94 cm of super-thick sisal in one piece – unique. 4 out of 4 cats give it 100% – really rare. The two younger ones (1 year old) climb on top several times a day. My third purchase. What annoys me: the plush base is a magnet for mites and dirt and takes up too much of my time to clean. The cordless vacuum doesn’t work for this. I need the classic vacuum + attachments + mite vacuum. It’s my only “scratching post” with plush – I have six in total. There should be a seating platform at the top. The toy can go (= 4 out of 4 cats).

My 4 cats have been working on this XXL scratching post for about 4 weeks now, and I have to say, it’s really great... The only downside is that the plush fabric on the base plate is very thin, so it’s already been scratched through in some places... Maybe the manufacturer should consider using sisal covering instead... It would be better, as there are many cats that like to scratch horizontal surfaces, and it would make the model appear even more high-quality... All in all, my cats and I are very satisfied.

My picky cat accepted the scratching post straight away! I find the outdated plush incredibly annoying. Friends have the Cat's Flower with a scratching surface at the base. That combo would be perfect! Then I'd give it 7 stars.

As an addition to the scratching post, I bought this pole for my two Orientals. Assembly was incredibly simple. The pole is nice and thick, and the sisal ropes are sturdy. Since the tree has been used daily for climbing exercises for a good month now, the plush at the top has unfortunately come loose a bit, and one of the little toys has been torn off. Overall, though, it's good value for the price and worth recommending.

The scratching post has just arrived. First, it was freed from its packaging, and while the post was still lying on the floor, the cat had already started "abusing" it :-). Then came the assembly. Home alone, I thought for a moment, wedged the post upright between the armchair and the table, put the platform on top, and screwed it tight. Easy...! Since British Shorthairs aren't exactly the most athletic cats, you have to get creative to keep them entertained. This post is perfect for that.

Sturdy, stable, and doesn’t slide... My two British Shorthairs accepted it straight away and occasionally scratch it now and then... Unfortunately, even after weeks, there’s still this nasty smell that spreads throughout the entire bedroom... If you decide to go for this scratching post, you should definitely let it air out properly outside first! Otherwise, a solid post for a reasonable price!

Lovely and sturdy scratching post. But unfortunately, it still smells a bit. This didn’t happen with the previous one from Shiny Plush. Tiger is still using the post enthusiastically though. For the first two weeks, it stayed out on the balcony because of the smell.
