I have two cats. One tried to eat it (we're getting her the birch one to try out), but Goblin immediately started inspecting it and climbed in for a nap. She loves anything basket shaped and this perch is a clear hit!
It is super solid, easy to put together and really well anchored. It does need a solid piece of furniture to be anchored to, I think, but my desk is more than solid enough for this to be attached to it!
Thanks so much for sharing this, and give Goblin a little head scratch from us — sounds like she’s claimed her new throne already! 😸 We’d love to hear how she (and her sibling) like the birchwood model once it arrives.
We’re so glad setup was a breeze. You’re absolutely right about needing a solid anchor point — as long as your desk is around the standard thickness (most particle board or laminate desks are about 1.8 cm thick), the ERGO PURRCH will attach securely and support weight perfectly. The mounting system is engineered to distribute pressure evenly, so it stays sturdy and stable without damaging the desk — and it can safely clamp onto surfaces up to 2.75 inches thick.
Thanks again for sharing your experience and for giving your cats such a great view!

Looks great on my wife's desk. Installation couldn't have been easier. Feels sturdier than a bed I ordered from a different brand of equal price for my desk, and I wish I had gone with this one instead.
I did have an issue with UPS charging me a customs fee for delivery when there shouldn't have been one. Ergo support reached out to me quickly to resolve the issue.
Really appreciate the note on the aesthetics, Logan! And you're definitely not the first to mention that about other brands — we put a lot into the design and build of our beds, so it’s great to hear that it’s coming through. Thanks as well for your patience with the UPS situation — glad we could jump in and get that sorted quickly for you.

