We were looking for a smaller scratcher/tower to replace one that we'd had for 6 years. Everything we'd found was either cheaply made or had such a high price tag that it immediately turned us off. We finally settled on this elevated cat bed and post after it met our pricing criteria and had pretty positive reviews. 
The cats (all 5) love it so far. Hopefully, it continues to hold up because our kitties are loving their new toy/throne. 

Pros: Not too pricey. Arrived two days after the order was placed. 
Cons: Different prices for different colors was a bit of a letdown.
