This scratching post is very heavy and sturdy. I have an 18 lb. male and he can't tip it over. This is the first scratching post I've had that he can really use.

A few years ago I bought 3 extra-tall (3 feet) scratch posts for our cats around the house -- they absolutely loved the overly tall scratch posts compared to the crappy ones (and ultra-expensive ones) you see at PetSmart.

One of the biggest complaints I have with scratch posts is that they don't seem to be made by cat owners... they are either rickety and cheap and *short* (so no cat will really ever enjoy them) or they are really stable and tall and have tiny bases, or even rectangular bases so any cat walking up to it and scratching on it will pull it over on it's side -- it's unbelievable how poorly made some cat toys are.

Anyway, after a lot of research and looking at possibly spending $130 for a "Mondo" scratch post for the cats, we found this one and put in an order.

I will say that the shipping took forever... I think it actually took 2 weeks to get to us (in Arizona) and I was getting pretty hot under the collar about that, but after opening the box and feeling just how heavy this thing is, hand made, high quality and sturdy it was -- all was forgiven.

I'm actually writing this as I place an order for another one.

It's been a huge hit with our cats, it's a hair shorter than the really tall ones we had, but it makes up for it in spades with just how sturdy and well built it is.

There's really no decision to be made here, just get it... it's awesome. Don't waste your time with those plastic ones from PetSmart.

I have a 10 lb. kitty who just loves to run and jump onto this post and hang there. Or she likes to climb up it and get on top. It does not budge!! If you want a post that is SUPER sturdy, this is the post for you! And the sisal rope is a big draw for the scratching.

Very well made product! Solid construction and not at all wobbly, even when used by a, um, full-figured kitty.

For the first few weeks I was afraid I'd have to give it to friends since our old and rather set in her ways cat wasn't showing any interest in it. However, in the past few days she's come around and now uses it more than the cardboard scratchers she'd been used to.

My cat likes it, so that means I like it. It's STURDY! It will never tip over - my cat is upwards of 15 pounds now, and loves to climb it like a tree and balance on the top - it holds him no problem. I love that the bottom of this post is carpeted, and so does the cat, who loves to lie and on his side and "kill" his scratching posts with his back feet, which isn't possible on other kinds. If I could change anything, I might put rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around, but since it's placed against a wall, that doesn't seem to be much of a problem. It did take a bit longer than normal purchases from Amazon, but well within the slated time, and I chalk part of that up to the size and bulk of the box. It's a great investment!

Nice and heavy cat scratcher. None of my cats will use the top of it, but two of them use the bottom. I still have hope that they will use the whole Scrather, but I am please with my purschase. Thanks

My cats love this post. It is very sturdy and will not tip over.

I didn't know what this was, so when I got it I was surprised that it wasn't what I assumed it was, but my cat wasn't surprised. He really likes it!

I was told ahead of time that it would take 5 days to process the order. I received an email that the product was shipped and it arrived way ahead of the scheduled time.

The tall cat scratching pole is very well made and will last a long time. It was the only tall cat scratcher I found in my search. My cat took to it immediately.

This device does not nudge at all as my cat plays with it. Did not even need to encourage her to use it. My cat now 'shows off' to me when I walk into the room by scratching this post. It's so cute when she is trying to show me her 'moves'.
