I have to say I'm very disappointed with the quality of this product. I have another similar scratching post from a different supplier and was expecting similar quality. I couldn't have been more wrong. The material covering the mdf boards is so thin that it already had a hole at the corner when I took it out of the box. The rope on the scratching posts is very thin also and sparsely covers the posts so that the (cardboard?) is visible underneath. It seems like it was put together using the cheapest materials they could find. Don't recommend at all.
