Good size, it’s not easy to find high enough carpet scratcher. My cat loves that but unfortunately it is not the same quality as I bought before! This is my third one thing- the same, the same brand but 1 the most important change is carpet quality, not thick and dense carpet like used to be 2 the base isn’t solid and heavy like before, so we decided to use the old one. That’s why you can see two different tones of beige on the picture.
