Verified Reviews for Freestyle Cat Tree - Hammock Platform with Bracket and Hammock - Bamboo

Love the freestyle tree in general but the bamboo hammock platform is not a sound design. Omlet says cracks on untreated bamboo will be small and insignificant, but they are large and make a loud sound and warp the shape, at least in my climate. I asked for a treated replacement but customer service kept sending untreated before they did their research to find out it's not available treated like the solid platform. Instead Omlet is choosing to pass on the work and expense to their customers to put wood oil on it, citing "environmental reasons" for using up their untreated supply (not seeing that the process of all their customers buying wood oil uses up environmental resources as well?). Even when I sent links to my online photo galleries showing how bad the first two untreated platforms were and expressing skepticism that wood oil would help, nobody would acknowledge there was a problem. I applied copious amounts of wood oil immediately to the third platform, but the cracks and warping are just as bad. Kitty doesn't like touching it. Very disappointing product and process.

I bought an outdoor and indoor hammock for my cats and they love both. The hammocks and their platforms are so well made and just purrfect for a cat's need to feel contained and safe. The indoor setup is more elaborate and has other platforms and plant and treat holders, too, whereas the one outside is one vertical pole with one platform and the hammock. These products are so well-designed. They look great, accommodate the needs of cats, don't take up a lot of room and are very thoughtfully constructed. I have two cats and they have lots of places around the house and patio to hide and sleep, but they seem to prefer the Omlet structures at the moment.

We had an omelet gym for our cats and they all wanted to use the hammock so we had to buy a second one. They love them.

My 5 month old kitten absolutely LOVES this hammock - if she needs some alone time or fancies a nap, she’s straight in it. She sleeps in it for hours with her little paws sticking out and it’s her safe spot to hide from the vacuum!
