I worked with metal studs with the help of an installer and the requested hardware in shipping. I emailed Elexis an embarrassing amount of times with questions and her response is very helpful. Between the unboxing/inventory, pre-assembly, install, and re-evaluation of the furniture, it was certainly a process, but one very worth the investment! I have 5 cats and all together 5 pieces from Catastrophic Creations. I live in a small apartment so I especially wanted to take advantage of vertical space. Over the past two months the furniture itself is durable and can withstand daily use with a minor setback with screws coming loose from the wall. This was fixed with zip togglers provided by an install service. I am still in the process of getting all of the studs fastened down in this fashion. I like that the store has extra replacement pieces, the diversity of the furniture offers all of my cats satisfaction from boredom. All of them used it right away. Future consideration should include 3D modular configuration software that would have allowed for the pieces to move around and applied to a "see how it looks on your wall" before purchase. I had a real hard time visualizing how to create my own design outside of the suggested templates without going over on space while also keeping it functional. All in all, a great unique find that enhaces the quality of life to our home! Thank you, Catastrophic Creations!

Finally with the addition of the Lift, my heavier-set cat can access the playground! It gave her the confidence to continue exploring all the way to the top. Hopefully she will play on it like the others and start losing weight.

I bought this several months ago as my Little Girl loves high places. It took some figuring out, as my installation was somewhat unique. I had to use a backer-board becuase of a cathedral ceailing built with trusses, but that just made installation easier -- no hunting for studs. :) She loves it. I had to make a minor modification to what is shown in the setup pic; I just added an additional landing so that it gave them a shelf between the post and the wall to the left. It's visible in the all three pic.
And, now that I've moved a higher cat tower under the upright scratching post, my 3-legged Gypsy girl is also enjoying it. Even the I-don't-really-know-how-to-climb Leo is using it!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for choosing our product! -Elexis
Our kittens enjoy climbing the tree, and we enjoy having a spot to put their food where our resident old man can't steal it.
I had some issues mounting it, which were mainly user error - issues with screws stripping as another review mentioned (mostly fixed by drilling deeper pilot holes), and difficulties getting the mounts level (they seem to sag a bit at the end not attached to the wall).
Mounting difficulties aside, the fully assembled cat tree is sturdy, the cats seem to enjoy it, and we enjoy seeing them clambering around - I am already conspiring to add more wall-mounted cat furniture to other rooms.
Hi there!

We hope to see you again soon for more wall-mounted cat furniture! Feel free to reach out if there is anything we can do for you! -Elexis
I easily hung five of these on my wall. They are sturdy and my cats love to sit on them.
Hi there!

This piece is so beautiful and well crafted, it’s more of a conversation piece than a cat toy. It really catches your attention when entering the room and adds sophistication to the layout. I stripped a **** in the bracket on the end of the hammock and support promptly sent out another bracket with very easy to follow instructions on how to replace that part. Overall I’m very happy with these pieces, it was money very well spent and I plan on getting more pieces for my two furry freeloaders who’s names are Jack and Rose 😻😻
