4. Mount Hammocks and Perches: Install the extra-large metal frame hammock and the round basket. Attach the spacious top perch.
5. Install Feeding Bowl: Place the feeding bowl in its designated position above the bottom condo.
6. Apply Anti-slip Mats: Affix the three anti-slip mats to prevent slipping when cats climb.
7. Add Plush Cushions: Insert the soft plush cushions into the condos.
8. Attach Dangling Toys: Secure any dangling toys, such as the replaceable pompom, to the designated areas.

Refer to the detailed diagrams in your physical instruction manual for specific screw placements and component orientation.
