01The lineup

Built for the apartment, the townhouse, and the two-cat household.

Four pieces, all on FSC-certified oak, all with replaceable panels. They ship flat-pack and assemble without tools — a single Allen key, included, even though you won't need it.

The Bough

from $540

The flagship. A floor-to-ceiling climber with three platforms, a suspended hammock, and brass hardware — designed to look like the other piece of joinery in the room.

02What's inside the wood

FSC-certified hardwood. Replaceable panels. No mystery carpet.

We're explicit about what's inside because the cat-tree aisle isn't. Every piece is built on kiln-dried European oak, joined with brass, finished with food-grade oils, and wrapped in jute or sisal where the claws meet the frame — never carpet, never glue carpet to chipboard.

Kiln-dried European oak

FSC-C123456 · 18mm · square-cut

Sourced from FSC-certified European hardwood mills. Each frame is square-cut and kiln-dried to a workshop-stable 8% moisture content so it does not rack in your living room.

Jute & sisal panels

Replaceable · $15 / panel · snap-on

Natural plant-fiber scratching panels, attached with hidden brass tabs. A worn pad ships flat in a $15 replacement — the frame stays, the landfill does not.

Hand-rubbed pet-safe oil

Linseed · beeswax · food-grade

Each frame is finished with a hand-rubbed blend of food-grade linseed oil and beeswax — no solvents, no off-gassing in a closed room.

Solid brass hardware

No plated zinc · no screws visible

All joints use solid brass barrel bolts and hidden cam locks. No plated zinc to flake, no visible screws — the hardware is part of the piece, not a wart on it.

03What we're not

A carpeted Amazon tree solves one problem — keeping the cat scratchy — and creates three more: it's ugly, it lands in landfill in a year, and it never fits the room.

04The story

The cat tree should be a piece of furniture — not a place you hide a piece of furniture when guests come over.

Founder · Brooklyn, NY

Boughhouse started in a Brooklyn studio shared by an industrial designer and two unsupervised cats. We were tired of choosing between a piece of carpet-draped chipboard hidden in the corner and a $4,000 architectural cat tree we couldn't actually buy.

So we built our own — out of off-cuts from a nearby mill, with scratching pads that could be swapped instead of thrown away. We posted it on Instagram. The comments wanted to buy it.

We're launching direct, one piece at a time, the same way Barkitecture carved out a category with a story instead of a SKU. Design-boutique and specialty retail partnerships come later, once the brand has earned shelf space.
