We have had many scratch posts/trees over the years for our numerous cats, most of them not big enough or destroyed within a month. We decided to spend that bit extra on the kilimandjaro, and we are certainly glad we did. Our 3 indoor cats couldn't wait to get on and explore. We have had the kilimandjaro for 3 days now and there isn't a minute when 1 of them is not on it. Its very well made, robust, the scratch posts are so thick, look like they will last years, so glad we made this purchase and will certainly be recommending to family and friends with felines. Big thumbs up from us. 👍🏻👍🏻
