20 Best Modern Cat Trees (Review)

In my search for the best modern cat trees, I headed to four of my favorite sites: Amazon, Etsy, CatsPlayFurniture, and Wayfair. Take a peek at what I found!

1. Tuft and Paw Milo Cat Tower (WINNER)

The Milo Cat Tower from Tuft and Paw has a gorgeous modern design that fits in perfectly with your minimalist decor.

It includes four platforms, a slide-like ramp, and a climbing/scratching post, all covered in durable carpeting.

Measurements & Materials

• The Milo stands at 62″ tall and takes up roughly 53″x15″ of floor space.
• Birch plywood with UV coating.
• Hammock is made of crystal

Benefits & Drawbacks of Tuft and Paw Milo Cat Tower

Benefits	Drawbacks
Made to last with real natural birchwood construction	ONLY comes in white (so not ideal for homes with toddlers!)
Rounded edges to protect kitty from injuries	Super pricey
Big enough for multiple cats	Requires a good deal of floor space
Minimalist carpeting (not plush like traditional cat trees)
White design fits in with any decor

How it compares to others

Tuft and Paw cat furniture isn’t cheap, but there’s a reason for that. Each piece is designed to last.

Unlike many competitors, this one is made from REAL wood, not particle board.

Recommendation

The Milo is definitely the big winner when it comes to the best modern cat trees, especially if you want something with a Scandinavian minimalist.

Yes, it’s very pricey, but as I said above, it’s built to last with durable real wood.

In other words, it will last throughout your cat’s entire life and beyond, so you won’t need to replace it every six months!

2. Frond by Tuft and Paw: Best Modern Corner Cat Tree

With a minimalist design that packs everything you need into a relatively small package, this 49″ tower is anything but tacky.

Measurements & Materials

• 24” W x 24” D x 49” H
• Solid ash, sisal, premium plywood, ash veneer

Benefits & drawbacks of Frond by Tuft and Paw

Benefits	Drawbacks
Elegant design that looks great in a corner	Too small for larger cat breeds, like the Maine Coon
Sisal posts from top to bottom	Also pricey
NO carpeting to deal with	Made from plywood (premium, but still plywood)
Available in both Black or Ash (which is more like a beige)
Suitable for cats up to about 12 lbs
Relatively easy to assemble

How it compares to others

Compared to other Tuft and Paw trees, this one is pretty basic. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as sometimes it’s exactly what we want.

The other major difference between this and the first one, this is more of a modern corner cat tree than the other. So if you lack space, it’s the better choice.

Recommendation

Tuft and Paw make amazing modern and the best cat furniture, and this is no exception. Even though it’s made from plywood, it’s still built to last.

However, if you have a giant kitty, you’re better off with another option.

While it’ll work for small to average cats, it’s a no-go for Maine Coons and other big breeds.

3. Modern Cat Tree Shelf: Best “Looks Like Furniture” choice

Is it a modern cat tree? Is it a large cat shelf? It’s both! Or either! Totally up to you!

Seriously, this one is among my favorite modern space-saving cat trees because it’s just so versatile. It really looks more like a piece of furniture.

Measurements & Materials

• 22″ length by 22″ width by 67″ height.
• Wood and non-toxic paint

benefits & drawbacks of modern cat tree shelf

Benefits	Drawbacks
6 levels for climbing and playing	Again, it’s not cheap (most modern cat trees aren’t)
Spacious cat tree big enough for most breeds	Upper shelves are too slippery for cats to climb
Carpet on two levels blends in well	Top shelves are also too high for older cats to climb
Cubby hole with hiding place on the second level.
Comes in black or white

How it compares to others

Unlike many options on this list that serve as straight-up cat trees, this one can easily double as a shelf.

If you live in a small apartment (or even a house crammed with stuff as I do), that’s pretty darn good news!

Recommendation

While it is kind of expensive for a cat tree, if you think of it as a combo item, it’s a bit easier to digest.

Yes, the top shelves aren’t really all that cat-friendly, but that’s kind of the point- so you can use them for knick-knacks.

That said, one reviewer did say it’s easy enough to modify so that the entire tower becomes kitty-friendly.

