Finally a scratching post tall enough for a normal-sized cat to stretch and sharpen claws!  My three little furniture-shredders received this when we purchased our new living room set.  The little bobbles are enticing for them.  At first they thought it was too good to be true and would bolt from it if I saw them scratching, but they have caught on.  Wish I had bought it much, much earlier. I suspect it will need to be replaced in a year or two, but will happily do it to save my living room.  Very sturdy, they cannot knock it over.  Took about 5 minutes to assemble.
