Prevue Pet Products Kitty Power Paws Tall Round Post

Tall enough for your cat to stretch yet doesn't tip over. Easy to put together.

This scratching post is just what we were looking for: The design is simple, with furniture quality wood at top and bottom making the scratching post fit into our decor. While one cat won't come near it, the other one loves it, so now each has its own. This saves two of our leather chairs without calling attention to itself. A big in in our house.

My husband and I bought this for our 9 month old big boy. We have other scratch pads/posts but wanted something that would stand up to our young destructor boy. It is very tall which is great as our boy likes to stretch up and scratch, it is tall enough for him to do this. It's very sturdy as well with a large wooden base, perfect to sustain running attacks from crazy kittens. Would most definitely buy this again.

Great post. It is nice and tall for cats who like to stretch and scratch. Nice base that doesn't tip over. Very easy to assemble and looks great.

I liked the height because two of my boys are long. It's neutral and fit in nicely with our home, but it didn't hold up for very long. The rope became unattached only a few months after using and keeping it reattached is annoying. Glue doesn't work well and I'm afraid their claws will get caught if I use staples. Tipping has never been an issue, surprisingly. So the pic I'm including is how the scratcher looks today, after a lil over 1.5 years of use and failed mendings with glue and new rope! Despite the way it looks, they still use it, so maybe it's all been worth it?

Well once you finish production of the product, nailing down staples that will definitely cause harm and tightening the chords it's OK, typical of the origin of manufacturing.

There were no instructions on how to assemble. I had an extra screw. Don't know where it belongd

Base is too light to hold it in place. Cat just knocks it over. Basically useless, definitely not worth the money.

The post is really cheaply made. The top piece came off as soon as attached, in a way that makes it impossible to reattach without something like Gorilla Glue (the metal piece that fits the screw came right out of the wood and won't go back in). Also the post itself comes in two parts and the division between the two is clearly visible (unlike on the product page, of course!) and looks ugly. It seems pretty flimsy, so I'm concerned it might just fall over if any large cats try to use it...but this hasn't been a problem, as none of the cats wants to try it!

As I was putting the small wooden piece on top, the wood came apart from the metal insert which screws on. I have not been able to reinsert it securely and now there is a screw coming out of the top of that I am afraid might injure the cats if they climb up the post. It would be a great height for my taller cat -- but not sure I will use it.
