Ugly pipe wrapped in sisal rope

I recently created a little appartment in an old workplace of my dad. Where my bed is, there was left an ugly pipe (don't know what it was used for...)
My dad wanted to make a little cabinet over it to hide it, but while waiting for this I thought why not make it a part of the rest of the cat tree =)



I used double sided tape and sisal rope (the cheapy kind). Easy transformation!
