AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The scratching post has a cozy design that cats seem to enjoy, with washable cushions and ample space. However, assembly issues and structural instability are common complaints, especially for larger cats. Some posts lack sisal for scratching, and the product's durability is questioned. Despite these drawbacks, many cats quickly take to the post and enjoy playing on it, making it a popular choice for smaller cats and kittens.
Cats quickly take to the scratching post.
Washable cushions provide convenience.
Structural instability, especially for larger cats.

Some quality/construction issues
The hanging bed does not have the screw holes in the right place so couldn't assemble it! Even with everything tightly screwed in it's a bit flimsy and the instructions could learn something from IKEA furniture (and yes, that's saying something). Overall if it wasn't for the hanging bed and poor quality it looks comfortable for my 2 cats.

Not the original!
I ordered this to replace the one I already have, it looks identical in the picture but it’s half the size! 4 of the posts are not even sisal for scratching! I’m so annoyed as I’ve already dismantled the old one that still had life in it ready for the new one and now I want to return it!

Not good quality
The round sleeping bed brake on the next day , and holes made not correct.

A year on...
Considering the price, you'd expect this to withstand for a long time. It's not an eye sore like many stands are but standing up to use, it's actual purpose: not so good. We've lost a post, that eventually snapped in half to reveal a hollow inside and reinforced cardboard, among other structural issues, poorly manufacted for a unfair price. Avoid.

Great cat tree
I bought this scratching post as a second tree, and Phibi and Peiper took to it straight away. The covers are nice and cosy, and they can climb and play around on the posts perfectly. The price-performance ratio is great too. Brilliant!

Quite good
The cats took to the scratching post straight away. It's great that the cushions can be washed. Now, after almost 3 years, I need to replace the first pole.

Shame
What a waste of money. The scratching post is really unstable.
Definitely not made for my tomcat (6kg).

More suitable for smaller cats
The scratching post is nice, but not suitable for cats over 4kg. It's easy to assemble with two people, a bit tricky on your own. Unfortunately, it's too unstable for my British Shorthair.

Cat tree
The description says it's suitable for large breeds too. I'll see how long it lasts. Otherwise, very nice, I've replaced something else.

Cat tree
The assembly worked perfectly, except for one thread that wasn’t glued in straight, which caused it to push out at the top again.
I managed to fix this with a clamp, and now the screw holds properly again.
Because honestly, the tree is great.
Top-notch.

Good tree with a couple of minor design flaws
Overall this is a good tree. Fairly wide base and side sections make it stable free standing, which is important when you have very active cats.
The middle section would be even more stable if the platforms and sections were held with two posts rather than one. This makes them a bit wobbly at the top. Overall not too bad but could be improved.
The biggest gripe is the four bottom posts, they are not made of sisal rope, just a plush cover. Poor cat came to scratch it and was confused!

My 4 cat absolutely love it. The instructions were abit confusing but I figured it out. Its bigger than I expected but that's a good thing plenty of room for all 4. Definitely recommend very happy with it

Poor quality
I have two cats , they been playing not a lot and they tore off the balls on the first day.After two weeks, the fabric is also torn.

More suitable for small cats.
The assembly is simple and went quickly. You can also build some sections differently than shown in the picture. The beds are relatively small and more suitable for kittens or small cats.
Mine still squeeze themselves in everywhere.
The stability is okay, but it does wobble quite a bit during wild play.
I’m giving it a good rating because my cats still really like the scratching post.

Nice but not 5 star
My cats love it , especially top bed, but very pure quality of plush, after few months it was scratched by claws and ripped around legs, it is quite durable and stable, suitable even for 3 cats at once, and all will be ok but how to replace this torn material and the beds are all at the hooks.

Top cat tree, but...
The scratching post is great, but the assembly instructions are ridiculously complicated.

Great piece
An absolutely fantastic piece. When the first scratching post showed significant signs of wear after several years, we bought this one again. Instead of throwing the old one away, we simply combined it with the new one and built a giant scratching post. The quality of the post is excellent. Assembly is straightforward and fairly quick. Our madam loves it.
The only "negative" is that everything is delivered in one box, and it’s very heavy (I think it was over 25 kg).

instant hit!
i was a bit nervous getting this as my cat has never had a cat tree before but when she started climbing up her scratching post i figured i should take the leap - i’m glad i did! she’s instantly taken to this cat tree and it is so cute and sturdy! i have no doubt it’ll serve her well for a long time to come! it’s a really reasonable price too considering how big it is and it was really easy to assemble. highly recommend

Very great
The scratching post is absolutely brilliant, and our cats love it. We took a bit longer to assemble it in one spot, but that’s not a problem because what matters is the end result, and for this price, it’s perfect. I can only recommend it!
