{"product_id":"elm-solid-wood-cat-climbing-tree-110cm","title":"Elm Solid Wood Cat Tree, 43\" Tall with Close-Set Levels for Older Cats","description":"\u003cp\u003eNot every cat wants to be at ceiling height. An older cat, a heavy cat, or a cat who has started hesitating before the jump wants three good levels close together, not eight spread over six feet. Elm is a solid wood cat tree about 43 inches tall (110 cm), roughly waist height, with the platforms spaced so each step is a short hop rather than a leap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSisal posts run between the levels and there is a cubby at the base. The frame is solid wood rather than veneered board, so it takes the landings and stays square. It is the low cat tree you buy when the tall one has become a thing your cat looks at rather than climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it beside a bed or a couch an older cat has stopped jumping onto and it doubles as a set of steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Elm works for older and heavier cats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e43-inch height (110 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e — about waist height, so the top is a short climb, not an expedition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose-set platforms\u003c\/strong\u003e — each step is a short hop, which is what a hesitant cat needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid wood frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — not veneered board; takes a heavy landing and stays square.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide base\u003c\/strong\u003e — stable for a big cat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSisal posts between levels\u003c\/strong\u003e — something to scratch on the way up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCubby at the base\u003c\/strong\u003e — a place to hide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e — for rooms where a tall tower would dominate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 cm (about 43 in), roughly waist height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLevels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatforms spaced a short hop apart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSisal, between the levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCubby at the bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid wood, not veneered board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt-together, around 30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlder, heavier and less confident cats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWill it fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt about 43 inches it is roughly waist height; check the dimensions diagram in the photos for the base.