Surprisingly well built. The clamp and arm would support quite a lot of weight. The included pad is soft and plush but thin. We used a folded towel under the pad for additional cushion. The basket is very attractive and looks larger than expected. It's a comfortable and spacious purch even for a large cat. Assembly was fast and easy with the two premium Allen wrenches provided. Does not wobble at all. Our cat loves it!
Saw several versions on my IG feed and very happy I decided on the Ergo. Solid bracket and arm and the basket is comparable to the one on our Mau.
Love how sturdy it is, the pads in the clamp to protect the surface and help grip, and the genral esthetic. Disappointed the bolt is not counter sunk into the wood platform; it creates a high hard spot easily felt thru the pad.
Kitty loved it. She napped there all day while I worked and I didn't find my chair stolen anymore
Haha, love that! Sounds like they’ve claimed their spot—and you finally get to keep yours. Peaceful coexistence at last.
I received my order on Saturday, which I did not expect! It is so sturdy and well-made, and it only took about 15 minutes to assemble, most of which was just getting the positioning right. My cat loves it because she can now look out of her favourite window, and I am happy to support a Canadian company. Very impressed!
Thanks for the kind review, Stephanie! So glad it got to you quicker than expected—and even better that your girl’s loving her new window view. Sounds like the perfect perch for some quality bird watching!
Our little guy loves his Ergo Purrch so so much! I really wanted to write a review to let everyone know how fantastic this has been for our cat!
It probably took about 2 weeks for him to be comfortable with it, everytime I tried to put him in, he jumped out pretty quickly. But once it became his idea, he now uses it daily.
I was so excited about this Purrch because we have a tiny house and our cat is constantly on the counters, which I know is to watch us and have a high point away from the dog. He is now near-constantly in it, especially when we are working on the counter, he loves to be beside us and watch what we are doing.
The price point seemed a bit high for what it is, but with the hardware and quality it is definitely good value. One of my concerns was its stability, but it is a very solid arm that attaches securely to the counter, and has not moved since install . It easily takes his psycho zoomie body slams into it, as well as being used as a launching pad.
At first I was annoyed the pillow did not have some sort of velcro that holds the pillow down as he constantly pushes it out, but I read that it was a choice the designers made, because some cats prefer it without the pillow which seems to be the case for him.
I like the shape of the handwoven basket and he loves to put his lil chin on the side, or have a paw hanging out. He has started to tear apart the basket a bit, but I think it will be an easy fix if it gets to the point of it being unusable.
Their customer service is amazing! It took about 2 months for me to receive the purch due to the high demand the company was facing, but they were super transparent with their wait times. When I emailed them asking them when it may arrive they told me what was happening and when to hopefully expect it. Most companies would ignore my email, or give some run around to not take responsibility, but they were very clear. I don’t mind waiting if I know what’s happening!
The last awesome benefit of the Ergo Purrch is that it puts our lil guy at the perfect level to give him lil kisses on the top of his head. I love that he is in the perfect spot for cuddles, but also to play. He loves playing “catch the hand” when you scratch on different areas under the bed, and he rolls around to try and catch you. He jumps up into his bed whenever you walk by for cuddles or play, it has just been so great for him and us.
Great product, obviously I highly recommend this for all kitty cat’s, and I imagine buying multiple if we ever move to a bigger house!
Thank you Ergo Purrch!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this beautiful and thoughtful review! It really means a lot to hear how your little guy has made the Ergo Purrch his own—on his terms, of course. We totally get the counter dilemma in a small space, and it’s wonderful knowing the Purrch has become his go-to spot to stay close & cozy.
We're glad the wait was worth it and appreciate your patience and understanding. And yes—those basket chin props and casual paw hangs never get old! Thanks again for letting us be a part of your home and his daily routines.
Loved it and so does my cat! It’s everything it says it is .. well crafted , sturdy, stylish . Worth every penny!
We're so glad to hear both you and your cat are loving it! It means a lot to know the craftsmanship and design are living up to expectations—thank you for taking the time to share this ❤️
I purchased this for our camper not only to save space but our cats love these baskets. They traveled well clamped to the table. My cats each weigh around 12 pounds each. There was no movement. They relaxed in them all the time. They are solid and worth the money. I will also be able to use these elsewhere when the camper in not in use.
That’s wonderful to hear! We’re so glad the baskets worked out perfectly for your camper and that your cats felt safe and comfortable during travel.
We really appreciate you noticing the quality—it means a lot since we put so much care into each product! Love your idea of using them outside the camper, too. Other customers have gotten creative with window sills, garage workbenches, kitchen islands, and of course the original favorite—desks (to keep those keyboards cat-free 😄). Thanks again for the kind words, Denise!
We purchased these for our camper, and they are game changers! while giving the cats a perch they love, they can look out the wondows and allow space on the table for their water and food. They are very sturdy and traveled in place as well. I don't have to take them up and down.

My cat loves his perch! It's sturdy and well made.
It was a shame that it was a little dirty in places.
But it's well-made and stable. I think it's a good product.
Extremely high quality. Very sturdy. Looks great. Our cats love it!
Better than expected. Well made product. Great perch for my kitties.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear the perch exceeded your expectations!
Crazy amazing
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
Very solid and attractive. I put my cat in it, she kneaded the whole cushion for about five minutes, then went to sleep in it until dinnertime. She came out to eat, and went right back in. A definite win.
That’s so sweet to hear—sounds like she gave it the ultimate stamp of approval! Thanks for sharing her reaction 😻
Great quality and great style to fit right in with my kitchen decor. My Maine Coon loves being involved in everything and the purrch allows him to do that from a distance. Great for safety and cleanliness. We love it!
Thanks for the kind words! King Winston is indeed a dashing gentleman — clearly well deserving of his throne and such a loving family. We love that you keep him involved in everything; that’s all our fur-babies ever want. Gorgeous home, by the way.
It took over 4 months to receive our cat bed, but if Midnight could speak, she’d say it was worth the wait. Well made, sturdy & looks good, ore importantly, she uses it all the time and is off our keyboard! Pay attention to estimated delivery dates when you order and be prepared to wait. We believe it was worth it.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! You're absolutely right—pre-orders can take a little time depending on what stage we're in, and we're grateful you highlighted that for future customers. Each run is handcrafted with care—so it means a lot that you noticed the quality. Most of all, we're thrilled Midnight approves and is happily off the keyboard!
