Nice and large! Much larger than ones I've found at local pet stores. Love that the base is so wide, so all the cats are very happy to stretch out on it. Even my largest cat, who usually knocks scratching posts right over has been enjoying it! The material on the post is rope.
Only negative- there is definitely a seam in the center where the two post pieces join. The cats don't mind it, it's just a "looks" thing.
