Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about our prices or how we make our products? Everything you need to know is on this page.

  • What sort of materials do you use?

    Our base material is birch plywood, which is almost triple in grade as compared to standard plywood. More dense, heavier and made with a beautiful birch veneer, the birch plywood leaves a better finish and gives stronger support. The price of birch plywood is up to 4 times compared to the normal plywood. Even for cabinetry hardware, we use the leading hardware supplier Blum for most of our hinges.

  • How much do you charge for a simple cat station?

    Our prices start from $300 for a entry level cat station with 2 platforms on a single cat post up to over $1,800 for Rocky's Gym which has a cabinet and other complexities built in. Our Duo Cat Tree is considered our mid range and will cost approximately $800. Prices differ according to the size of the station, materials used and number of platforms.

  • Why are your pet furnitures more expensive than Taobao or Carousell?

    1. Our pieces are tailor made to your pet's size and your requirements. No two pieces are ever alike! Want it in lime green with star shaped holes? or how about in a shape of a aeroplane for your furry friend. We can make it if you can imagine it.
    2. We use premium materials like birch plywood which is up to 4 times higher than standard plywood for its rigidity and beauty. We also use stainless steel or quality hardware from Blum for our hinges.
    3. Our pieces are made to last! All our items are servicable, repairable, friendly to animals and designed to last a long time. Our items also come with a 2 year guarantee. We have had many customers complain about their Taobao purchases either falling apart or made with irritating chemicals which causes their pets to avoid it. As pet owners, we too have encountered these problems.

  • Do you only do pet furnitures?

    No! We do furnitures for plants and humans too! Take a look at our projects above to see our abilities in creating interesting pieces for your home.

  • Where are your projects made in? China ? Malaysia?

    Every single project is designed in Singapore by our veteran designer who has experience in interior design, woodworking and graphic design. Our project is then passed on to an 20 year experience carpenter (also in SG!) who builds this unique piece into a piece worthy to be in your home. Even this website was created in Singapore by us!

  • Are you able to match your design with our interior design?

    Yes, our in-house designer has interior design experience, which lends greatly to our ability to match your pet station or house to your current home. We can also work with your IDs to create a truly integrative space for both pets and humans.

  • Do you do safety nettings for cats in HDBs or larger landed homes?

    Yes, we have experience installing pet safety nettings and fixtures in small, medium or large homes. Indoor or outdoor spaces have been done as well.
