sorry for the poor experience with the furniture. I do have a thought about your bridge that I wanted to share. Could you please have a look at this video? https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/51691144?key=3cd3cbff17afe47e63d6ec34954a130b
Thanks,

This is an add on purchase to the climb combo. My baby is still very little and sleeps with me every night so far. She does like climbing up high and looking at the area. I am sure she will love this bed when she gets older.
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that your little one is enjoying the climb combo. They are adorable! We hope that she will also love the Cat Nest Bed as she gets older. Feel free to reach out if there is anything we can do for you! -Elexis
Hi Leila, thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that our scratching pole segments worked well for creating steps between your other cat wall pieces. We appreciate your support and hope your furry friend enjoys their new setup. -Elexis
I bought this as a way for my cat, Socks, to get from her cat tree to the cat wall and to try to prevent her from scratching on the hammock part of the cat wall like she had been doing. After it was installed she immediately started scratching on it and has used it to get from the cat tree to her wall hammock. It looks beautiful and is very sturdy.
Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for your kind review. We're thrilled to hear that our Slanted Cat Scratcher has been a hit with Socks and has helped prevent her from scratching on the hammock part of the cat wall. They are adorable! We pride ourselves on creating sturdy and aesthetically pleasing products, so we're glad to know that it has met your expectations. Thank you for choosing our product and for being a loyal customer. -Elexis
Return customer here. Shipping is fast, items are high quality, packaged carefully, and come with plenty of detailed instructions and most of the tools you need. Install can be tricky - you absolutely need 2 people and should measure four times, but it’s all worth it for the cat!
I have 2 Devon's. The one that I thought would love it, does. However, the other one is scared of it? I think that once he sees Lena on it, he will get curious. The furniture is very well built and sturdy. I will eventually build it out more once they get used to the current configuration.
Hi there!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Wall Mounted Cat Climbing Pole. We're glad to hear that one of your cats is enjoying it already!

Our product is built to last and we're happy to know that you're planning on expanding it for your feline family. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we're here to help! -Elexis
These are our least favorite purchase from Catastrophic Creations. They do not hold up to the cats’ weight and as time goes on they sag on the unsupported side. We have plaster walls which may be our problem. We are considering replacing these or shoring them up.

This was purchased along with several other pieces from Catastrophic Creations. This piece has become a coveted spot among our three cats for cat naps. We placed this half way up the wall at perfect “petting height” as part of a sequence of steps to get to a bridge. All the pieces look great in our home.

We hope that our product has added a touch of fun and comfort to your home. Thank you for choosing Catastrophic Creations! -Elexis
We ordered the 50” bridge. Installation was challenging for us because we have plaster walls but we eventually figured it out. Only one of our three cats is crossing the bridge currently. He lays on it to hang out, takes toys up there. The other two are very curious and I believe will investigate soon. It looks so cool in our home, everyone comments on it. We purchased several other pieces from Catastrophic Creations and another seller. All three cats play and sleep on them.
Hi Meghan! Thank you so much for your kind review. We're glad to hear that the installation process was figured out and that your cat is already enjoying the bridge. It's always exciting to see cats explore and use our products- they are adorable! We hope your other two curious kitties will join in on the fun soon. Thank you for choosing Catastrophic Creations and we're happy to hear that our products are receiving compliments in your home. -Elexis
We have built this cat wall in stages as we learned what worked for our cats - 2 Siberian Forest Cats at ages 8 (23 lbs - tux) and 7 (21 lbs - flame point)! It took a bit of time for them to feel confident about the wall, but after a year or so we finally finished phase two (right hand side) and they love the wall. We are impressed with the quality of the components, and as you may notice this is installed on the enclosed "Carolina room" so the exterior is actually Hardie plank as it was designed for the exterior of the house. The only modification we made was to lengthen the base screws to 2.5"! To date the posts, self brackets, and shelves are solid with plenty of strength support for our large cats as they jump from higher to lower levels. If you are really looking for a serious cat wall, look no further!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that our Floating Cat Step for Wall has become a beloved playground for your two Siberian Forest Cats. It's great to hear that the quality of the components has impressed you and that the modifications you made have worked well for your setup. We strive to create products that are both functional and durable, so it's fantastic to know that our cat wall has met your expectations.

Hi Robin,

As soon as the bottom platform was partially attached my cat started climbing. I’m so impressed with the quality of the components and hardware (even the screws are robust)!
I was skeptical of other reviews that said it was easy to install because the instructions looked confusing online. But when I had the pieces in front of me, it all made sense..
Hi Sarah!

