Far too narrow
Far too narrow for large house cats

Very cute but too narrow
It's definitely an eye-catcher, no doubt about it! But unfortunately, it's a bit too narrow for the cat to scratch on. Still, for the price, it's absolutely fine.

For the price, it's okay.
As some have already mentioned, the finish of the board isn’t very good – you could hurt yourself, and the cat could too, due to sharp edges and splinters.
Very simple mounting with two tiny screws; larger ones would be better, especially if the kitty decides to hang on it. At the moment, the board isn’t very appealing, and it’s also quite narrow.
As a secondary scratching option, it’s okay for the price, but there’s room for improvement. It’s a shame, as the design and concept are a good idea.

Too small!
The board is okay in terms of quality, but the sisal surface is really small. So it looks nice, but it doesn’t really serve its purpose!

Affordable and popular
My cats absolutely love it and use it enthusiastically, especially Maine Coon Mika.
Soon, the third scratching board of this type will be joining us, as after half a year, it has done its job.

I would buy it again and again!
Super product. I bought two straight away and was thrilled – so were my three cats. My two domestic cats and one Sacred Birman absolutely love the scratching boards and use them daily. Simply brilliant! I attached the scratching boards with Uhu Patafix, and they hold perfectly.

shows some flaws
The scratching board has an appealing design. My indoor cat took to it very well, but my outdoor tomcat didn’t. WARNING!!! The edges of the plywood panels need to be sanded down, otherwise you (or the cat) could end up with splinters! The scratching board is very narrow. Since my cat also climbs up it, the wallpaper to the left and right of the board is suffering.

Cats love it!
Hello,
I bought two of these boards, and the cats started scratching the board as soon as I unpacked it. Every time our cats pass by a board, they immediately start scratching it.
The wood is quite thin, but for the low price, it's perfectly fine.

Scented scratching board?
The scratching board came as a free bonus with the dry food; otherwise, I would have sent it back. The wood is so poorly cut that you get splinters just from touching it, and some edges are dangerously sharp and need heavy sanding with sandpaper – assuming the disgusting patchouli stench ever goes away, which is why it's currently "airing out" in the basement...

Our cats love it
Hello,
our cats are absolutely crazy about the scratching boards. =)
As soon as they walk past them, they immediately start scratching.
The only downside is that with my big tomcat, the board wobbles a lot. :D

Simply just inadequate.
I’m very disappointed with this scratching board – absolutely poor quality. The base is made of two roughly cut pieces of plywood that were already almost falling apart as I unpacked it. The sisal is just stapled on, and unfortunately, I also found two larger drops of glue on the sisal, which I was luckily able to remove. The only positive point is that it looks cute, and my cat is using it – well, let’s see how long it lasts.

Hmm...
Let's be honest, what can the scratching board do if your cats don’t go near it... that’s more down to the cat than the scratching board, so such a criticism doesn’t really count! It’s like with food – one cat eats it with passion, and the other turns its nose up at it, so honestly, not a fair comparison! OK, the quality isn’t thaaaat great, but I think it’s fine for the price...

Never again
Hello,
I got the scratching boards at the promotional price, and I have to say the price-performance ratio is not right. The scratching board is made of two very thin plywood panels that are stapled together. The wood was simply punched out, which means the edges have splinters and broken-off pieces. Even if this item cost €1, it would still be too expensive. If Zooplus cares about cats and doesn’t want to upset its customers, they should remove this product from their range.

Great scratching board
The scratching bed looks fantastic on the wall, and my two furry friends started using it straight away as soon as I mounted it. I also don’t have the issue of them scratching to the sides of the board anymore. In the meantime, I’ve placed three of them around the flat, and they’re used with joy every day alongside the scratching post. A little tip: you should hang them a bit higher so the cats can (and have to) properly stretch when sharpening their claws. Best regards!

Tip: Lay it on the floor
We keep buying this scratching board again and again. Our two British Shorthair cats wouldn’t use the board for scratching as long as it was mounted on the wall. I suspect they were scared of it. Ever since the scratching board has been lying on the floor (I was about to throw it away), they’ve been scratching it enthusiastically.

Scratching board, cat shape
My cat ignored it until I tucked some treats between the sisal and the wood. Since then, she regularly checks the board and sharpens her claws on it.

Small but lovely
My two Norwegian Forest cats have this scratching board at my parents' place, so they’ve got something good to scratch when we visit. Works perfectly, and the furniture stays intact.

Unfortunately, it's being ignored.
This scratching board looks quite nice in terms of design. Unfortunately, our cat pays no attention to it. I can't recommend it.

..........
The scratching area is far too small, so the wallpaper to the right and left of the board is completely ruined! Nice to look at... otherwise rather useless.

DISAPPOINTED
I am really very disappointed with this scratching board. My cat doesn’t accept it at all; unfortunately, she pays absolutely no attention to it, and it just lies there unused. It’s also very unstable and poorly made... a complete waste of money on every level. I wish I had spent the money on something else instead...
