Hi Everyone - I recently moved and doing that I got a miniskip and threw away everything crappy - and that included my two catstands. I have been looking in pet stores for some and the ones I have seen are very bad quality and there are so few to choose from. Does anyone know a place with a good variety of good quality catstands? I am willing to drive where-ever. I'm not after anything fancy - just sturdy and nice, with good quality materials You could try Kieron at Sammy's Cat Poles http://www.scratchin...sts.com.au/  He may be able to custom make you something in your choice of colour and take it to the end of year show at Hampton Park and you can collect it from him there. Thanks, I do to find one I can buy and take home. I need one now - Bailey is using my bed as a scratching post! The funky ones...so cute, so expensive, but so beautiful and just a little tempting! I'll check petbarn out. We bought Tink's cat post at Robbo's Pet Barn in Dandenong.. they had a good selection there at reasonable prices. That was three years ago now, the post is used constantly and is still like new, so that might be somewhere to try. I'd go with Satcmo's recommentation for Sammy's. They are great build quality at a good price and my cats love them. Contact them, you may be able to get something quickly. Alternatively, Mega Pet Warehouse on Maroondah Hwy Ringwood have some right up the back of the shop. They do have some great ones (well did last time I was in there) but they are pretty expensive. So depends how quickly you need something and how much you want to spend. The show at Hampton park is on Sunday week, so not far away. If you want good quality and a good price you are best contacting Sammy's....maybe give them a ring (check website for a phone number. Most stuff in the shops is rather overpriced and the quality is not always the best. Sammy's stuff is excellent. I have lots of it and it lasts well. I picked it up from her in Mulgrave which saved 30 dollars or so in postage. If you can pick it up, it really is great value. The quality seems fine and it didnt take me long to put together. They come flatpacked too! So you don't need a large special sized vehicle. The only downside was that she only does pick up 11am to 4pm Mon-Friday. But I sent a friend down to pick it up for me.
