Safety Information

This product is designed for indoor use by cats and small animals weighing up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Any other use is strictly prohibited and voids all warranties.
This is not a load-bearing structure for humans. Do not stand, sit, lean, climb, or allow children to interact with this product in any unintended way.


Placement: Use on flat, stable, and dry indoor surfaces. Keep away from extreme temperatures, high-humidity areas, and intense heat; do not place near open flames or fireplaces. Place at least 3 inches (8 cm) from walls to prevent marks or bumps and protect both the product and surrounding surfaces.


Supervision & Maintenance: Regularly inspect all components for signs of wear, cracking, deformation, or loosening. Do not use if any parts appear loose, damaged, or compromised.
- Retighten construction dowels as needed. Do not over-tighten, as this may cause cracking or material damage.
- Do not remove or unscrew any metal screws from the bases or resters. Unscrewing these components, even once, may compromise structural integrity and void your warranty.
- Failure to maintain this product properly may result in injury or product failure.


Cleaning: Do not use solvents, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials, which may degrade surfaces or compromise material integrity.

Shipping & Returns

Proprietary Geometry That Keeps the Rope Tight

The column’s internal geometry is engineered to maintain consistent rope tension, preventing sagging or loosening over time. Each wrap locks cleanly into place, creating a firm, reliable grip surface that feels stable and secure with every climb. It’s a quiet design detail that delivers long-term performance.

Rigid, High-Strength Structure

Built from engineered polymer and reinforced with an internal hardwood framework, the short column remains structurally solid under daily feline activity. This hybrid composition minimizes flex and ensures the column stays straight, strong, and dependable in any configuration.

3D Printed in the U.S. With Internal Wood Reinforcement

Each column is precision 3D printed in the U.S., allowing complex internal reinforcement patterns paired with solid hardwood supports. This combination creates a lightweight form with exceptional rigidity and longevity, designed for real-world use and multi-cat environments.

Reropeable With Unique Rope End Design

The column is fully re-ropeable, using a proprietary rope-end system that makes replacement clean and straightforward. When the rope eventually wears, it can be refreshed at home following the dedicated reroping guide (see video). This ensures long-term usability without replacing the entire column.
