I like the design and the quality now I'm waiting for my cat to discover what she likes about it.  This 3 sided scratcher replaces a 3 foot round woven basket that I touted around from home to home over the last 25 years.  It became Julie's favorite go to scratching object so the switch will take a few days.  She has walked through it and was in front watching it to see what it does but so far no actual scratching.  She will catch on pretty soon and all will be happy.
