It was fairly easy to construct. My cat took a while to warm up to the space but now happily can be found there on the regular. My cat does not use the scratching things so I can’t comment on how those work.

Looks great. The scratchers kind of move around in the grooves when the cats scratch it, so it’s loud. But other than that it’s a good table.

I couldn't be happier with this beautiful end table from The Refined Feline! Not only does it provide my cat with the perfect cozy spot to curl up for a nap, but it also functions as a stylish end table in my living room. It's a total win-win! The design is fantastic—it's an elegant end table with a hidden cat bed that gives Big Tuna his own little lair. I love that it doubles as both a functional piece of furniture for me and a private space for my cat. The two curved sisal panels on the side provide plenty of scratching area, so Big Tuna has a designated spot to scratch (without ruining my furniture!). This keeps both him and my living space happy.

Made well and looks nice in my family room. Kittens have not yet taken to the scratching pads, but will have inside. Top shelf has good storage. Know where you want your shelf before you finish assembling. Shelf cannot be move once top piece goes on!

I still haven't gotten the top secured yet. This part needs serious improvement. The four parts that make up the sides are not aligning properly at the top. For this reason the screws are not coming down far enough to secure the fasteners that attach the sides to the top. It does have a strong odor, too. However, my cat started going into the nook right away. It's a small victory when your cat actually likes the thing you bought!
