PAWBEE Cat Scratching Post – Tall 32” Sisal Rope Cat Scratch Post + Jingle Bell & Softball – Playful, Quality, & Sturdy – Scratcher Pole Tower – Scratching Posts for Indoor Cats Adults Large Cats

Very sturdy, nice looking and the cats love it
This overall was very easy to put together. The only exception to that was the bottom. It folds in half so trying to hold it flat while getting the screw to go through into the hole, holding the post at the bottom and tightening the screw all at the same time was a bit difficult. Once my husband held the bottom piece flat for me, it was together in seconds.I had a scratching post when I first got the cats last year and it was horrible. The carpet shed all over the house, even when not in use. So I was glad to find this had a very tight, indoor/outdoor type carpet which should not shed at all. The top post has sisal rope which the cats love to use their claws on. The bottom has a hanging dingle bell with a hole on each side, not just the front. My two cats love to get on each side and bat the ball back and forth through the two holes.This is tall enough for them to stretch out fully and get a good scratch, which makes them happy. The piece looks nice and blends well with the furniture, which makes me happy. And while big enough to be sturdy, it is small enough to fit into a corner out of the way. Overall, everyone is happy with it. I only wish I had found it earlier.

Well made and the kitties love it!
I’ve been really happy with this cat scratching post. My one kitty was scratching up my good rug, and I was searching for a sturdy one that had carpeting. This one has both the sisal rope and carpet. It’s heavy enough that they don’t knock it over, and my kiddos can be pretty rough! It’s a great height for those kitties that love to stretch up full length and claw the doorways. They love playing on it,

Cat loves it
This is a nice sturdy cat scratching post. It stands 36 in tall and my big cat loves it. He can scratch at full extension. He also likes to play with the pom pom toys attached to the post. It assembled quickly and easily and is sturdy. My cat is 15lbs and doesn’t knock it over. I recommend this tower if you are looking for one.

DANGER!! CUT THE BALLS OFF IMMEDIATELY!
This just happened. 🙁 I have the post in a sunroom outside and suddenly I hear one cat screaming from there. I RUN OVER TO FIND THE ELASTIC CORD FOR THE TOP FUZZY BALL WRAPPED TIGHTLY AROUND HER PAW AND SHE IS HANGING THERE LIKE THAT! CAT IS 12″ NOSE TO BUTT. i HAD TO WHIP OUT MY POCKET KNIFE AND CUT THE DAMN CORD TO FREE HER. I’VE SINCE CUT OFF BOTH BALLS. If this had happened at night when I couldn’t hear the screaming I am sure she would have lost the end of her paw. I didn’t get a good look at how the cord managed to wrap tight like that, was too much of a panic. The post seemed good when I got it a week ago and I have it mounted to a much larger, heavier base I use for scratching posts that keeps them from tipping over (made of 2 layers of 3/4″ MDF board, 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft). ANY scratching post only lasts so long, in my experience, because it is being clawed all day! Just have to accept that they have to be replaced every so often. Easy enough with 1 bolt mounting. That bolt is a M8 x 1.25 metric, if the one packed with isn’t long enough and you need longer like I did. Home stores around here only go to 60 mm long, you can get any length at bolt depot on the net So – after all this – the post is actually a keeper with the balls cut off now. It is about 1.5 inches wider in both directions than the old one I had bought at a local pet store a year ago (and the cats destroyed over the course of the year), which is good. Does the job, just get rid of those balls! Maybe the reason more people haven’t reported this is that mine doesn’t tip over with the larger, heavier, base. If the cat had got caught with the base packed with the post I’m certain it would have tipped over, and she at least wouldn’t have been hanging there. BUT that cord is ELASTIC and effectively was acting like a tourniquet. She would have likely still lost the paw even if it had tipped over and nobody was around to free her.

I have found this to be stable and functional. I didn’t have any trouble putting it together and all parts arrived with no damage or faults. My two cats (aged 9) are using it regularly, even playing with the toy in the hole, which I expected them to ignore. I like the height and sturdiness. The cats are able to push it a bit (my floor is ceramic tile), but it doesn’t slide or fall over, I have only noticed it moved about an inch since my original placement months ago. The carpet is getting a bit fuzzy in one spot that is the most repetitively scratched, but it still looks decent and definitely has a long life of usefulness ahead before it may need replacement for cosmetic looks. The rope area still looks brand new. I am glad I bought this one and would recommend it to anyone. My cats took to it immediately and are clearly enjoying it.

Bought the new post 3 weeks ago. Its an additional one from what we have . Our cat is too lazy to venture to another corner to scratch a post, so she scratches anything around her, so we bought a second one and placed it in another corner.Its was easy and straightforward to assemble the pieces.The rope covering which initially seems robust, started to fray and unwind giving a post a worn-out appearance, which is disproportionate to its short time in use. This is especially disappointing as I expected better longevity given the price.I understand that some wear and tear are inevitable with regular use, but that one was too fast ( it looks like our second post which we have 3 years in use ).Updating the rating to 5 stars. Remarkable customer service.
