Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Easy Assembly (1)

    A few customers mentioned that the layout to assemble the cat scratching post is easy to follow.

Cons

  • Instability (4) major

    The main design flaw is the post’s instability. It is very shaky, making cats scared or reluctant to use it.

    Tip: Not specified by users, but improvement suggestions can be taken from the poor bad reviews.

  • Small Beds (2) major

    The beds have a cramped size, suitable only for very small cats or kittens, which limits its usability for larger cats.

    Tip: A separate potential separate bed can be arranged for optimal customer utility.

  • Poor Quality (1) minor

    The product appears flimsy and not well-built. The design might have quality control issues.

    Tip: The posts design can be improved and replaced with a material that can secure both the cat bed and the toy, thus, better securing the overall alignment and the product’s existence.

No, the beds are too small for medium or larger cats, and the instability makes it unsuitable.

Highlighted Reviews

— PaDeB

"The two places for the cat to lay are small - very small. [...] The worst part is that the product is not stable. I put her on the taller bed and it wobbles - A LOT..."

Bottom Line

Cat owners seeking a stable and durable scratching post should look for alternatives. This oversight in design makes it a poor choice for cats, especially since the instability and flimsiness are noteworthy issues reported consistently.
