My cat immediately started scratching on the post, playing with the toy, and sleeps on the top. Still wary of gong into the bottom basket hole, but she is a very skiddish cat and I think she will eventually. I changed the pillows to some round red ones that match my living room decor too!!!  

Pros: Nice looking and great scratching post material
Cons: Would have liked it to come in a darker color like black or coffee instead of white to look more modern
