Frisco 33.5-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post

Depending on your cat's preferences, this may work out great. It's tall and relatively sturdy. Unfortunately, my cat ignores the post and ONLY scratches on the base at the bottom. The fur (or whatever material it is) probably wasn't intended to be the main focus of the scratching, and started to come off after only a few months. Since then, bits of it get scattered around the floor and even occasionally get stuck on her claws. Not exactly ideal. So, if your cat digs the post, it'll probably work out great for you. If your cat is like mine and decides to be a scratching rebel, maybe not so much.

I loved this when we first got it, but very quickly the poor craftsmanship surfaced. The base is not solid and attached to the scratching post itself. It is a piece of particle board stapled in place by the material that covers it. Every time one of the cat scratches it flops all over the place. The scratching material itself has come loose from where it is tucked in on the post itself and it is just a wreck. It felt sturdy and it looked sturdy so this was a major disappointment. Keep looking if you’re looking for something that lasts.

This post is awesome! I have a full grown cat, and a kitten and they love to scratch on this post and play on and around it! I think the sisal mat is more durable than rope, and it doesn’t shed after vigorous use!! It will probably last me 4-5 years before I replace it. If you have a scratching cat, you know that’s a long time. Believe me. Best purchase I made for my cats and furniture

Was eying this post for a few weeks before buying for my first ever order from chewy. I found several look alike posts at various pet store and department stores, all were priced well above the Chewy.com price. I finally but the bullet and ordered. It showed up the next day! The cats love it as much as I thought they would with the height being much higher than most scratchers. They were really enjoying stretching up and clawing my couch, and they are still kittens so height of scratcher was a concern. This works perfectly. They also love climbing up and down with it being so tall. Will buy again when this one has had too much love.

My kittens really like this scratching post, they make a run for it and climb to the top. They also like the sisal material for scratching on, they use this post more than the one I got that has sisal rope. The top and bottom are carpet. Its very heavy and so it hasn’t ever turned over with them. The only problem Is they compete who’s gonna be king of the mountain, it’s a high mountain to them. They like sitting on top. But only room for at a time, so they have to take turns.

Easy to put together, only took about 10 minutes. Before I even got it together one of my cats wanted to climb it haha. Both my 2 month old and my 5 year old immediately took to it and started scratching away. Great quality, very sturdy, and WAY bigger than I thought. My 2 month old just wants to climb climb climb.

This was purchased as a gift for my elderly neighbor who has 2 cats and they were not using her short scratch post. I have purchased this for my cats in the past and they love it. The sisal wears out over time and I wish there was a way to replace it instead of the whole post but it’s worth the money. It’s sturdy and they love to stretch and scratch. My neighbor said her cats started using it immediately and they love it. Great item!

Well designed and made, heavy and stable even when a 15 pound cat claws upper part of post or sits on top. Woven sisal much more durable than the usual rope sisal which is easily broken rendering the post useless. Looks good enough for the living room, like a pedestal to display sculpture. Excellent product.

Recently adopted Alexander, a large10 year old tabby proved to be an upright stretcher preferring to splinter door jams. Shipment was quick and he was excited while I opened the box. He loved the box; however he loves the post that came in it more. It comes with an allen wrench and assembles easily. The heavy, sturdy, well balanced tower and sisal really stand up to his shredding tactics. He loves the perch where he can survey his domain. The price is so reasonable for the superb quality. Definitely cat approved.

My cats love this scratching post so much! I got it a couple weeks ago and they’ve used it pretty much non stop. Other scratching posts I’ve had would have been torn to shreds by now, but I guess the way the material is woven on this one makes it more durable. They also seem to enjoy how they can get a full stretch. And bonus, my youngest cat likes to jump up on the top and use it like a pedestal!
