No, it is not sturdy enough. Many reviews mention it falling over when cats scratch it.
"I rather see cat scratching the post rather than the furniture. She seems happy with it."
"After I set it up, I realized it was much too lightweight to sustain the weight of the cat’s pull, and sure enough, as soon as my pet tried it, it fell over. I’ve since had to lean a heavier piece of furniture on it. Now it looks awkward but works."
This scratcher might be a good budget option for someone who wants to provide their cat with a safe scratching area and as a distraction from furniture. But customers frustrated by issues related to unsuitability for cats' weight and lack of sturdy construction may find it more trouble than it's worth.
Good quality replacement, but size and material may not suit all cats.