4. Black Catissa Modular House: Best Wall-mounted Cat tree for Large Kitties

Need something you can hang on your wall for your feline friend? Check out this great find from CatissaCatTrees on Etsy!

Measurements & Materials

• Made to order, so size depends on your specifications, but it’s a spacious cat tree overall
• Wood and non-toxic paint

benefits & drawbacks of Black Catissa Modular Cat House

Benefits	Drawbacks
Two different cushion material- faux fur or natural sheepskin	Etsy items tend to vanish quickly. If it’s gone, check out their shop for similar items
Modular, so arrange it however you want	Pricey (although fair for handmade)
Made with real wood	Takes a while to make and ship, so not a good option if you need it right away
Free shipping to the US (which is awesome since it ships from overseas).	Not sure what type of paint they use (I like to see sellers come right out and say “non-toxic”)

How it compares to others

This is a totally modular wooden cat tree condo, so you can assemble it to fit your space, rather than trying to arrange your space to fit the tree!

It’s also completely handmade to order, so you’re not getting something that’s been sitting around in a warehouse.

Recommendation

My biggest concern here is the paint. As I said, I prefer to see the words “non-toxic” front and center when talking about paints and stains.

However, since the tree is made on-demand, you can always ask them to leave it natural.

5. Frisco 28-in Modern Cat Tree & Condo: Best Budget Pick

The Frisco Modern wood cat tree tower is definitely one of the more unique offerings from Chewy.

While it does have some carpeting, it’s very tasteful (and removable).

Measurements & Materials

• 28 inches 15.3 inches 15.3 inches
• Platforms measure  15.3″x 15.3″
• Engineered Wood, Laminate,

BENEFITS & DRAWBACKS OF Frisco 28-in Modern Cat Tree & Condo

Benefits	Drawbacks
Compact design is perfect for small spaces	No replacement parts
Washable and removable cushion	Rather small, so not great for big cats
Designed to fit into the corner of any room	Not made from real wood (it’s “engineered” wood)
Minimalist style and light-gray color fit every decor	Made in China

How it compares to others

The Frisco cat tree has a relatively small footprint compared to many of the others on this list.

Thanks to that as well as the square design, it’ll easily fit snugly into any corner of your house.

Plus, since it’s made by Chewy, it’s backed by their excellent customer service. If you hate it, return it. No hassle, no questions asked.

Recommendation

As long as you don’t have ginormous or elderly furry friends, I really think this is a great buy!

I personally use it as a “bedroom tree,” as my cat Zoe spends a lot of time in my room when she’s hiding from her feline brother Alex.

6. Modular Modern Cat Tree: Best Modular Pick

We’ve seen this one many times before, as it’s one of my favorite cat trees of all time! However, I usually show you the bright and colorful cat tree option.

For a sleeker and more modern look, though, I like the black blocks.

Measurements & Materials

• Size varies by piece and configuration. Largest side is 32″, smallest is “8
• Heavy-duty cardboard

BENEFITS & DRAWBACKS OF Modular Modern Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
Completely modular, put it together however you want	Can get expensive if you want to build a massive structure
Since it’s modular and expandable, it’s a great modern cat tree for large cats	Only includes just enough clips to put it together, so if one breaks you’re in trouble
Each block holds up to 300 pounds	Made from cardboard, not wood
Comes with free catnip
Plenty of vertical spaces for climbing

How it compares to others

As mentioned above, it’s 100% modular, meaning you can stack it any way you like.

In fact, if you have the budget and the space, you could buy a bunch of them and literally create an entire cat wall!

You could even use it to create a bookshelf/cat tree combo structure!

Recommendation

While the price feels a bit high for something made of cardboard, it is incredibly durable and versatile.

Plus, since you can arrange it any way you want, it’s easy to create a space large enough for your big feline friends.

7. The Refined Feline Lotus Tall Modern Cat Tree

The Refined Feline modern cat climbing tree is one of the most popular options on this list, and it’s easy to see why. It’s positively gorgeous!

