How assembly works

  1. Remove cat from box.
  2. Repeat step 9.

Trees ship ready to assemble, with the hardware and the tools in the box. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Steps 9 and 10 are the only ones we can’t promise will work.

Cattila the Hun Chief Quality Officer

Every design
has to survive her.

Cattila turned up as a stray when we moved into the Jefferson City building in 2023. She claimed it and stayed. She is on the org chart, reporting, in theory, to our production manager.

Before a new design is released, it spends a week with her in the break room. If she damages it, it goes back to the drawing board. We log the results. Really.

The Summit held, so it carries her seal. Summit 2.0 hasn’t held yet: she has taken apart three prototypes so far.

The Cattila Approved seal: a cat in an open box, inside a ring that reads Cattila Approved, Built in Missouri.
