Best Cat Tree Furniture: Hey-brother Wooden Cat Tree Review

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

A cat tree furniture piece is a floor cat tree built to look like part of the room, and the Hey-brother Wooden Cat Tree is the single model this post covers. Its listing gives a footprint of 43.3 by 19.7 inches and six levels, and it gives two heights: 72.4 inches in the specifications and 66.9 inches in one bullet. This post sets out the figures the listing states, the arithmetic a buyer can do with them, the points the listing leaves open, and why the other nine listings we pulled for the same keyword were not chosen.

Quick answer

• Choose this model when a floor spot of about 43 by 20 inches and a ceiling well above 72 inches suit your room.
• Check the height on the full page before you measure. The specifications say 72.4 inches and one bullet says 66.9 inches, a gap of 5.5 inches.
• Skip it if you need a stated weight or a load figure, since the listing gives neither.
• Clean the frame by hand, as the care field says, and check the cushion washing note on its own, because a bullet says the cushions are machine-washable.

What the listing states

The title reads “Hey-brother Wooden Cat Tree, Furniture Tower with Large Platforms, MPJ121SR.” The specifications identify the brand as Hey-brother, the model number as MPJ121SR, the color as Rustic Brown and the style as Classic. The listing describes a floor-mounted cat tree for indoor use, with climbing, jumping and scratching as its specific uses. The breed recommendation reads “All Breed Sizes, Kittens, Large Cats,” and the age range is all life stages.

The material field names engineered wood, plush fabric and sisal. The included components are a basket, a bed, a grooming brush, an instruction manual and a sisal ladder. The warranty field reads “Half Year Warranty,” and the care field reads “Hand Wash Only.” No item weight appears in any field. Table 1 puts the stated figures in one place, with a note on each gap.

Table 1. Figures the listing states

Field	What the listing states	Note
Dimensions, length by width by height	43.3 x 19.7 x 72.4 inches	Product and item fields give the same figures
Height in one bullet	66.9 inches	Differs from the 72.4-inch specification
Levels	6	Height of each level not stated
Item weight	not stated	No weight in any field
Material	Engineered wood, plush fabric, sisal	Wood grade and board thickness not stated
Included components	Basket, bed, grooming brush, sisal ladder, instruction manual	No hammock is named in this list
Scratching posts	Five full sisal-wrapped posts, per a bullet	Post diameter not stated
Breed recommendation	All Breed Sizes, Kittens, Large Cats	No weight limit stated
Warranty	Half Year Warranty	Warranty terms not stated
Care	Hand Wash Only	Cushion washing given in a bullet
Mounting	Floor Mount	No anti-tip fitting or wall strap listed
Style and color	Classic, Rustic Brown	One bullet describes modern wooden boards

The listing is specific about dimensions and silent about weight. Most of the open questions below come from that gap and from the height conflict.

What the bullets add

The listing has five bullets, and each one adds a detail the specifications do not carry.

The first bullet, headed “Elegant Design, Practical Living,” says the tree is built from modern wooden boards in a finish that blends with most home decor. It says the waterproof surface makes cleaning a breeze, and that the rest platforms have removable soft cushions which are machine-washable.

The second bullet, headed “Multi-Level Tall Furniture,” gives the height as 66.9 inches. It describes a central platform for play and transfer, with a sisal rope toy hanging from it, and it says the upper platforms have raised edging for secure lounging with an unobstructed view.

The third bullet describes a trapezoid-shaped condo and a hammock supported by a U-shaped frame. The listing calls the hammock a swing-style perch that breaks from the traditional basket. Of the five bullets, this is the only one that describes a hideaway.

The fourth bullet counts five full sisal-wrapped scratching posts, one sisal ladder and a grooming brush. The fifth is a usage note. It asks buyers to follow the instruction manual for assembly, and it recommends string or tape if the fabric of the right-side hammock tends to slip.

Where the listing disagrees with itself

Four points in the listing do not agree with one another, and a buyer should settle each of them before ordering.

The height is the first. The specifications give 72.4 inches, and the second bullet gives 66.9 inches. The two figures differ by 5.5 inches. The listing does not say which one is the height of the assembled tree with the top platform in place, so the full product page is the place to check.

The style is the second. The specifications read “Classic,” while the first bullet describes modern wooden boards. A wooden tree can be both, but the listing does not pick one word.

The care is the third. The care field reads “Hand Wash Only,” while the first bullet says the cushions are machine-washable. The listing does not say whether the cushions come off the frame for washing, or whether the machine-washable note covers the cushions alone.

