They do a great job in the pictures to hide the fact that this is just 2 of the shorter versions of the same scratching post screwed together. But in reality, there’s an obvious separation between the 2 posts and they don’t screw onto each other evenly, causing the top one to lean a bit. The top wooden piece also doesn’t stay securely onto the post. It still functions as a scratching post, so doesn’t get 1 Star, but it just doesn’t look like what it’s supposed to.