Well built, good looking shelf. It took my cat a couple of weeks to get used to it and now she loves spending time on it
These shelves are pretty good. I have had a set for over a year and they are still holding up. I decided to get another set to help my cats get up to their loft.
Hi there, thank you for leaving a review for our Wall Mounted Cat Shelves! We are happy to hear that they have been holding up well for over a year and have been helpful for your cats. Your set up lookss great! We appreciate your continued support and hope you and your feline friends enjoy the loft even more with the additional set of shelves. -Elexis
We had ordered the three tier sisal pole without a leaf initially hoping one of our cats would learn to climb up it. After a week she still hadn’t quite got it and we needed two ways up for both the cats so we made this addition. It has been a great because now both the cats can use that way to get up. We have Ragdolls and they’re fairly long cats and they are still able to fully stretch out and claw the pole even with the leaf added.
We love the modular system and we can’t wait to keep adding onto it.
Hi there,
Thank you for your kind feedback on our Scratching Pole Shelves. We're glad to hear that the addition of the shelves has been a great solution for both of your cats to use as a way to get up. Your set up is looking great! We're also happy to know that the modular system is working well for you and your Ragdolls. Thank you for choosing our product and for your support. -Elexis
The cat play paradise is beautiful aesthetically and our cats love lounging on it. After a few minor user error issues with trying to hang it up, we got the hang of it and it was super easy to install. The kitties took a little while to warm up to it and we ended up making a few adjustments but three weeks in and they are up there daily. It has even given our more shy cat more confidence. It did take them a couple of times falling off the side (while we spotted them) but they’re much better at traversing it all now.
Beware that once you get started with these you will constantly be thinking of new additions.
I have 5 cats. Half are large in size. They love the first wall we have put up and we intend to do another wall. Extremely sturdy and durable!!
Hi Jeanette! Thank you for sharing your experience with our Horizontal Scratching Post for Cats. We're so glad to hear that your furry friends are loving it and that it's holding up well for your larger cats. We hope the additional wall will be just as satisfying for them. Thank you for choosing our product! -Elexis
This replaced a standard flat perch. She looks and acts very comfortable and has become one of her favorite spots. It just naturally seems to cradle her.

I ordered this for a Christmas gift for my son the first week in December. About a week before Christmas, this company contacted me and said they were out of what I ordered. They gave me a bunch of other options, none of which worked for the plan I had to I asked to cancel the entire order. Then magically, they found one in the warehouse? I confirmed via email "it will be slotted? I need it to go around a corner?" And was answered YES! My son opened it on Christmas; It wasn't slotted. However, they took care of it right away and got the right item sent out and a pre-paid shipping label to send back the wrong one. Ultimately, this set-up is awesome. It's so sturdy and stable. This is 9-10 feet off the ground and connects to the pole we've had for years around the corner. We threw some treats up there initially, Now they are up there often. They use both the shelf and hammock. This company has very good, prompt communication. I had a question about replacing parts of the sissal scratching posts and they quickly responded with directions and affordable replacement parts. I am NOT handy, and the thought of hanging this was STRESSFUL. But they make it totally doable and it turned out great! I won't order cat climbing stuff from anywhere else because this is high quality and stable.

The product came so fast! The pieces and overall look of the pole is beautiful. Including the drill bit and level with all the pieces was so helpful. Thank you!
I absolutely love how beautiful this piece is, it's elegant but more importantly it's sturdy! This feels very safe and my wild boys love it. I cannot wait to get more pieces!

It's always a pleasure to know that our products are making a positive impact in the lives of our furry friends. Your setup looks great! Thank you for choosing our brand and for your support! -Elexis
Purchased the cat perch for my Maine Coon as a step up to the shelf. He weighs in at 20 pounds. After a few months of use I can report that I feel the perch is stable. He actually bounds up the perch to the shelf. It does give a little, but that's probably a good thing. I did reinforce with a 1x4 board and longer screws to reach through to the stud. Not saying it's necessary. But because of his weight I felt it couldn't hurt. I love the shelf and the design. Very good quality. Easy to install!
Hi Rocco! Thank you so much for your kind review. We're thrilled to hear that your Maine Coon is loving the new perch and that it's able to support his weight. We're glad you're enjoying the design and quality of the product. Thanks for choosing our cat perch! -Elexis
Purchased the cat nest bed for my Maine Coon. He is currently weighing in at 20 pounds and 14 months old. I had my reservations about the shelf because of his size. After a few months of use my concerns are gone. The quality of the shelf is great. The design is unique and thoughtful. The slotted shelf makes it easy to install if your studs aren't perfectly even. I was able to install them myself with no issues. The shelf appears to be very stable. I will add that I added a 1x4 to the wall across the length of the shelf. I feel that would add extra strength to the shelf. And then I used longer screws so it could reach through to the studs. I love the shelf and would order again.
Hi Rocco! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Cat Nest Bed. We're so happy to hear that your Maine Coon is loving it and that it's able to support his size.
