I bought this scratch column almost a year ago for my two cats. The cat tree has been well received, the beeping balls betatzelt and recorded, but only one of the two cats. The pole-sitting, a new sports cat. The height is especially nice for larger animals because they can get really long on the column. The design was simple and straightforward. At the beginning I would have given the column probably even 5 stars. Unfortunately, saw the sisal scratch sides already after half a year of pretty bad. The sisal fibers were torn by scratching in large pieces and distributed in the apartment. The Sisalgeflecht was by the train down the talons whet quickly just curled on the wood column, because there is in my opinion, far too few fastening points and also the quality of the sisal leaves to be desired. Meanwhile gapes at the top of the column a huge hole in Sisal. From the carpet side carpet flakes were torn out very quickly, so that the column all round no longer looked particularly beautiful. Now I realize that it is in the nature of a scratch furniture to be worn. But just so I expect in such furniture a more robust quality and workmanship. A cat furniture in this price range should the scratch attacks withstand more than half a year.
