I have 2 cats & the absolutely love this scratcher/lounger!  I purchased this when it was on sale at a great price. Much less expensive on Wayfair than anywhere else I could find it. My cats have been scratching away at it for 5 months now & it's holding up very well. My cats love to lounge on it to take maps & the loops on each end they just love playing in those. It was perfectly described & the reviews are what sold me on it. I'd definitely purchase it again & recommend it as well.