The hammock is the fourth. The bullets describe a hammock on a U-shaped frame, but the included components field names a basket and a bed and no hammock. The listing does not say whether the hammock is sold with the tree.

The arithmetic

Every calculation below uses the listing’s own figures. Where a result depends on an assumption the listing does not state, the line is labelled as our planning estimate.

1. Footprint in square inches: 43.3 x 19.7 = 853.01 square inches.
2. Footprint in square feet, using 144 square inches to a square foot: 853.01 / 144 = 5.92 square feet.
3. Height in centimeters from the specifications, using 2.54 centimeters to an inch: 72.4 x 2.54 = 183.9 cm.
4. Height in centimeters from the bullet: 66.9 x 2.54 = 169.9 cm.
5. Gap between the two stated heights: 72.4 – 66.9 = 5.5 inches, which is 183.9 – 169.9 = 14.0 cm.
6. Height-to-width ratio from the specifications: 72.4 / 19.7 = 3.67.
7. Average height per level, our planning estimate: 72.4 / 6 = 12.07 inches. The listing does not give the height of each level, so this assumes equal spacing.
8. Clearance above the tree under an assumed 96-inch ceiling, our planning estimate: 96 – 72.4 = 23.6 inches with the specification height, and 96 – 66.9 = 29.1 inches with the bullet height. The listing does not state a ceiling requirement, so the 96-inch ceiling is an assumption.

The footprint is the figure to check against the floor. The clearance lines show why the height gap matters: under the same assumed ceiling, the two stated heights leave 23.6 or 29.1 inches, a difference of 5.5 inches.

The ratio of 3.67 describes the shape of the tree only. The listing states no base weight, no anchoring method and no stability test, so the ratio says nothing about how the tree behaves when a cat jumps onto a platform.

Placement and setup

The listing names a floor mount, and the included components do not list an anti-tip fitting or a wall strap. The listing points to the instruction manual for assembly but gives no assembly time. Mark the 43.3 by 19.7 inch footprint on the floor before the tree arrives, and measure the ceiling above that spot against the height figure you decide to trust.

If the scratching posts are the main reason for buying, note that the listing gives five posts and no post diameter. For a closer look at the material itself, see our guide to the best cat scratcher material, and for a taller multi-level option, see our guide to cat towers for large cats. If a cat struggles with the first climb, our guide to cat ramps covers that problem.

Who this tree suits

The breed recommendation names kittens and large cats. The listing gives no cat count and no weight limit, so the buyer has to judge how many cats the tree will serve and how heavy they are without a stated figure.

• A household with a floor spot of about 5.92 square feet and a ceiling that clears the 72.4-inch or 66.9-inch figure with room to spare.
• A buyer who wants wood and sisal in the same tree, since the material field lists both and the posts are sisal-wrapped.
• A buyer whose cat uses high perches and a hammock more than an enclosed space, since the bullets describe more platforms and a hammock than a hideaway.

Skip this model if the ceiling sits near 72 inches, if you need a stated weight before you buy, or if washing the cushions matters more to you than the frame.

How we chose

We read the research record for this keyword on 22 October 2026. The scan inside it is dated 20 October 2026 and holds ten listings. We kept one, using three tests in order: the title or bullets must describe a finished piece built to sit in a room, the specifications must give a height or a footprint, and the listing must describe platforms or a hideaway. This model passes all three, and it is the only title among the ten that uses the word furniture.

The other nine were not chosen, for the reasons below, each taken from its own figures.

• Globlazer, at 70.08 inches, is the closest in stated height, but its title calls it heavy duty and does not use the word furniture, and its bullets center on sisal posts and a hammock.
• Feandrea, at 59.5 inches and 28.7 pounds, has a style field that reads Modern. A search for a modern-style tree would fit that listing better than this one.
• Amazon Basics, at 45.88 inches and 24.3 pounds, is a carpet-covered wooden tower with jute posts. Its title does not use the word furniture.
• Gitelsnour, at 47.24 inches, is a wall-mount model, and its bullets say it is designed for small cats and not recommended for large cats.
• Bolfie, at 46 inches, leads its title with the words Cat Scratching Post, and its bullets center on a single sisal pole with a feather toy.
• Heybly, at 43.3 inches, includes a basket, a bed and a dangling ball, but its title does not use the word furniture and its material list includes cardboard.
• AIWIKIDE, at 37.4 inches, has twin condos and a cactus design, and its care field says Spot Clean Only.
• YUNIQUE, at 39.4 inches and 15.5 pounds, is a sisal tree with a large hammock. Its listing names medium and small breeds, a narrower use than this model’s.
• YOUPETSER, at 25.59 inches and 10.4 pounds, is a single-level tree with a plush top and is the shortest of the ten.

