I am very pleased with the scratching post, at this price a bargain! The delivery went very fast, all the pieces were in place and the construction went smoothly. A bad smell (adhesive) I could not find the free processing is also fine. I have four adult cats, take the cat tree good, the caves and swimming areas are large enough, even my 8 kg cat has it place and scratching post is stable. An additional attachment was not necessary, the attachment to the ceiling was sufficient. I can only recommend this scratching post.
