Wish it was a couple inches taller

My cat doesn't touch the sisal/rope type scratchers and this is one of the very few I've found without it. But it's about the same height as all the rest, which I think is the reason she doesn't use it.

Poor construction

This scratching post was poorly designed. Very difficult to attach the post to base and then was wobbly. Chewy needs to find a sturdy, tall, carpet-covered post

This scratching post was poorly designed. Very difficult to attach the post to base and then was wobbly. Chewy needs to find a sturdy, tall, carpet-covered post that won’t fall over when cats try to use it.

So like the other reviews said the screw is too short but with some pressure, forgoing the washer, and a power drill/driver I was able to get it in. Definitely did not work with a handheld screwdriver. Now that its together its Leo's favorite!

Needs a longer screw in order to connect the base and post together. That’s the only issue. Cats were otherwise interested in using the post and a quick trip to the hardware store solved the issue.

Maybe too compact. Tigger likes to stand on his hind legs to claw and this item isn't quite tall enough. Also, it takes 2 people to do its very simple-appearing assembly because you have to push and screw the washer and screw while holding the cylinder. Third hand screws the screwdriver...

Would not recommend this. It is not weighted and everytime our cat tries to scratch she ends up either tipping it over or dragging across the room. Maybe good for kittens not full grown cats.

Impossible to assemble

Why they decided to include a screw that is too short to reach through the base and past the plastic on the post to where the grooves actually are is beyond me

Why they decided to include a screw that is too short to reach through the base and past the plastic on the post to where the grooves actually are is beyond me. This was a waste of my money.

Sasha Kitty wasn't quickly adapted to this post. She was used to a rug covered post, and as long as that was available, she didn't use the rope covered post. When I finally threw the rug post out, she began to use the rope pole. It is Much Louder, (The pole is hollow and it's PVC)so maybe that was a factor. It appears to be taking the abuse, fairly well. It's not looking ratty, though it is being used several times a day. And it's tall enough to be a good stretching post for a fully grown cat!

Can’t put it together

The screw it comes with is too short so I can’t attach the post to the base.