Measurements & Materials

• 20 x 20 x 69 inches
• Wood, Sisal, Faux suede

BENEFITS & DRAWBACKS OF The Refined Feline Lotus Tall Modern Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
Stands 69 inches tall (which is tall to me!)	Levels are a bit far apart, making it less than ideal for senior cats.
While it’s carpeted, the color blends right in, so you can barely see it.	Pricey
Speaking of, it uses high-quality Berber carpeting, like the kind on your floors!	Condo is not large enough for XL cat breeds (like Maine Coons on the bigger side)
Washable faux suede covers above and in the cave	Very heavy, so it’s hard to move
Pads are held on by Velcro and can be replaced.
Platforms are large enough for most cats

How it compares to others

The overall style is among the greatest differences between the Lotus and others on this list.

While very modern, it’s not quite as “minimalist” as some other options. In other words, you don’t have to sacrifice fun for style.

Recommendation

This is definitely one of my favorite modern cat trees on Amazon!

If you read through the reviews, you’ll see that it’s built to last. Some users have had theirs for 6+ years!

8. Frisco 88 to 106-in 3 Level Heavy Duty Cat Tower: Best FLOOR TO CEILING Pick for Bigger Cats

When you’re short on space but still want to give your cat the ultimate climbing structure, what do you do?

Why, you look up, of course! A floor-to-ceiling cat tree like this one is a brilliant way to make use of every spare inch of your home.

Measurements & Materials

• 23.62 x 23.62 x 88 inches
• 19″x19″ platforms
• Engineered Wood

benefits & drawbacks of Frisco 88 to 106-in 3 Level Heavy Duty Cat Tower

Benefits	Drawbacks
Floor to ceiling design can be adjusted from 88 – 106″	Made in China
Secured to the ceiling using tension rods (included)	Minimum height is 7.3 feet, so not ideal for homes with very low ceilings
Roomy 22.5″ bed for napping and relaxing.	Can’t use it on popcorn ceilings
Sisal-wrapped post for scratching.

How it compares to others

As you can see, it’s one of the only modern cat trees that span from floor to ceiling, making it perfect for cats who REALLY love to climb.

Unlike many similar options, this one doesn’t wobble. Customers call it one of the sturdiest trees they’ve ever owned.

Recommendation

If you have an average to slightly large kitty and want to make the most use of the space you have, this is a fabulous choice.

Although the perches and bed are large enough for most big cats, they may still be a bit too small for Maine Coons and other ginormous breeds, though.

Again, since it’s a Chewy exclusive, you can shop with confidence. I’ve never, ever, ever had an issue returning something to Chewy.

9. Sphere Scratch Post Cat Tree: Most Attractive Design

If you need a good modern corner cat tree, the Sphere by Sauder is a fantastic pick.

While the space-saving tree isn’t exactly as robust as some of the other options, it packs a lot of fun into a smaller package.

Measurements & Materials

• 21.65 x 19.88 x 43.7 inches
• Wicker, metal hardware, sisal

Benefits & drawbacks of Sphere Scratch Post Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
Cute circular house made from banana leaf material	Pricey for such a small cat tree
1-year warranty	The wood part is MDF, not real solid wood
Ships free	Max weight is 20lbs, so it’s not big enough for large Maine Coon cats
Tripod base makes it a perfect fit for anywhere in your home, including corners.	Not ideal for more than one cat (unless they are very small and love to cuddle in one condo)
Sisal rope scratching post keeps cats from clawing your sofa.

How it compares to others

The design on this one is totally different from anything else on our list, and anything you’d find in a local pet shop.

If you don’t have a lot of room to spare, the fact that it doubles as a cat bed is pretty awesome.

Recommendation

While I wouldn’t recommend it for families with more than one cat, the Adrienne is a beautiful wicker-like cat tree for a single-kitty home.

It’s relatively unassuming and blends well with pretty much any decor. The single piece of carpeting is stylish enough that it doesn’t scream “cat furniture!”

10. zoovilla Modern: Best Folding Cat Tree Cat:

Some of us don’t really have a lot of space and don’t exactly want a giant cat tree standing out when company comes. That’s where a folding tree comes in handy!

Measurements & Materials

• 40.16 x 16.85 x 60.24″
• Engineered wood

Benefits & drawbacks of zoovila

Benefits	Drawbacks
Folds up just like a ladder	Levels are carpeted (but they’re stylish carpets)
Multiple levels for kitties to climb and play on	Only comes in white
Easy to assemble	A bit wobbly according to many users
Platforms are big enough for most cat breeds

How it compares to others

One of my favorite things about this cat tree compared to others is that I can use it as a shelf when my cat inevitably gets bored of it, thanks to the design.

