Designers are creating versatile furniture that goes beyond intended use, such as the Coral cat scratching post, which doubles as a functional side table. A recent example is this 2-tier storage solution from IKEA that also functions as a cozy cat house, making it an intriguing option for cat parents. The pet furniture offers a simple yet clever storage idea to store toys in a clutter-free space. If you are not using it for storage, you can turn it into a snug retreat for your felines to relax. We are sure your cats wouldn’t want to come out of it.
“Originally, we intended to buy it just to store toys, but our cats wound up loving it more than any actual cat tower we have bought for them, so we let them have it. It’s held out surprisingly well despite our cats’ insistence on scratching up the mesh on the corners. It’s held up VERY well against 5 cats for an entire year and is still standing and used. We love it enough, and it was affordable, that we definitely want to buy more and back-ups for as long as it continues to keep our cats occupied and their toys well stored,” one IKEA customer’s review says.
Designed by Johanna Jelinek, the TIGERFINK storage with compartments has a 2-tier design with circular holes, making it easy for your buddy to walk inside and snuggle in comfort. There are three storage sections, with an easily accessible lower level, a safe spot for your fur baby who likes to stay closer to the ground.
The middle compartment, on the other hand, gives them a sense of elevation, whereas the top level can be used for storing your feline’s toys. Unlike the lower level, the second compartment is not that accessible and requires your kitty to jump through. For an elderly cat, use a small ramp for her to get in comfortably. You can add plush cushions to make the space cozier for your babies.
This storage solution is made from 90 percent recycled polyester, making it sturdy and safe without sharp edges. The mesh fabric of the storage is see-through, which allows you to keep an eye on your cat, as PetHelpful mentions. This storage unit requires assembly, which might be a bit hassle for some. But once assembled, it will become your pal’s favorite spot.

Another customer wrote, “I bought this as a tower/bed/storage for my cats. They absolutely love it. I put cushions on the middle and bottom tiers to give it some padding. Took one star off because the bottom of the fabric doesn’t necessarily sit flat because of all the tension from the poles. But for the price and purpose, I think this is great. Assembly is a little tricky because of all the tugging and pulling on the fabric to keep the tension, but I was able to do it on my own in 30 minutes. Definitely would be easier with two people.”
If you don’t have cats, the TIGERFINK Storage with Compartments is a practical storage option in your home for kids to store their toys after playtime. It’s a versatile storage unit that can adapt to your diverse needs. The product is available at IKEA for just $20.
