Hi Everyone,

thanks for the positive feedback, I made the tree from the one featured in "girls of the playboy mansion" which my partner watches and wanted one. We couldn't find one in the UK so I built one. I regretted the "that looks easy to build" comment I made. We breed cats as well, everyone who sees the tree wants one, so I started saying I can make them if they were interested, turns out theyt were.

They are very very sturdy (which also means heavy) there are NO staples other than under the shelves tucked in. We have had ours for nearly 2 years and it is in the same shape as when i first built it. I am 6ft and 14 stone and go to the gym 4 times a week, I can throw my weight at it and pull on it hard and it is fine, nothing will move or come loose. We have about 4 tramps cat stands and they normally last about 1 year before they end up in the bin ruined which is why I said I could do a better job.

The carpet used is excellent quality, in fact it is better than what is in my house lol...

I have sold the others for £350, the main cost is the carpet you use a lot more than you initially think... I could do them for around £300 if i am buying more materials than for the odd one. But this is the point I am trying to figure out how best to do it, I have found them on an american website and they are $580 which is around £350, it so happens so I can't be 100 miles off with the price. I am trying to find out if that is too much (which I know some people will say it is) if it is, I need to "try" and cut build time which I don't want to do because these things will last forever at the moment and I think that is more important than saving £50.

as for delivery that is to be investigated, mostly thus far it has been collection (when getting kitten) or if local, I deliver it.... I do need to look into alternatives if I am planning to do a few.

Anyway let me know but thanks for the feedback thus far.... I will get some better pictures and post them.

thanks in advance.....