I love cat furniture that does double duty like that!

Recommendation

Although I think it’s a bit on the pricey side for what amounts to a wooden ladder with carpeting, it’s definitely one of the more attractive folding cat trees.

It’s also very well-rated among users, so I don’t see how you can go wrong!

11. Hollywood Floor to Ceiling Cat Tower: Best for Small Cats

The Hollywood floor-to-ceiling cat tower may not look like much more than a few perches on a pole, but that’s actually the appeal for me.

Sometimes you just want something super simple that won’t stand out like a sore thumb or take up half of your floor.

Measurements & Materials

• Pole height can be adjusted from  87″ all the way up to 137″
• About 12″ wide
• The platforms stick out anywhere from 10-12″, depending on the model you choose.
• Made with wood and FLOR carpets (that’s the name of the brand, not a typo)

Benefits & Drawbacks of Hollywood Floor to Ceiling Cat Tower

Benefits	Drawbacks
Perfect for small homes	Won’t work for extra-high vaulted ceilings
Comes in multiple colors	Platforms are too narrow for XL cats
Choose from 8 different configurations	The largest configuration is pretty pricey
Order the pole from them or get your own from Ikea

How it compares to others

Aside from the obvious style differences, one thing I love about this cat tree versus other floor-to-ceiling options is the ability to completely customize your package.

For example, you can buy just the medium or large platforms, or a combo of both.

You can also choose to have them ship the pole with it (for an extra cost, of course), or order it yourself and maybe save some money if it’s on sale.

Recommendation

As much as I adore this modern cat tree, it’s really only a good fit if you have a small cat. The platforms are way too narrow for big kitties, especially breeds like the Maine Coon.

If you have the budget and the right-sized kitty, though, it’s a really sleek option. I particularly love the stone grey wood stain combined with Fedora Lagoon blue carpeting.

12. CatsPlay Stylish Bookcase Cat Tree: Best Bookshelf Option

This bookcase cat tree is perfect for those who want a modern-yet-vintage design. While it has a very “Great Gatsby” feel to it, the angles and faux fur definitely fit my idea of what a modern cat tree should look like.

Measurements & Materials

• 13” x 18.5” platforms
• Wood, Sisal, Faux fur

Benefits & drawbacks of CatsPlay Stylish Bookcase Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
Four platform styles and four frame colors	No information on overall dimensions
Removable faux fur perches/beds	A bit on the pricey side (but worth it for the durability)
Doubles as a spot for cat-friendly decor
Replaceable sisal scratchpad

How it compares to others

Compared to other modern bookshelf cat trees on our list, this one is better for those who want a minimalist design.

While the gold and white is very Art Deco, it does come in some more modern and crisp colors, including all white or all black.

Recommendation

With 13” x 18.5” platforms, it’s actually large enough for most breeds. While the overall dimensions aren’t listed (it’s a newer product, so I am assuming that’s an oversight), it does sit flush against a wall.

Like other bookshelf cat trees, this one is perfect if you prefer something that you can use even after your cat tires of it.

13. 8-Piece Modern Wall Cat Tree

Another great option for people short on space, this beautiful modern wall-mounted wooden cat tree comes with 8 different pieces, including four hexagon caves/perches, three steps, and a really neat bubble-style drop shelf.

Measurements & Materials

• Size varies by piece. See below.
• Birch plywood, Acrylic glass, Birch wood,

The perches and caves in the honeycombs are just over 19″ deep, making them large enough for most cats. The bubble drop shelf is a whopping 25.6″ as well.

Benefits & drawbacks of 8-Piece Modern Wall Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
Modular design	Assembly required
Eco-friendly	Relatively expensive
Large enough for almost every cat breed
Personalizable

How it compares to others

The only other comparable tree on this list is the Catissa. Both are incredibly gorgeous handmade pieces, but this one is slightly more modern in my opinion.

However, it’s not quite as modular as the Catissa. While you can control the spacing and some layout, you’ll want to line up the hexagon sides just right. Otherwise, it can look awkward.

