Review: It's Sturdy for Big Cats, But the Dangly Toy is a Gimmick - I bought this scratching post for my two adult cats, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. I was a bit worried when I saw how thin the base was in pictures, but it's actually much sturdier than I expected. My cats are pretty big and active, and even when they're really going at it, the post doesn't tip over. It stays put, which is a huge relief. The height of the post is the best part. At 80cm, it's perfect for a full-grown cat to get a proper, full-body stretch. That's a really important thing for their health and for keeping them from scratching up my couch. The jute material on the post is also a big win. It's a natural fiber that they really seem to enjoy digging their claws into, and it's holding up well after a few months of use. It's much better than a carpeted scratching post which can feel too soft for a cat who really wants to sharpen their claws. The only real downside for me is the little dangling toy at the top. It's a fun idea, but my cats ripped it off in about 30 seconds. So if you're buying this, don't expect the toy to last long. It's a minor thing, though, since the main purpose is the scratching post itself, and it excels at that. Overall, if you're looking for a simple, tall, and sturdy scratching post that's a good value for the money, this is a fantastic choice, even for adult cats.
Review: Excellent scratching post - sturdy, well-made, and cat-approved - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've had this scratching post for a week now with my Russian Blue, and I'm impressed with the overall quality, especially considering the desertcart Basics price point. Assembly & Setup: Incredibly straightforward - took maybe 10 minutes. Everything needed was included, and while they provide instructions, the design is so intuitive you barely need them. No missing screws or confusing diagrams here. Build Quality: Much sturdier than I expected. The base has good weight to it and doesn't wobble or tip when my cat really goes at it. The sisal rope wrapping appears well-secured and shows no signs of loosening after a week of daily use. The materials feel appropriately soft where they need to be - comfortable for paws but durable enough for serious scratching. Maintenance: Too early to comment on long-term cleaning needs after just a week, but the materials appear straightforward to maintain. The sisal surface doesn't seem to trap debris, and any loose fur brushes off easily. Cat Approval: My Russian Blue took to it immediately - no coaxing needed. The height (80cm) is perfect for a full stretch, which seems to be exactly what she was looking for. The dangling toy was a nice bonus that keeps her engaged. Value: For an desertcart Basics product, this punches above its weight class. I've seen similar posts at pet stores for significantly more money that don't feel as solid. Overall: If you need a reliable, well-built scratching post without the premium price tag, this delivers. One week in and both cat and owner are happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the single pillar scratch post come in two parts to be assembled or is it one long solid post?**
A: The post is in 2 parts, you just screw them together to make one long post. Then you screw the post into the base. So easy.

**Q: Whether it is practical**
A: I am not sure what you mean by practical but my cat loves it.  I have got one in nearly every room and this stops her scratching the furniture.

**Q: What is the diameter of the pole please**
A: 3"" or 8cm

**Q: What is circumference of post.**
A: Diameter and circumference are not the same thing! 3” diameter would give around a 9” circumference, just a little over.
