Our cat wheel from Nordic Beast is a well constructed product. We've had ours now for a year and it still looks and Sounds new. Not noisy at all. The cats definitely use it.

Was very excited to get this product for our Maine Coon however after receiving the kit and following all instructions and assembly videos the wheel was rubbing every time it would roll. Upon inspection the front board was extremely bowed and was causing the rubbing. We contacted the company and they did promptly send out a replacement piece but it arrived damaged with pieces of the black coating chipping and was very dinged up. Responded again with pictures of how the part arrived and received no response back. Would not recommend this product for the money it cost.

Very noisey

There is absolutely no reason for this thing to cost $480.00Vevor makes a better quality wheel at a cheaper price!Go buy vevor and send this one back! Like I did!It’s trash.(Why not respond on here for everyone to see…? Why did you comment on my page in secrecy? Why are you harassing me on my Facebook page? Sending this to Amazon too!)

Built by myself with one moment of needing assistance to flip it while assembling. Takes about an hour to assemble by one person. My cat is already playing on it within a few hours! It does take up a good amount of space but anything smaller would have been too small for my cat. Well worth the price

My little female kitty has a blast running on this wheel! Great quality. Easy to put together.

Let's get this one out of the way: It's expensive. That said, I was really impressed at how it was designed. It's the first piece of furniture I've assembled that actually used plastic anchor inserts to screw into. And all plywood, not particle board. I am hoping that the combination should make it safe to disassemble & reassemble multiple times.Everything was well packed and no damage during shipment. Package contents included a set of cotton gloves to use for the assembly (to limit splinters?) and a small piece of sandpaper in case there is any wood that needs to be sanded down (didn't need to use it). It also included spare screws and anchors. It included a screwdriver as well.Follow the assembly instructions, particularly the bit about not tightening everything initially. During the initial assembly I only slightly snugged the screws, and then backed out about a half turn or so, and only tightened everything down after it was fully assembled. I did the first few using a manual screwdriver to get a feel for how much effort was required, then I shifted to trying to use a drill driver set to a really low torque setting (I didn't go past 3 out of 20 on my drill), and I tried to stop before actually hitting the torque limiter. This meant I tended to start with the drill and then finish the snugging with the manual screwdriver. Once everything was fully assembled I went back around and tightened all of the screws using a manual screwdriver.Do keep in mind that this is large. I knew this, and it was the main reason I purchased it (I wanted the cats to be able to stretch out), but even so I was still a bit surprised at how big it was. Assembly can be done with one person (I did it by myself, aside some periodic "assistance" from the cats), but there are a couple steps that would be easier with two people simply due to the size.So far, out of 4 cats I've managed to get 1 to use it, and on the first day, using a combination of the included wand toy and laser pointer. One out of four might not sound great, but it is what I was hoping for. The youngest was running laps around the house so I was hoping this would give him an outlet without leaving a wake of destruction and so far it seems to have worked. If I can eventually get the older kids on it too that would just be a bonus.Sound-wise, it is audible when in use (as expected) but not obnoxious. I have it in the basement currently and when it is in use I can hear a slight rumbling at the top of the open stairway. There is no squeaking, squealing, or other annoying sounds.Update: Both of my boys are now using this, so that's 2 out of 4 cats using it which is even better than I had hoped for. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get either of my girls to try it out yet.Update: One of the girls decided to try it out on her own. That makes 3 out of 4 cats using it, a 75% success rate!
