The Lotus Cat Tower not only provides the cats with tons of entertainment and places to nap/comfortably spread out - which is a feature that many cat trees do not have - it is also a great looking piece of furniture. The cats were occasionally catching their claws on the carpeted areas so I ordered the Lotus Platform cushion set from the retailer. The cats now love to comfortably jump from level to level and they also have a great vantage point for looking out the window.
Immediately upon unpacking the box, I realized that the Cat tower was not like ordinary cat trees. It is well made and very sturdy. The tree was easy to put together and they included a Phillips head screwdriver. It actually took me longer to clean off the tiny styrofoam pieces from the tower. I know I'm being nitpicky, but I wish they had not used sytrofoam sheets to pack the tree, it is a pain cleaning the mess the pieces that break off the sheet.
The cats use all the levels including the little cubby hole at the bottom. I have a shorter cat tree next to it and they're constantly jumping from one to the other. The Cat Tower is well worth the cost as it is an elegant piece of furniture that fits into most decors. I do recommend trading out the carpeted levels for the cushion set. It makes the Cat Tower look even more beautiful and gives that cats a much softer and comfortable place to sleep.
**Update**
The cats enjoy the Lotus Cat tree so much that I've purchased a second one for the office. As both cats love high places, it is not unusual for one to be on the top of one while the other is on top of the 2nd tree.

Beautiful piece of cat "furniture", but where are the replacement pads/covers?
After many years of buying (and replacing) those hideous carpet covered monstrosities (including making our own), my husband and I decided to purchase the Refined Lotus Cat Tower in Espresso in Jan 2019. It is a fabulous piece of furniture and I do mean "furniture". It sits in the living room with our Ekornes furniture and looks like part of the set.The cushion covers unzip, the carpet pads come off, and you can machine wash the carpet pads (if you have a washing machine with a hand wash cycle). Note: this is my personal experience and I cannot make this claim for any other washing machine. If concerned, always follow what the manufacturer recommends.About a year ago, we brought into our home a Balinese kitten and he recently showed great interest in the tower and started perching on it. In the past, the tower was used by another cat and we had sprinkled catnip on the pads. The Balinese is a bit unusual in that he is very sensitive to catnip. Normally, he is very loving and playful. But if exposed to catnip, he hisses, growls, swats, and attempts to bite. This is when we found you could wash the carpet pads. However, the catnip smell apparently remained after machine washing and sun drying the pads, cushions, and covers. Whether the catnip smell remains permanently in the pads or in the wood, I have yet to find out, as Amazon does not seem to offer the replacement pads. (Turns out I had to go directly to the Refined Feline website to order the pads and they were quite reasonable and shipped quickly - Christmas 2020 hint: check there for sales!)One other comment, the price. When I purchased this 22 months ago, it was $330 and it has since increased to $400. Is it worth $330? definitely and it is still worth $400 (watch who you buy from). In six to seven years, you will spend around that much on decent carpet versions ($50 - $70 each), not be able to clean them, and then throw them away in six to twelve months if you are fastidious. Meanwhile, the Lotus will still be beautiful and functional. It is hard to find any other cat "furniture" out there that is of similar quality and style.So kudos to The Refined Lotus, you made a beautiful and lasting product!Amazon? Please stock those replacement parts!.The price? Your decision.picture 1 - after 22 months - hidden until new pads are foundpicture 2 - only damage to one corner of pad, catnip nibblerpicture 3 - King Rufus on his throne (with a new pad!)

Assembly was straight forward.
The cat doesn't use the cubby hole, or the padded cushion above the cubby hole... so it's been relegated to cat toy storage. Scratching pads at each level are a plus, he uses those. He does not use the one on the side... can't win 'em all.
Our cat is 12 pounds and when he jumps up to the top the tree wobbles and shakes a bit.
We kept our old tree in the garage just in case he didn't like this Lotus Cat Tree. It took about 2 weeks for him to adjust. I was worried the whole time thinking I just wasted four bills on a cat tree he hates. However, once he figured out the new method of getting to the top quickly he seems to enjoy it now... well he has no choice, we donated the other cat tree.
Overall I think we are both happy now.

Looks a bit more sophisticated, as far as cat trees go.

We had a white fuzzy cat tree that we got from a local pet store, it was okay, our cat never really did anything on it except scratch the sisal pole and climb to the top most platform to nap. Lots of wasted tree real estate. The old fuzzy tree looked out of place in our living room too, it was time for an upgrade. When I saw this Lotus Cat Tower I thought this might be a good compromise if we were going to keep a cat tree in the living room. The color is okay, would have preferred a more walnut option. It made from real wood, not particle board, so that's a plus.Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020
