Such an ill-conceived and inferior implementation of a scratching corner leaves much to be desired. The "developers" of this product apparently don’t own cats themselves and have clearly never tested it. Using plush fabric on the back to perhaps protect the wall is something I can just about understand, but these fastening loops are an absolute joke. Absolutely not recommended – even at this price, it would be a waste of money.

It's fine for laying down. However, there are problems when you want to mount it on the wall. The nylon fabric where the rivets are attached was different lengths on my board. So, getting it straight is quite tricky ;) Once it's hanging on the wall, the nylon stretches so much that the rivet comes loose. Brilliant! I've now fixed the board to the wall using picture hanging loops on wall screw hooks. That way, it holds properly. Even if you'd drilled, the rivets would have failed. This really needs to be addressed urgently.

The scratch board is unbeatable for this price, but the loops should definitely be replaced by some drill holes so the boards can be fixed directly to the wall. To zooplus: leave the loops, make two drill holes and add an underlay with screws. This means the product will stay in its place against the wall.

The scratching board is unbeatable for the price, but instead of the attached eyelets, you should make drill holes and screw the board directly to the wall. To zooplus: Skip the eyelets, make two drill holes, and include screws with washers. That way, the product will reliably stay on the wall.

The mat itself is great, but the fastening loops are so poor in quality that we couldn’t even get the mat on the wall without them tearing. As soon as a cat hangs on it, it’s game over. Now we have to come up with our own fastening system. Unfortunately, I’m not happy at all. I used to always order a different mat, but it’s no longer available. :(

Unfortunately, there were a few issues during assembly, as the eyelets intended as holders in the loops fell out of the wall immediately after screwing them in. I’ve now attached the board directly to the wall using longer screws through the board itself. It’s now very stable on the wall and can easily hold the weight of my little climbing cat without any problems. However, I removed the "heart pompom" because I’ve hung the scratching board in a corner of the bedroom, and the jingling at night was a bit annoying ;) The heart is now being used as a lovely toy cushion instead.

I have nothing to complain about: it holds up well, looks good, and the price and performance are in harmony. All in all, a great product.

We ordered two of these scratching boards and finally installed them on Sunday. Using just the fastening straps, the board was still quite loose, so we added two extra screws on each side – we know our little troublemakers ;) Now it’s absolutely secure and is being very well received. Unfortunately, the plush heart on both boards was torn off by the next day, which is a shame, and as a result, the play factor isn’t quite as big as it was before. All in all, it’s not a bad scratching board, but you should definitely take the time to add a few extra screws; otherwise, you won’t enjoy it for long.

We bought the scratching board so that our room corners wouldn't suffer as much anymore. The board is really nice and is gladly accepted by our tigers. The point deduction is due to the stability. Unfortunately, the mounting hooks don't hold and tear out quickly when the cats try to climb up the board. So, we added an extra screw to each board, and now it holds perfectly. Unfortunately, there was also a small gap between the wall and the board. This was eagerly used to further damage the wall. Thanks to the screw, this issue is now resolved as well.

With the purchase of the scratching board, we were finally able to save the side of the chest of drawers from its grim fate as the scratching post for our cheeky rascal. He goes wild on it like a maniac, and the board handles it without any issues and holds up brilliantly!

Originally, the scratching board was meant to go on the wall, but since my cats like to sit on it, it's staying on the floor for now. For the price, it's decently made, and 10% of the price is donated – brilliant! There's a brown plush heart attached in the right corner, which you can't see in the product image. My cats love scratching and playing with it. I would definitely recommend it!
