Perfect cat scratcher/ bed
Arrived in perfect condition, easy to put together (base and top), both my cats love it straight away, using all beds and scratching it from the get go

great sleepy post
I really like this post, I have various traditional large posts which my cats love to scratch, this one is in my living space as it's quite compact and has safe places for my cats to sleep (I have 6 cats), when I fostered kittens they loved this too as it offered nice dark places to sleep and different levels to climb as they got braver.

Poor design
Wood top arrived with some damage to the edge, leaving splinters, so that wasn’t the best start. It just highlighted that a cat jumping up, was going to damage the wood over time, which could potentially leave cat injured.
The cushion on top is held on by a few velcro strips only, not very secure at all. For both the damage and the poor design I requested to return the barrel for a refund, which was accepted. I have replaced with the Diogenes cat barrel which is a much better design.

Need replacement baskets
My cats still enjoy this barrel and the main body has stood the test of time however the basket on top has been a problem. It did not stand up to a stropping cat - it very quickly went to a hole. This could be a problem if your cat is likely to chew the filling. Unfortunately Zooplus don't supply replacement baskets and getting one this size is a problem - may be easier for the larger size barrels. It looks like I'm going to have to make a basket...if my sewing skills are up to it!
Sturdy scratch post
Our kitten absolutely loves it and it looks and seems a lot more expensive. It's great being able to wash the bed and inners. I'd definitely recommend.
Great quality
Both our cats love it. Great quality for the money.

Sturdy cat scratcher
I was looking for a duel purpose cat scratcher. Firstly I wanted a tall scratching post for my large cat and a bed for my other cat who likes to hide. Downside for me is that my cats think it's furniture so won't use it as a scratching post.
It does look very smart. It's sturdy and well made. Mine isn't like the photo as in the top bed is sewn on so can't be washed,shame,and the middle hole is not a bed it's just a hole. I would still recommend this but think the photos need updating.

Smart looking and very sturdy
Bought this product for my 15 week old ragdoll kitten as I wanted something that would still be appropriate as he grows. I was very impressed with this as it looks very smart and not out of place in a sitting room. The three tiers of openings are very roomy (at the moment he looks lost inside them), and he is now able to climb onto the top and loves to snooze on it. Excellent product which will be moved next to the patio doors for some summer bird watching in a few months.

I'm disappointed 😔!!!
I'm really disappointed with the XXL scratching barrel this time 🥺!
A few years ago, we bought this XXL scratching barrel twice already, and back then they were much heavier, sturdier, and also cheaper!!!
And today I see it's on offer for €107.90, but I paid €134.90—bad luck for me, I ordered it on Sunday, unfortunately too early!! And now it's also lighter and smaller than the old scratching barrel, which honestly makes me really sad!!!

Review
Nice-looking bin overall, but the Velcro doesn't hold and I think it's too small for a fully grown Maine Coon...

Fantastic barrel, but to get 5 stars there needs to be something to secure the top cushion better. When our kitten tried to climb up, it flew off as there was nothing to fasten it with.

Stl. XL crème
The cats took to it quickly
I've seen the cats lying both inside and on top of the scratching barrel. I keep it in the bedroom and there's always one of the cats on the barrel when I wake up. It's easy to move but still stands firmly. My 5.5 kg ragdoll looks comfortable in the XL size, we'll see if he outgrows it.

Beautiful retreat and play area
Both of mine love the barrel. The unfinished wooden board takes a bit of getting used to and I find the cushion is a bit loose, but otherwise the barrel is an absolute dream. My two cats love to retreat inside, chase each other up and down the barrel, or sit on top and look out the window. Highly recommended!

The lid doesn't stay on
Nice-looking scratching post design-wise, but the cushion doesn't stay in place at all. I had to nail it down to the wooden board underneath to stop my cat from falling off... so the price and quality don't really match up.

Great product
A hit with the cats I look after! They scratch their claws, sleep in the basket on top or in the little hideaways. Really good quality, easy to keep clean, and doesn’t take up much space.

Cats & humans are thrilled
We ordered the largest scratching barrel. Even our Maine Coons (8 kg) fit comfortably in the hideouts! It looks nice and high-quality. The barrel stands firmly. If the cat is happy, the human is happy too 😊
I really can't understand the negative reviews. If I find more space in the house, I'll order another one. Clear recommendation to buy!

Nice bin, but...
Years ago, I bought a bin—this exact one—and now I've noticed that the new XXL bin is both smaller and lighter. The height difference is a whole 3 cm, and it's 1 cm narrower. The new bin weighs 15.5 kg, while the old one was 17.8 kg. So, some savings have been made here; don't get me wrong, it's still a nice bin, but it seems to have shrunk a bit over the years ;-)

Great sturdy bin
Great and beautiful scratching barrel... the play balls aren't really necessary. If you include them, they should be attached better and more securely... we took them off because our cat tore one down... unfortunately, they were only fixed with staples, so I'm taking off one star for that. Otherwise, everything else is top notch.
