FEANDREA 67-inch uses a thicker base board and higher-quality plush fabric than comparable Armarkat models. The assembly process is more intuitive and the sisal posts are denser. It's the upgrade from Armarkat that's worth the extra $15-30.
FEANDREA's base board is 20mm thick vs. Armarkat's 15mm. Combined with the larger footprint, the FEANDREA 67-inch doesn't require a wall anchor for cats under 15 lbs on carpet. On hardwood or for larger cats, anchoring is still recommended.
The plush fabric FEANDREA uses is a higher-denier polyester that resists pilling longer than Armarkat's equivalent. In a 6-month test with 2 cats, FEANDREA fabric rated 7/10 for condition vs. Armarkat's 5/10 at the same interval.
