Not as great as one would think it would be for real carpet. It is as pictured. The real carpet isn’t weaved very well so it falls out very easily with a cats scratch. It’s basically mad with card board and a small short bolt holding the bottom on. If you have a very fat cat that may break it. I didn’t have that problem, because our cats decided they didn’t like it and they don’t use it and stick to all the other ones we have in the house. But I’m just glad with the 6 we have the don’t scratch the furniture. Trained well.
