How to Assemble a Cat Tree
A Globlazer cat tree is assembled from a lettered parts list and step drawings, using the hex key in the hardware bag. After the last drawing, secure it to the wall with the included anti-toppling fittings. Check and tighten all screws after assembly, again 2 to 3 days later, then at least once a month. Indoor use only. For your model's drawings, use that model's PDF or the installation video on the product listing.

At a glance
Assembling a Globlazer cat tree means matching lettered parts to the list, then building from the codes on each step drawing, not by length or look. The hex key is in the hardware bag (see your model's parts list). Hardware rows marked +1 are spares. Place the tree on an even floor, against a wall corner, and use the included anti-toppling fittings to secure it to the wall. Indoor use only—not commercial or outdoor. After assembly, check and tighten all screws; check again 2 to 3 days later; check firmness at least once a month. Place the product in a well-ventilated area for 3 to 5 days to eliminate the smell. Use a lint roller or pet hair remover for daily cleaning; do not clean with water or other liquid detergents; keep the tree dry. It is only intended for cats to play, climb, and sharpen their claws—not a children's toy. If a drawing is unclear, download the PDF for your model or watch the installation video on the product listing.

Before you start
The hex key is in the hardware bag; you do not need to buy a separate tool set. During installation, follow the correct steps and take necessary safety precautions, such as wearing gloves. Count lettered parts and P-coded posts against your model PDF first. Extra screws printed +1 are spares. Same-length posts are not the same part—match the P code on the current drawing. See What tools do I need to assemble a Globlazer cat tree? and What if screws or parts are missing?.
Follow the drawings, not the look
Build from the part code on the current step, not from similar-looking posts or platforms. Read the P code on the post and the letter on the board, then match them to the current step drawing. If a step is unclear, Where do I find the assembly manual for my model? or watch the installation video on the product listing.
Secure the tree to the wall
Make sure the product is placed on an even floor to prevent toppling hazards. It is recommended to place it against a wall corner and use the included anti-toppling fittings to secure it to the wall. Do not put any other objects on the cat tree.
The wall-strap step on current manuals states: "Please use the anti-toppling strap to secure the cat tree to the wall to ensure its stability and safety!" More on How do I stop a cat tree from tipping?.
After assembly
After installation, check and tighten all screws. Then, 2 to 3 days later, check again to ensure that the screws are properly tightened. Check the firmness of all the screws at least once a month.
| When | What | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Immediately after assembly | Check and tighten all screws | Manual Notes |
| 2 to 3 days later | Check again and tighten | Manual Notes |
| At least once a month | Check firmness of all screws | Manual Notes |

Indoor use, smell, and cleaning
The product is intended for indoor use only, not for commercial use or outdoor use. After assembly, place the product in a well-ventilated area for 3 to 5 days to eliminate the smell. Use a lint roller or pet hair remover for daily cleaning. Do not clean with water or other liquid detergents. Always keep the cat tree dry. Keep away from heat sources, humidity, and corrosive chemicals, and avoid direct sunlight.
See Why does a new cat tree smell?.
Safety for cats and children
The cat tree is only intended for cats to play, climb, and sharpen their claws. This product is not a children's toy. Do not allow children to stand on or climb on it. Keep children away during assembly as small parts may be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Keep packaging materials (film, plastic bags, foam, etc.) out of the reach of children and babies. Persons with allergies should avoid assembling the product.
If your cat starts to chew or eat the plush balls or elastic bands, remove the toys. If your cat is still young or particularly intrigued by the plush balls (featuring a toy bell), remove the bell from the plush ball, do not leave the cat unattended while it plays with this toy, and regularly inspect the toy for wear, tear, and loose parts. See Should I remove the bell from hanging toys?.
Even the box it comes in can be made into a cat house with a pair of scissors and some tape in just a few simple steps (scissors and tape are not included).
Get the PDF or video for your model
If you have any installation issues, watch the installation video on the product's listing page, or download the official PDF for your model. On Globlazer's download library, GN color and hammock kits are often a different file from the base tree.
Use the official PDF manuals or the installation videos. If you have counted the parts list and still have a gap, see What if screws or parts are missing? or contact us for help.