Recommendation

Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s absolutely worth every penny, especially for a handmade item. If you have the budget for it, you’ll never have to buy another cat tree again.

Unfortunately, though, it’s not ideal for renters, as you’ll need to punch some decent-sized holes in the wall to hang it.

14. Luxury Cat Tree Tower

If the price tags on the trees above have you feeling a bit glum, you’ll LOVE this one! Not only is it beautiful and elegant, but it’s absolutely affordable.

Measurements & Materials

• There are multiple different configurations, but the one pictured here measures roughly 43″ high and 16″x 16″ on the floor.
• The perches are about 15.5″ round.
• Wood, Sisal

benefits & drawbacks of luxury cat tower

Benefits	Drawbacks
SUPER affordable	Cost $30 to ship
7 different styles	Can take up to 6 weeks to arrive
Handmade with wood and sisal
Personalization options

How it compares to others

No other cat tree on this list comes with quite as many unique configuration options. When I say “7 different styles,” I mean every single one is VASTLY different than the last.

Some include cute condos, others are higher with more perches. No two are alike at all.

Recommendation

While I actually like the styles with the cutesy cat condo the best for my own eclectic home, if you want something very modern, the option pictured here is definitely the way to go.

It’s large enough for most cats. However, if you have a ginormous 25-lb kitty, it may be a bit of a tight squeeze.

15. Happystack Modern Cat Home

With its sleek lines and muted neutral coloring, the Happy Stacks is another amazing modern tree for minimalists. With three separate tiers, each of your cats can have his own private hiding spot, too.

Measurements & Materials

• The 3-unit stack measures 41” high, with the top coming in at 13” x 13” and the base at 23” x 23,”
• Wood, Low-pile carpet

Benefits & drawbacks of Happystack Modern Cat Home

Benefits	Drawbacks
Four neutral color options	Not ideal for XXL cats over 25 lbs
Holds cats up to 25 lbs	Openings are a bit on the small side for Maine Coons
Low-pile carpet won’t shed all over
Beautiful clean lines

How it compares to others

The design is actually patented, so you won’t find it in any other cat tree. The units all stand together as seen above or work separately as little condos.

Recommendation

If you want something simple and sleek and your cat weighs under 25 lbs, this is a fantastic option. I love that you can separate it into little condos if your cat ever gets bored of using it as a tree.

16. Ace Pet Pals

Ace Pet Pals makes a few different types of rattan-style trees, but this is the only one I’d really call “modern,” mostly because of the black and white design.

Measurements & Materials

• 27″x19″x49″inches
• Recylced paper rope

Benefits & drawbacks of Ace Pet Pals

Benefits	Drawbacks
Eco-friendly materials	Thin material isn’t ideal for heavy scratchers
Paw-friendly grooves on the top perch	Not sturdy enough for larger cats
Multiple jute scratching surfaces (see drawback, though)
You can assemble the bottom cubby to face any direction

How it compares to others

While there are other eco-conscious options, Ace Pet Pals puts a strong focus on creating environmentally-friendly cat trees.

Recommendation

The materials are too light for cats like my Zoe who really go to town on scratching posts, but it’s fine for my “I’ll do the bare minimum to keep my nails ready for action, but that’s about it” Fuzz cat.

Given the very lightweight nature and the dimensions, I really only recommend it for kittens and small adult cats, though.

17.MidWest Feline Nuvo Biscayne Cat Tree

I’m a bit on the fence about whether this one is really considered modern or not. On the one hand, rattan always feels more “farmhouse” than “hipster” to me. On the other, though, the overall design is pretty fresh.

Measurements & Materials

• 4.61 x 29.53 x 61.03 inches
• Rattan, Sisal, Engineered Wood

benefits & drawbacks of MidWest Feline Nuvo Biscayne Cat Tree

Benefits	Drawbacks
All-natural rattan materials for a “natural beauty” look	On the pricey side for what it is
Stable enough for most breeds	Only one color
Easy to assemble	Only best for small to medium-sized cats

How it compares to others

The closest similar tree on this list is the Pet Pals one above. Between the two, this one is a bit pricier, yes, but it’s the better option in my opinion.

Where Pet Pals is ideal only for kittens and petite cats, this one is stable enough for all but the most ginormous of breeds.

