I'm looking for a cat tree for my cats. I have a room I am giving them and want to start with a good tree. Needs to be online prefer free shipping. Thank you for any recommendations!
Hi, may I ask how is your Vesper cat tree? I am considering getting one.Please do post a picture of your cat tree oonawingedwolf
I just bought a cat tree this month which is this one Vesper Cat Furniture. It's the tallest one available in that brand and looks stylish/modern. Most importantly, no complaints from my cat!

Hi! So I bought the Vesper High Base back in January of this year. After two months, the first two scratch posts on the bottom came undone. It isn't glued or taped, just tightly wound -- not a match for any cat who likes to scratch/keep their paws sharp. When I tried to purchase the posts separately (separate parts are expensive imo!), I had trouble with their customer service. It turns out that they have different versions of the same parts. So in order for me to get the right ones, I'd have to undo the tree and build it again -- which is a pain. And their return policy kinda sucks. Their instruction manual is TERRIBLE and had to resort to a youtube video review (thank god!). It took close to two hours to assemble when I feel it should have only taken an hour.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jasmine. I'm glad to hear Sylvester adjusted well though. Its hard to see them sad too.Hi all! Sorry I have not been on in a while. Jasmine got out and was hit by a car. We moved shortly after that. Sadly Jasmine passed away from her injuries. Sylvester did not mourn long. I think he is happy being an only cat. He gets his choice of the towers on the tree to sleep on ha. He adores is and uses it every day. We often find him sleeping on one of the raised platforms. Right now though he is curled up with us on the couch.
Thank you very much for the detailed review!!! Yeah I noticed that many people had the same problem with scratch posts as well, and that is what makes me hesitated. I really really love how the tree looks though.Hi! So I bought the Vesper High Base back in January of this year. After two months, the first two scratch posts on the bottom came undone.

It isn't as stable as I'd like. When my cat jumps from the top of the cubby hole to the very top flat bed, it wiggles a bit. I definitely suggest putting it next to a wall. The beds are very soft but dirty easily. I spot clean it though. The small circular post on top of the cubby hole doesn't get used. My cat doesn't like the feel of it.
Aside from that, I am happy with my purchase because my cat LOVES it. He is mostly in the cubby hole, especially when he wants to be left alone. Around midnight, you can find him on the top flat bed. For some reason he's never used the flat bed on the bottom. I actually feed him on top of the cubby hole because of my dog. It's a tight fit but manageable.
Sorry for the long post, but you wanted a review! LOL
