The Osso & Co Kitty Condo pieces, the largest sized 17.7"L x 17.7"W x 17.7"H, can be stacked or laid our side by side for customized play structures for you felines to play hide 'n seek with. Available in a "warm" set of Black, White, Orange, Rose and Yellow, or a "cool" color combination with Brown, White, Blue, Green and Beige. Save nearly a $100 by ordering from here (compared to the Osso & Co. site's $290 price).
they look thin. i like them, but i wonder how stable they'd be with one giant of a cat, and a spry, jumpy kitten on board when they're stacked up. especially give our feline friends' crazy clumsiness.

They may be related companies, but I believe this is made by Otis and Claude. www.otisandclaude.com
I have been interested in buying these, but am also wary of doing so without hearing any reviews as to their sturdiness. They'd have to be heavy duty to stand up to our two large, rambunctious cats!

My cat would eat these. He has some sort of hatred for cardboard boxes and chews the hell out of them.

The past few days on AT have felt like cubefest. Sustainable cubes, storage/furniture cubes, kitty cubes.
Here a cube. There a cube. Everywhere a cube cube.

For all of you that are interested in this product it is amazing. I bought it about a month ago and my cats took to it immediately. I have two cats both almost a year old and despite all their wrestling have not made me question the stability of the item once. I have stacked all five cubes on top of each other and they play like crazy, even fighting for who can reign from the top. One of my cats chooses to climb the outside of the boxes all the way to the top while my other is more traditional jumping through the holes in the top of each box. Added bonus, it is my cats favorite scratcher, until this item both my cats scratched at my couches. If you are interested in a more attractive alternative to the traditional cat tree I highly recommend this item.
About the maker, I too associate the product with Otis and Claude (www.otisandclaude.com) but I recommend buying on amazon.com. I ordered mine through EntirelyPets for $123.99 and $5.99 shipping and handling while my local pet boutique was selling it for $300.

These stackable cubes were just the thing I was looking for, as I resolved to banish the ugly -- but much beloved by my cats -- carpet-covered cat trees from the main living space of my new home. I placed by order Tuesday afternoon, and they arrived today. Fast!
The cubes themselves look great and are quite sturdy, not at all like cardboard boxes. They appear fabricated from ~1/4" particleboard/fiberboard, with reinforced strips along all interior corners. Squeezing one together with both hands, hard, made the material flex only a few millimeters. And they nest together pretty securely -- I had to smack the top edges of one to fit it into the space above the next-largest cube.
As for the crucial cat-test... they seem to be meeting with feline approval. Once I remove the old cat trees, I expect they'll fully migrate to the cubes.
