Best scratching post for large cats
I didn’t realize our tiny Siamese-mix kitten was going to grow into a 15-lb., 28″ long (not counting tail, and still growing) cat.Most standard scratching posts top out at about 30″. We realized this wasn’t going to be enough to let the big guy stretch properly when he started going after the backs of the 35″ high counter-height dining chairs and sofa.This scratching post has been the salvation of our furniture. Not only is it tall enough, this heavy-duty post is sturdy enough that the heavy-duty cat can get a running start and go for a good climb. Both of our cats seem to enjoy using it daily, and the rope isn’t showing noticable wear yet.Assembly was very simple, with only four parts to screw together, no special tools required. The base is just large enough to give it decent stability. I can see the post rock a little when the cat is particularly aggressive, but it won’t overturn and the cat certainly isn’t deterred from climbing to the top.As cat furniture goes, it’s about averagely attractive – I could wish for more colors or darker rope, but this is the only post I could find that was both long enough and reasonably priced, short of investing in the equipment to make my own.

Heavy well made
This is very sturdy. Cats love it!! I added a string toy at the top. This is worth the price. Not flimsy like the others!!! This is big and awesome!

Perfect for our first kitty.
We were looking for a tree that was tall so our new addition could access my daughter’s loft bed. This tree checked all my boxes. 1) relatively small base; 2) NOT BEIGE; 3) tall; 4) scratching posts.The post positions in the base are symmetrical and enable you to assemble with the perched cozy bed on either the right or left. Instructions don’t indicate that, but thinking mirror image enabled me to do just that so it’s perfect for us. The two multi-fabric platforms are attached to supporting posts with bolts (allen wrench tool is provided to screw them in) and black plastic caps are provided for a finished look. The caps don’t fit as securely as I’d like, so we left them off for fear of kitty removing and possibly eating them. This is our first kitty so I may be overcautious to think of cats like toddlers who will put anything in their mouths.I was impressed with the quality of this tree. Edges are all finished, posts are fat and heavy. The top platform screws onto the post, then the cozy bed has a flange that slips over the platform and is secured with a drawstring. The listing photo makes it look like it just has a raised edge toward the back, but it is much more like a small cave. The pillow in the bed seems a bit overstuffed, but will probably flatten some with time and use.My only complaint is the packaging. The carton in which the tree arrived was probably not rated for the weight of the item. The edges of the carton were torn and it appeared that tape had been used to keep it together through rough handling during shipping. I was mostly concerned about the small parts (bolts, tool, etc.) bag being lost in transport, but all was okay. If Midwest reads reviews here, I’d advise them to upgrade the packaging quality or reinforce all edges before shipping.

Sturdy and looks nice.
I bought this scratch post 2 months ago. My cat is 1.5 years old and full of energy and pretty large. He climbs up and down it all the time. The rope seems to wear well and does not make a mess. Highly recommend. kp

Ce pilier est très apprécié par mes Maine Coon.Ils adorent y faire leurs griffes, l’escalader, s’y percher.Ils en sont pleinement satisfaits.

Ho tre gatti, e tutti si divertono moltissimo con questo tiragraffi. È morbido, ben costruito e realizzato con materiali di qualità. Lo consiglio se avete uno spazio in casa da riempire.
