How to Assemble a Multi-Functional Cat Tower with Cabinet Base

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. You should have the cabinet panels (two doors, side panels, top panel), an enclosed condo box (with circular entrances), multiple scratching posts (wrapped in sisal), upper platforms (including a plush top bed), and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, possibly Allen wrenches). Lay everything out on a clean surface, checking each part against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Building the Cabinet Base

Instruction: Identify the side panels and attach them to the bottom panel using the provided bolts or screws. Keep the hardware slightly loose to allow for minor adjustments. Next, secure the back panel and the front doors. Ensure the cabinet measures about 23.6" wide by 19.5" deep by 15.3" tall. Tighten all screws once everything is aligned.

Step 3: Installing the Condo & Scratch Posts

Instruction: Place the enclosed condo box (with the 7.1" circular entrances) on top of the cabinet. Align any pre-drilled holes in the condo’s base with the cabinet’s top panel, then secure with bolts. Next, attach the sisal-wrapped posts around the condo according to the manual, ensuring they stand about 44.9" tall in total. Keep the posts slightly loose until all are in place.

Step 4: Adding the Upper Platforms & Perch

Instruction: Once the posts are in place, attach the upper platforms to the top of each post using the provided screws. If your design includes a plush bed or bolstered top perch, secure it on the highest post. Double-check that each platform measures around 11.8" to 12.2" in depth and can support up to 220 lb of distributed weight. Tighten all screws.

Step 5: Final Checks & Placement

Instruction: Gently shake the entire tower to confirm stability. Adjust or tighten any loose bolts. Wipe down the surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, place your new cat tower in a corner or near a window—store pet supplies in the cabinet below, let your cat enjoy the condo, and watch them climb and perch on the top levels.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a multi-functional cat tower that combines a practical cabinet base with a cozy condo and elevated perches. Your cat can scratch, climb, and rest comfortably, while the enclosed cabinet keeps toys and supplies neatly stored away. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing your feline friend has a safe, sturdy, and entertaining space to call their own!
