  • Great Cat Scratcher
Style: Scratching Post Color: Grey Size: 31.5" H
This an excellent value for cats who like to scratch--obviously most do. We have several indoor cats and have several larger cat scratchers which they do like. This smaller and less expensive unit is great for kittens--the original reason we bought it--but also smaller cats. They last a long time but that of course depends upon the usage but it is a quality item and easy to put together plus at a great price. ... show more

  • Tall and sturdy.
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
Tall and sturdy. My cats love it. Doesn’t fall over great quality. Shows very little sign of wear after a few months. This is a keeper and I will buy another. Cats love to perch on it too! Well worth the money.

  • Good scratcher!
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
My kitty loves this thing! It looks great in the home and the base is wide enough that it is not very wobbly when using and sturdy when sitting on top. It is easy to clean and barely sheds as it is woven fairly well. He seems to really like the texture and has stopped scratching the couch a lot more. Even when he had his previous scratcher (much different than this) he still used the couch more than he does with this scratcher. Great price too!! ... show more

  • Good overall quality but
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
This is an overall a good quality scratching post. Seems very sturdily built with heavy bolts. The only problem is the threaded inserts to attach the base are off center and it was difficult to try to get the bolts in the product.

I could get two in the other two were difficult I struggled for about 10 minutes on the third one the fourth one I just couldn’t get to line up with the other three in. I’m a handyman used to be in construction so it’s not user error. It’s definitely how they placed those inserts so other than that works great. ... show more

  • Good
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
Just as pictured. So. I had bought the Amazon one looooong time ago. It has wood not fluffy on the bottom and top and honestly I think it was heavier. The difference I notice is that it does wobble a fair amount. And I don’t mean wobble just on its own. My cats like to jump from it up onto something else. They will climb it and jump off. During this jump off I notice the stand will wobble the opposite way a great deal enough I was a bit like hmm I need to secure this more. It’s located near where I workout so I have 2 sets of big 8lbs red weights and I just put it on the side towards the jump direction and it doesn’t wobble at all. It’s perfect to jump from. I think there was a string and nail to maybe keep it onto a wall? I’m not sure. The instructions were terrible.. but it’s fairly straightforward. The top screw you need to make sure the top has the “smaller side” upwards. So the longest part will screw into the top of the stand. I like the addition of the fluff vs the old. The weight obviously was better and a bit sturdier due to that. Again adding my weights to one side fixed it. It is much cheaper I think the other is about $50 and this is like $36 so that is nice. There’s an odd lip of the sisal on one side. The old wood one I have is fully box shaped, no lip. No real drawback I notice just odd. This seems nice so far. The other one I had I’ve probably had for like 5-6years now. ... show more

  • Perfect, sturdy and good height.
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
Great cat scratching post! Cats love it! They immediately used it to stretch their backs. That seems to be their favorite thing to stretch their back out now because it is tall enough. They also perch on the top. It was a great buy!!

  • Bigger Than I thought and Saving my Curtains!
Style: Premium Scratching Post Color: Brown Size: 35.4" H
I own three cats, one of which (1.5 year only Maine Coon) has always taken a liking to our bedroom curtains. I needed something large and wide to help him get his urge to stretch and scratch out. This turned out perfect! I was looking for something tall and wide, and this turned out larger than I thought! It's sturdy enough for my 12lb hour cats to climb and sit on top of, and has stood up to our larger cat playing with and scratching. The set up was slightly annoying when attaching the base to the trunk of the scratcher, but nothing one person can't handle. Took me about 30minutes altogether to build it solo. The picture instructions were easy enough to follow, and it even comes with a wall attachment for extra stability if you need it. My boys took to it immediately, and love playing with the ball on a string. The wide trunk is perfect, and my cats can comfortably fit two paws on it. The best part, it's distracted my larger cat away from my curtains, for the most part 🤣 Overall, 100% worth it and at a great price point. Considering buying another more for other rooms in the future. ... show more

  • Cats like it
Style: Scratching Post Color: Grey Size: 31.5" H
My cats actually use this and it is tall enough that they can stretch and stand up against it, which is the main appeal for them in destroying the couch. So I think this has reduced the amount of couch scratching. Worthwhile!
