Rubber wood and plywood, 75 inches tall, two removable condos, and a 27-inch base - the material and stability story here is genuine.
"Rubber wood is an underappreciated material in cat furniture. It is dense, smooth, and resistant to the moisture and wear that ages cheaper wood products quickly. Combined with a plywood frame and Dutch velvet covering, this tower uses materials that were chosen for durability rather than cost minimization. The two removable condos are a practical design detail - you can take them out entirely for cleaning or rearrange the tower layout. At 75 inches with a 27-inch base this is also one of the most stable structures at this height."
Head of Product Curation At 75 inches with a 27 x 19 inch base and rubber wood construction, this tower is built for longevity. Rubber wood is denser than pine and resists moisture absorption - the material typically used in quality cutting boards and furniture that needs to handle repeated contact and cleaning. The plywood frame adds structural rigidity, and the Dutch velvet covering has a smooth, durable texture that holds up better than standard plush under daily friction.
Two removable condos sit at different heights on the 6-tier structure. Removable means they can be taken off for deep cleaning or removed entirely if a cat prefers open platforms - an unusual flexibility for a tower at any price point. The 14.5-inch top perch and 7.5 x 8 inch condo entrance suit most domestic cat sizes.
At 75 inches this tower nearly reaches ceiling height in most standard rooms. The cat at the top perch is at the apex of the household vertical space. Ships in two boxes. Assembly required.
*Rubber wood and plywood construction. Both condos are removable. Ships in 2 boxes - confirm delivery of both before assembly.

our team is putting this one through its paces.
Rubber wood comes from rubber trees harvested at end of latex production. It is dense, smooth, and naturally resistant to moisture - the same properties that make it a common material for kitchen cutting boards and quality furniture. In a cat tower it handles daily use and occasional cleaning better than most alternatives.
Yes - both condos are designed to be removable. You can take them off for deep cleaning, replace them in different positions, or remove them entirely if your cat prefers open platforms. This flexibility is unusual and practically useful.
Yes - at 75 inches the tower requires two boxes for shipping. Confirm both boxes are delivered before beginning assembly. The instruction manual will cover both.
Dutch velvet has a tight weave and smooth surface that resists pilling and matting better than standard plush. It cleans more easily and holds its appearance longer under daily friction from climbing and resting cats.
