"My cats use this scratcher all the time. They started scratching on my mattress, so I put this next to the bed and voila, no more scratching on the mattress. They are not super large cats, but I have seen them run and jump on it with no problems. I would definitely recomend it to a friend."

— Sheila

"Cats won't use it. Super wobbly; there is no way to tighten it. Needs a little re-engineering."

Bottom Line

Considering the mixed feedback, especially around durability, this product may not be the best choice for cats that are very active or heavy. It's recommended to consider alternatives or additional stabilization measures.
