It took my cats a while to warm up to this scratching post. Perhaps they were intimidated by the sheer size of it; the thing is absolutely massive. For the first month they more or less ignored it, and it simply took up space — a lot of space, did I mention it was massive? — in my upstairs hallway. Then they started using it, a few scratches here, a few scratches there. Now it gets use multiple times a day for a bit of good scratching time. The younger, spryer cat likes to scale it with her claws and then perch atop it, like an Egyptian princess. And they do seem to appreciate the ability to get a good stretch in while using it. So, all in all, a good purchase.NINE MONTH UPDATE: After nine months the cats are still loving this. I have it in a hallway they pass through a lot and they are always stopping to get a good scratch in. The small cat still loves to scale it and perch atop. Great addition to the house!TWO YEAR UPDATE: The older cat (who isn’t all that old but is lazy) is no longer interested in this post. There are a lot of scratching posts in the house and there is another, smaller set of posts that are part of a climbing multi-platform tree that he prefers. But the younger cat (now about 3-4 years old) still loves it and plays with it all the time! She still enjoys scaling it like she’s climbing a tree, and perches gargoyle-like atop it. And it’s held up very well over the years.

I just received this cat tree and set it up in less than 5 minutes. Overall it seems sturdy, it might be a tiny bit wobbly though. I’m not sure how it will hold up over time but I really love the wicker details and for the price this is one of the best options I’ve found. Most of these style cat trees are over $100 and this one was around $75 at the time I purchased it. I would definitely purchase another cat tree made by this company in the future. There are 3 main pieces you have to screw together and then the 2 beds that are separate pieces. I appreciate being able to remove the cushions since cat hair can collect, and it’s so hard to clean off the other style that are more like carpet. This style allows you to use your own bed if you want and easily wash the bedding.My cats love it already and these two usually can’t stand being near each other. I’ll update this review if I have any issues over the next couple months.

The media could not be loaded. My kitty is having so much fun on this cat tree! She loves the Pom Pom the best. I’m worried she will wear it out soon! It’s is very sturdy and hasn’t wobbled at all when she jumps on and off of it. The fabric is thick and she scratches the canvas as well as the scratch area. Assembly was very simple as well. The color had tans and beige and isn’t just black and white like the photo shown but it is very pretty in person and looks much more expensive than it was. The round bed piece is nicely padded inside for extra kitty comfort too. Great buy & happy entertained cat!

My Mainecoons love this scratching post. Nice to have something big enough for them. My photo shows our old store bought scratcher next to this oneUpdate: after 5 years it’s seen better days but still holding strong and the cats still love it

The media could not be loaded. Two of my cats loved to climb my old scratching post and attempt to sit atop. I saw a photo of my friends cat on this scratcher and I asked her where in the world she found it and bought it for myself. It’s super tall – if I stand next to it and my cat is sitting on top, my cat is almost as tall as me and I’m 5’4! It gives them lots of scratching room to stretch out, to climb, to stand on top and it’s super thick around and very sturdy. Seriously, this is the best scratching post you could ever find and if you’re in need of one for your cats – get it. Get it now! Video attached of my silly cat chasing his tail on top of the scratcher.

If you want happy, magical kitties, then buy this! This purchase was made based on height. The larger towers seem a hazard to me, especially with two active kitties. This is the perfect height! I am also able to move it around the house more easily then the traditional tower style. Our cats love to spring up on the platform, or into the tunnel. They enjoy laxing on this as well as they watch us go about. They bat at each other and the fluff ball that hangs nearby. They love to scratch their nails on it as well. The material has exceeded my expectation and does not leave any carpet fibers or fuzz behind for my kitties to be naughty and chomp on. Great play design for all magical kitties!!

I ordered this scratching post because I have a large cat and wanted something durable. It had great reviews and others commented it was great for big cats- perfect, I ordered it. Two days later it was here and I literally laughed as I put it together. Assembly was easy and the product is sturdy…… but it is HUGE. Laughable huge. Good product, I would absolutely recommend. Just be aware that it’s massive. I included a picture for scale. 😂

*Update* I bought the first one in 2018. We got a second cat in 2019. It’s now 2022 and I finally had to buy them a new one because they had sufficiently worn the original one down. $50 feels like a lot at first, but you absolutely get your money’s worth.I was so sick of buying scratch posts from Walmart or Petco that lasted 6 months or less. My cat would just rip through them in no time at all, and I wanted to make sure he had somewhere to scratch but also wanted to preserve my bank account. I did some research and found out about sisal, and even though I wasn’t excited to drop almost $50 on a scratching post, I figured it was worth a shot if it was as great as everyone said it was. Let me tell you, I don’t regret it at all. I’ve had this scratching post for almost a year, and it’s still in really good shape. I added a current photo of it, and as you can see he kind of sticks to one side, so if that side gets really worn down I can just turn it for him. I also really like how tall it is so that way he can scratch at different angles/heights. Definitely one of the best investments I’ve made for my cat, and I will never buy something that isn’t as durable as sisal again.

Ideally, I’d subtract one-half star because the unit is a bit wobbly by design. The base is the same size as the two platforms above it; perhaps if it was a bit bigger it would provide more of a solid foundation. I placed it next to a wall for more stability. Once my cats got used to the slight movement as they jumped onto it, it was fine. They use each of the levels and even my 19 lb. thug of a cat likes to squeeze himself into the hideout on the bottom. Assembly was a breeze, requiring only a screwdriver (allen wrench is included). There are a couple of plastic caps to cover the two exposed screw heads. These kept coming off so I glued them on, solving the problem. The black portions are a plush fabric and vacuum easily. The biggest selling point for me was the fact that this isn’t just another ugly piece of cat furniture – it actually looks great! Perfect for small to medium-sized cats…okay for bigger cats who think they are small.

I recently adopted a 4 month old male tabby. I wanted to give him something to play with during the day while I work as well as his own little space. I have a small space so most cat trees were too large for where I would have space for it to sit. This was perfect! It was easy to put together (less than 10 minutes, would have been less time than that even but he wanted to crawl into the cubby and perch on the stands as I was trying to put it together). The dangle toy is secured really nicely and gave him hours of fun playing with it. The cubby is padded for extra comfort which you don’t find with many other cat trees. The scratching area is placed in a really good area. The base is large enough for him to lay on, which is another feature not seen in most other cat trees. The free base at the top is a pretty good size. I was quite surprised at the color of this tree. I was not expecting the silver in the roses or the rose gold/bronze in the leaves, but adds that high end decor touch to the room instead of making it look bland. I would highly suggest this for anyone who has a small place but wants their kitten or cat to have something to play with for hours on end.
