Overview

This 32-inch post is built around an extra-large stable base, wrapped in natural sisal, and finished in grey to blend with the furniture and couches it is meant to protect. At 10.2 pounds, it is one of the heavier single-level posts in this lineup, which helps it stay put when a large cat leans in.

Priced at $38.99, it sits in the middle of the pack for cost, and the sisal wrap gives cats the rough texture they are drawn to for scratching.

It carries a 4.5-star average from more than 1,100 ratings, with around 100 units sold in a typical month, a smaller but steady following compared to some of the higher-volume posts in this category.

Performance notes

At 10.2 pounds, this is one of the heavier posts in the lineup, and that extra weight paired with an extra-large base is what keeps it from tipping when a large cat scratches with force. The tradeoff is that repositioning it around the house takes more effort than lighter alternatives.

What buyers say

A 4.5-star average across more than 1,100 ratings shows consistent satisfaction, though its roughly 100 units sold per month is on the lower end compared to the best-selling posts in this category.

Frequently asked questions

Is this post heavy enough to stay stable with a large cat?

At 10.2 pounds with an extra-large base, it is built specifically to resist tipping when big cats put their full weight into a scratch.

What material is it wrapped in?

Natural sisal, which gives cats a rough, rope-like texture that is generally more appealing for scratching than smooth carpet or fabric.

Will the grey color match my furniture?

The grey finish is intended to blend in near typical furniture and couches, which is part of why it is marketed as furniture-protecting.
