We have three cats, that all love this scratching post. Most posts tend to get wobbly after a few months because of the frequent use, and because our youngest has a penchant for climbing them to perch on top. This one is tall enough for her climbing activities, but very sturdy. We've had it for at least 6 months now, and no wobble! It doesn't hurt that it works well with our furniture and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb the way many cat trees and scratching posts do!
