Thinking of buying the plans for those cat trees here

Has anyone made one? I'm thinking the cost of $10.00 and some freecycle wanted ads along with bin scraps from local hardware stores should save me a ton. The small not so much one at PetSmart is almost $100.00!

If you made one - was it easy? How much did it end up costing?

yea I made a similar thing,,, I took a 4X4 and screwed it to a piece of 3/4 in plywood base.. put a shelf up on one side, a bit up, another one 1/4 of the way around and another inline with the first one.. made an open box on the top with a large hole in the bottom for cats to climb into,, carpeted the post and the inside of the top box with a power stapler.. ummm,, guess you need a picture don't you? All of our cats have loved it and at times both Tiny and Basest are in it together.. mine is near a window so they can see out.. I will work on a picture for you soon, promise.
I hate paying the price for something made in China for my pets... tell you what bring in a good size tree limb and prop it in a corner... they will find it.. and climb it and scratch it.. might sprinkle some catnip on it first time and show it to them..

ok, edited ,, here is the link. dang tried to rotate it,, oh well.. turn you laptop sideways. :-)