This post does not rank the nine others. It states what each listing gives and which test it failed.

What we could not verify

• Weight. The listing gives no item weight, so no figure can be set against a floor, a wall or a cat’s body weight.
• Load. The breed recommendation names large cats, but the listing gives no weight limit for the tree, the platforms or the posts.
• The correct height. The specifications say 72.4 inches and the bullet says 66.9 inches. No second source is cited in this post, so the conflict stays open.
• The waterproof surface. The first bullet describes the surface as waterproof. This post reports that as the listing’s claim only.
• The wood. The listing says engineered wood but gives no board thickness, joint method or core material.
• The warranty terms. The specifications show a Half Year Warranty, and the listing does not say what it covers.
• Sisal post diameter and anti-tip hardware. The listing gives neither a diameter nor a rope thickness, and it names no anti-tip fitting among the included components.

Buying checklist

1. Measure the floor space: 43.3 x 2.54 = 110.0 cm by 19.7 x 2.54 = 50.0 cm, which is the same footprint in inches.
2. Measure the ceiling above the chosen spot, then subtract 72.4 inches. If the 66.9-inch bullet is the true height, subtract that figure instead.
3. Open the full product page and read the height figure again before you order.
4. Count the cats who will use the tree, and check whether any weight figure is given on the page. The listing in this post gives neither.
5. Compare the box contents with the included components: basket, bed, grooming brush, sisal ladder and instruction manual. Look for a hammock as well.
6. Settle cleaning, anchoring and warranty before you order. Hand wash the frame as the care field says, check whether the cushions come off and go in a machine, plan an anchoring method because none is named, and read the half-year warranty terms.

Mistakes to avoid

• Trusting one height figure. The gap is 5.5 inches, or 14.0 cm. A tree that clears a ceiling at 66.9 inches may not clear it at 72.4 inches.
• Assuming a hammock is in the box. The bullets describe one, but the component list names only a basket and a bed.
• Machine-washing the whole tree. The care field says Hand Wash Only, and the bullet limits machine washing to the cushions.
• Reading the breed line as a weight limit. “Large Cats” is a breed note, and the listing gives no weight figure to check it against.
• Taking “modern” from the bullets alone. The style field says Classic, so the bullet’s design word is the only support for a modern reading.

FAQ

Is this a cat tree furniture piece or only a cat tree?

The title calls it a Furniture Tower, and the bullets describe wooden boards and a finish. The listing still sells the product as a cat tree with platforms, a basket, a bed and scratching posts, so this post treats it as a cat tree with a furniture-style finish.

How tall is it?

The specifications give 72.4 inches, which is 183.9 cm by our conversion. One bullet gives 66.9 inches, which is 169.9 cm. The listing does not say which figure describes the assembled tree with the top platform in place, so check the full product page before you measure your room.

Will it fit my room?

The footprint is 43.3 by 19.7 inches, or 5.92 square feet by our calculation. Whether it fits depends on the height you measure against your ceiling. Under an assumed 96-inch ceiling, the 72.4-inch figure leaves 23.6 inches and the 66.9-inch figure leaves 29.1 inches. The listing does not state a ceiling requirement, so the 96-inch figure is only a planning estimate.

Can a large cat use it?

The breed recommendation names large cats, but the listing gives no item weight and no weight limit for the tree, the platforms or the posts. From this listing alone, we cannot say whether the platforms or the posts suit a large adult cat’s weight, so look for a stated limit before ordering. For bed sizes aimed at larger adults, see our guide to cat beds for large cats.

Are the cushions washable?

The first bullet says the rest-platform cushions are removable and machine-washable. The care field says Hand Wash Only for the product. The listing does not say whether the machine-washable note applies to the cushions alone, so read the instruction manual or the full product page before you wash anything.

What is the warranty?

The specifications list a Half Year Warranty. The listing does not state what the warranty covers, how long a claim takes, or how a buyer makes one.

Does it come with a hammock?

The bullets describe a hammock on a U-shaped frame. The included components field names a basket, a bed, a grooming brush, a sisal ladder and an instruction manual, and it names no hammock. Confirm the contents on the full product page before you buy.

Bottom line

Choose this model when a floor spot of about 43 by 20 inches and a ceiling well above 72 inches suit your room, and when you can live without a stated weight figure. Before you buy, confirm whether the height is 72.4 inches or 66.9 inches, because the listing gives both.
