The scratching post looks at the 1st view from super great. When my cat was a little girl, she could run around without having made something breaks. The attachment to the ceiling is so well when my now adult cat rushes up, then shaking the whole tree. The Sisal also keeps nothing from - I have to renew again and again because the inner workings of the column is visible and the cat then rumkratzt on cardboard. So in a nutshell - the tree endures nothing !! Too bad, the optics are just simply not everything ....
