Follow these steps carefully to assemble your cat tree. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Refer to the package contents list to ensure all pieces are present.
- Attach Base: Begin by attaching the longest scratching posts to the baseboard using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure they are firmly secured.
- Build Lower Levels: Connect the first set of platforms and the cat condo to the posts. Follow the diagram to ensure correct orientation.
- Install Middle Levels: Continue adding posts and platforms, including the soft basket, working your way upwards.
- Attach Top Perch: Secure the top perch to the uppermost post.

- Check Stability: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the tree's stability.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the cat tree for signs of wear and tear, especially on the scratching posts and hanging toys. Replace worn parts as necessary to ensure safety and functionality.