Recommendation

Like I said earlier, it’s a coin toss on whether one can consider rattan modern. It really depends on your personal definition of the word and, of course, your tastes.

If you DO want a modern rattan cat tree, though, definitely go with this one if your cat is any larger than kitten or munchkin-sized.

18. PawHut Cat Tree Activity Condo with Hamster-Wheel: Most Unique

The winner of the “weirdest and most unique modern cat tree” award goes to this intriguing option by Paw Hut, a brand known for its rather quirky designs.

benefits & drawbacks of PawHut Cat Tree Activity Condo with Hamster-Wheel

Measurements & Materials

• 31.5 x 19.75 x 56.25 inches
• Wood, Pine, Plastic, Sisal

Benefits	Drawbacks
Interesting and unique style that makes a real statement in your home.	Only really big enough for tiny cats and kittens
All-in-one cat exercise wheel and gym	Pricey
Rotating hamster-wheel-style runner keeps cats active	Wobbly, and platforms are oddly spaced
Unfinished wood that you can stain or leave natural

How it compares to others

Pretty sure one look at it answers this question! It’s the only cat tree on our list that includes a kitty wheel. It really is a total cat gym!

Recommendation

Unfortunately, because of the size of the wheel (which, let’s be honest, is the main selling point), I can only recommend this to those with teensy-tiny kitties.

Also, some reviewers feel like the platforms are spaced in an odd manner that makes it hard for older cats to climb. So really it’s only good for kittens and young petite cats.

Still, if your cats fall in that range, it really is a neat tree!

19. CatastrophiCreations Deluxe Cat Fort Wall Mounted Lounge

If you’ve read literally any of my other cat tree posts, you know I’m a big fan of CatastrophiCreations. While I find them a smidge on the pricey side, they really are worth the high price tag.

Measurements & Materials

• Total Width: 38” Total Height: 60” Depth: 11”
• Solid Wood, Heavy Canvas

Benefits & drawbacks of CatastrophiCreations Deluxe Cat Fort Wall Mounted Lounge

Benefits	Drawbacks
Completely modular, hang them however you’d like*	Expensive
Wall-mounted space-saving design	*Requires mounting onto a stud, which can be hard for renters
Strong enough to hold heavy cats

How it compares to others

CatastrophiCreations is far from the only wall-mounted cat tree out there, but it’s definitely among the unique. It also has a pretty dedicated fan base compared to other brands.

Recommendation

If you can swing the high cost, the ONLY time I wouldn’t recommend these is if you’re a renter who can’t punch holes in the walls.

Other than that, they’re pretty much the coolest cat trees around, and perfect for those with a major lack of space.

20. Custom-Painted Mau: Best Designer Cat Tree

I am obsessed with Mau’s cat furniture, but most of their stuff is more rustic than modern, with this being the only real exception. Aren’t they gorgeous?

Measurements & Materials

•  Base: 23″ | Height: 32″ (although since they use natural wood, dimensions can vary slightly)
• Ultra-comfy plush, treated real wood, rope

Benefits & drawbacks of Custom-Painted Mau

Benefits	Drawbacks
Handmade and professionally crafted	No returns on the custom-painted items
One-of-a-kind piece (each is made to order)	Can take a few weeks to arrive
Three stunning color combinations
Extremely high-quality and durable construction

How it compares to others

Mau is unique for so many reasons, from the premium handmade materials to the expert craftsmanship to the beautiful designs.

However, for me, the one thing that really makes them stand out is that they donate 5% of profits to animal charities AND plant a real tree for every cat tree sold.

Recommendation

If you’re willing to spend a smidge extra (although it’s not the most expensive on this list by a long shot) on a designer cat tree that literally no one else in the world will have, you can’t go wrong with Mau.

I love that this really does double as a piece of art, so even if your cats get bored with it you’ll still have a reason to keep it around. It’s right at home in a luxury apartment!

Final Recommendation

It’s hard to choose a favorite modern cat tree because it really depends on the look you’re going for.

Personally, I love the Tuft and Milo tree because it’s built to last a lifetime.

However, if you want something a bit subtler, I also adore the Refined Feline modern cat tree.

Your turn! Tell me below, which of these modern cat trees is your favorite?
