The Refined Espresso Kitty Ball Bed

I really like the look of this. So far my cats have explored it but none have slept in it. I still have hope. Maybe I need to spray it with tuna scent!

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality, sturdy.

My two cats love taking turns in this (13 lbs and 9 lbs) and slap-fighting while one sits in it and one stands on the ground (on her hind legs). I'm considering purchasing a second one for another room. Assembly is simple and quick - one screw secures the ball to the base. The plastic smell dissipated in a day or two. The only issue seems to be with the cushion, which was too light and slides out from under them - I have replaced it for now with a braided mat.

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The pillow appears bigger in the picture than the one I received.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Doesn't seem to mention that this is a sort of plastic imitation wicker, which is fine.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good mid-range (think ikea) level furniture, much better than most cat furniture.

We just took in a stray 4 month old kitten who is VERY rambunctious and I was looking for something that my 5 year old beast of a cat could have a place to call her own. This fit the bill Perfectly. The only things that I wasn't a fan of were the strong plastic smell fresh out of the packaging and the little pillow that came with the bed. Thankfully the smell went away in few days, however I have opted out of the small pillow and replaced it instead with a soft blanket. The pillow would squish almost flat and had nothing to keep it into place so any time she moved it would slide and she would run off. I can hardly get her out of there now. I think it's safe to say we are both extremely pleased with the purchase. :)

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Its not as wood-toned as the picture makes it seem but its dark enough that you wouldn't notice it until you got close to it.

I'm so happy I purchased this for my cat, as a way to encourage him to sleep someplace other than my couches. The base is very sturdy- my cat is rather large and can hop in and out without the bed wobbling. My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that when you first take it out of the box, the varnish smell is very strong. I had to let it air out for an afternoon before kitty would approach it. I think it's a really classy looking piece of furniture that's well worth the price!
