I bought this for my cat right before my new sofa and chair came in, so that he wouldn't scratch my furniture. Wasn't very hard to get him to like it, just spread a bit of cat nip and he knows that its his to scratch. Works great, tall enough for my cat to really stretch, and doesn't look too bad in the living room. Placing it right next to the new furniture has kept him from scratching the new furniture, so I'm pleased.

Also very happy to find out that I got it for a whole lot cheaper from Wayfair versus the one I found at a local store.

Pros: Great value, durable, good scratching material
