Wow! I am completely blown away by not only the phenomenal quality of the product, but the purchasing/shipping process and customer service from Hilde & Phil. The Cat-e-Corner is an investment that looks stunning and provides the highest level of functionality you’d want from a product. When I removed it from the shipping box, I noticed how incredible well packed it was, noting that there was clearly thought and care put into the shipping decisions. Shortly after I began assembling the item, I audibly said to my self “wow, this is an incredibly well made product, one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever assembled — and I have assembled A LOT of furniture in my life”. Ever screw, dowel, steel reinforcement bar (yes, it is steel reinforced), and lip fit together like a glove with no “maneuvering” or “jerry rigging” needed to “make it work”. The directions were clear and concise, with the assembly process taking around 30 minutes. Once assembled, I moved the Cat-e-Corner into place and VOILA… my furry little guy took RIGHT TO IT! It is incredibly sturdy, does not budge with vigorous use by my very strong adult cat, and serves as a beautiful end cap to my sofa. The ledge allows for a lamp and any other decor, without worrying about it getting knocked or rocked over. I have since had friends visit as well as the carpenter who built my custom sofa that the Cat-e-Corner protects, visit my home… they have all been floored at how functional and stunning the Cat-e-Corner is. It takes quite a bit to impress me and cause enough of an impact for me to write an online review, but this was a no brainer. Cat owners need to know about this amazing piece of craftsmanship and understand that it is worth the investment ten times over!
Absolutely beautiful. High quality workmanship. Highly recommend them. My cats love the scratch pads.
