We have 5 full-grown cats, ranging in weight from 10 to 14 lbs. They are very rough on their scratching posts. This is the only post we have found to be tall enough and which can hold up to their rough scratching. The posts usually lasts 2 years. Our last one had a flaw that we did nothing about and it only lasted 10 months. We are still sold on this product and the last one we bought is in great condition. I'm sure it will last much longer.

My cat Ana loves this scratching post. The ball attached has kept her busy. Recently moved so my cat is slowly adjusting.

It is very large and looks nice, but mine came without the hardware! So I’ll have to return it. Disappointed.

If this is a sisal covering on the post, the covering runs up and down instead of AROUND THE POST. The sisal pattern lines are vertical, not horizontal, NOT CIRCULAR going AROUND THE POST. it's a mess. haven't seen MaxCat scratch on it not even once. kept it because Maxi sits on the perch and looks out window. was this a manufacturing error?

Just put this together, the overall construction is extremely poor. The "scratching" material is applied terribly, and is already coming off. Would not recommend to anyone.

As soon as we assembled this scratch perch for our new kitten, both the kitten and our 10-yr old cat were playing with it. I didn't know our senior cat was interested in playing with anything, but this scratching post inspired her.

I have a large cat. He stretches on it,perfect for his size, good price

My cats like this scratch post. It is a fairly decent post but, not as well-made as other posts that I've purchased before. I hope that it lasts!
