Pastry Shop Novelty Cat Scratcher - Assorted Greens - 18" - Boots & Barkley™

Bring back the old style of assembly!!! As tough as that could be this is 100 times worse. Did you even consumer test the design? My engineering degree couldn’t even figure it out!!!. Cat loves it but it’s not even fully assembled because I have a side on wrong and didn’t have the energy to fix it. Took 30+ minutes, the old design I could do it in 10

Building this should be one of the challenges in Squid Game.

Very cute, and my cats absolutely loved it. One of them chewed all of the structural integrity out of it but it’s still their favorite.

Cuteness factor: 100 Assembly factor: -1,000 I have assembled so many of these houses in the past and this one was an absolute nightmare. It took every ounce of energy in my body to not jump on top of it and crush it. I think some sort of origami master designed it and wanted to punish us regular people. I’m currently sitting here writing this review as my husband tries to iron out the final details because some pieces just aren’t matching up. The instructions are also horrible. Do not recommend.

My son loves his biscuit factory. Especially the rooftop deck.

This is adorable but the directions for assembly are beyond awful. I’m going to YouTube a video to see if anyone can explain the process.

The final product is too adorable, but the process the get it done was a headache and a half. The instructions weren’t very intuitive; my boyfriend was only able to get it built because he built the last two. Also, the material feels cheaper overall. PSA if you have a big chunky cat like we do, you will want to reinforce the top flaps with tape 🙃

This was such a cute cat house, but you need an engineering degree to build it. The instructions made zero sense. I’ve never had a cat house that was this difficult to build.

Cats destroyed immediately. These aren’t as sturdy as they used to be and no longer come with catnip.

Actually bought this for my bunny, it was really hard to build and put together even though it’s just cardboard. Decided not to put the overhang attachment due to difficulties putting it through the slots.

I purchased this adorable cat house for my bengal and from the beginning its been a headache. One of the most difficult things I've ever had to put together, I had to in list help and still we struggled. Once together its was cute and my cat immediately took to it. It lasted 2 weeks then one day while he was napping on the top he busted through and scared everyone in the living room! He is not overweight by any means, but once this happened the house was non-repairable. See pictures!

My cats seem to like it and it’s adorable from an aesthetic standpoint but it was ridiculously hard to put together. And I’m an engineer and assemble complex Lego sets as a hobby. So that’s really saying something. Reinforced the edges with clear packing tape in hopes it lasts at least a few days before my cats find a way to destroy it.

I have put together tons of cat houses, scratching posts etc in my life even a cardboard house that was as tall as me. NONE of them were as hard to put together as this was. I am an instruction follower but the instructions were hard to understand and after spending forever putting it together I realized I must have put one of the pieces on wrong which is incredibly annoying. I can’t be bothered to return it and I broke part of it while putting it together so I guess I’m keeping it but DON’T BUY IT. As an experienced crazy cat lady, this is not worth your time or patience. It may be cute but it’s not worth it.

This scratcher is super cute and a lot higher quality than I was expecting. Love the biscuit factory!

I absolutely hated this product. Some of you may thinking about buying this, and if you are, please stop. I’ve sat through boring lessons in school, many time outs as a child, and even some conversations with my grandparents that I DEFINITELY did not want to be having. But nothing compared to this hour of my life. The first few minutes were fine. “I’m so excited! I hope the cats like this!!” Then. BAM. TORTURE. AGONY. I kept thinking throughout those next 55 minutes that I’ve never wanted to kms this bad. (But then I remembered oh wait yeah I have) Anyways, moral of the story is that it is the most awful hour you will ever spend ever. The cardboard was not cardboarding, the pieces were not piecing. When I tell you I hated this product - I HATED it. There honestly aren’t many things that can beat my hatred for this item. (Besides the orange running our country and McDonalds, sorry not sorry) if it gives you any idea how much I hated this product, I created a target account - JUST SO I COULD WRITE THIS REVIEW. That’s it. Please don’t buy it. - love cat scratcher hater. Ps. This gave me a headache too.

Super sturdy and cats immediately were interested.

I bought this on a whim today hoping my cats would like it. The directions were probably clear but I did not have the patience to read the thouroughly; I mostly just looked at the pictures. I finally got it set up and one of my cats hopped in and stayed there for about an hour before she got out. I do recomment it!

Very cute once completed, but you will lose your sanity several times trying to assemble it.

not as durable, broke fast. the truck lasted longer

After my cat's Chef Shrimpy's food truck crashed with the driver fleeing the scene of the accident, my babes have needed a new business venture. So I thought, hey they can be bakers. I've put together a ton of these playhouses for cats and this one was by far the most challenging one. I've had better experiences when assemblying IKEA or Wayfair. This was a pain. Cats love it though.
