It's our 3rd or 4th order from cat tree king, you can buy cheaper scratching posts but what you'll get is junk. These are not only are strong and durable, they look great!
My cats absolutely love their new cat tree, they already had one which they fight over . This one is so tall they love it.
We bought this when we had an old lady cat and were planning to adopt a couple kittens. We wanted something that would hold up well and be safe for multiple cats. Well it has been used and abused the last 3 yrs. A momma cat left us a litter of 3 week old kittens. So now we have 5 cats ranging in weight between 20 and 25 pounds. This tree has been a dream. The now massive kittens play on it constantly. It's a little worse for wear appearing, nothing a new upholstery wouldn't fix. But it has held up to constant use still in perfect condition almost 7 yrs. Well worth the money if you have large or multiple cats.
Unfortunately in the 3wks I've had it my cats will still not go on it. Nice product but a lot of money spent for something they are not using 😞
