Disappointing

I was very excited to get this tower for my two cats even though it's pretty expensive. But as other cat owners I'm sure would understand, I wanted to give my cats some vertical space in a mid-size apartment while getting something that looks like furniture, not just cats scratching pad. Well, in real life this tower is not as elegant as on the picture but comes close. The assembly was pretty easy but I had a few defective parts. First, one of the supporting brackets under the horizontal shelf was missing a female screw, that should be inside of it. Second, the screws that suppose to hold the tower to its base do not work at all - when trying to move the tower, the base just falls off. It also came with a big scratch/chip on the top horizontal shelf. I'm really considering returning it b/c this is just unacceptable for such a high priced product. My only reservation is that my cats seem to really like it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the lotus cat tower for two 4 month old kittens, and so far, so good! It was 1/2 price and had free shipping, so was priced on par to the carpet covered towers, but is much prettier! The cats like the shelves and the scratching area, but haven't yet discovered the cubby (but it has been a good place to store cat toys!).
The cat tower was fairly straightforward to put together, but I do recommend an electric screwdriver over the one included. You may also want to supplement the dowels with wood glue for extra sturdiness. The adjustable legs make it easy to get it level as well.
And I love that it complements my decor in addition to being a fun for the cats!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The refined feline lotus tower cat tree is great. The construction and how it looks in my living room is wonderful. It was easy to assemble and who ever designed it had it all together. Great job! Now, I'm waiting for my kitty to enjoy it. I hope she likes it as much as we do.

I was very disappointed in the stability. It feels wobbly and cheap-not what I was expecting after spending so much

Cat loves the tree. She uses the top platform for sleeping and the lower ones for cackling at the birds outside.

This is the best cat tree ever. It is like a sculpture in our living room. Our two cats love it. It is sturdy, easily assembled. They sit on it, play on it, scratch it, sleep in it. Highly recommend this product. It is pricey but worth every penny. Hope this helps with your decision. We love it!!

Very good, but over priced

This product does look great and it is very sturdy. I have two young cats that jump up and down it all day every day and it only sways side to side a bit, but no risk of falling over. I do think the price is a bit crazy, but if you have the money to spend you won't regret it! The cats love to scratch up all the rug that covers the different steps and top, but I just trimmed the fringes with scissors and it's fine. They don't really use the bottom hide out though, it just became more of a toy storage. They really utilized the scratcher on the side of the tree. Cats scratched up the wood a little too. Afterall, it is a toy for them so you can't expect them to not rough it up a bit. Great quality and looks so much better than the carpet ones in my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!
