The scratching board itself is 5 stars! It’s super dense cardboard so it lasts 10x longer than the one I used to get and doesn’t make as much of a mess. The espresso color around the edges makes it look a bit classier than than the cheap cardboard scratchers. 

However, I had to take a star off for the wall attachment to make it vertical. 1st, if you stick it to the back of the scratcher you can’t flip it over or flip it upside down without removing it from the wall or removing the adhesive to reverse it. The adhesive can’t be reused. My cat actually ripped it off the wall scratching on it and it took off the paint!

You are better off ordering either the one from the same company with a vertical or angled frame. As you can see from the pic I ordered the angled frame. This product actually fits the frame as a replacement scratcher but there’s another one a bit cheaper too use without the adhesive. I’m just reordering replacements after 4 months so the scratching pad itself is AMAZING.
