"I was shocked I was able to find something like this, it was exactly what I needed for a gift. Good and very cute. "

"What a disappointment. This Banana scratching post from Fairela is completely useless as a scratching post! It's so lightweight, it cannot be used without immediately tipping onto the cat. "

Bottom Line

If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing item and affordability, consider for a gift. However, for practical use, look for a sturdier alternative.
