"My cat is very big and strong. This cat post is very sturdy for cat scratching. Does not move when he scratches the post. It is also well made and looks good in any room."

"Avoid this product. This cat tree is the most rickety useless thing ever. My cats love cat trees and scratchers and we’re eager to use this one. However, between the general instability of this chintzy tree, and the fact that the platform shifts unexpectedly, they barely use it."
