L shape

This was easy to put together. I love that it has toys for my kitties to play with, along with two different scratching levels. It has a nice height, which is great for one of my cats (she’s the one that scratches walls). Got it at a great price.

My cat loves this scratching post and I can easily move it wherever it is needed based on his routine. I have a small apartment and multiple scratching posts aren’t ideal, but if he’s enjoying a nap with me I know I can bring it into the bedroom and he’ll stay close by if he gets up before me. Training him to use the right scratching tools is easier if they are accessible when/where he needs them. The wall mounted ones save space, but they are fixed and his tower is too bulky to travel. This keeps up with him and is easy to plop in front of him if he starts in on something I’d rather him not scratch in. The little balls stay put, unlike some of his other toys where I’m pulling couches and appliances out to recapture escaped victims. It’s inexpensive enough that if I ever have to replace it, I won’t mind. But it’s durable enough that I’m not inclined to have to replace it anytime soon. It’s a simple and unobtrusive look that easily abuts a wall or counter so doesn’t interfere with the flow of the space, the color is neutral enough that it won’t conflict with a design scheme, and it is thin enough that it can likely find space in varied positions alongside, behind, or between furniture. It performs its duties perfectly, without complaint, and seems to enjoy the cat’s affections. So we’re going to keep this one and may find it a partner one day.

My cat loved it. Only lasted a couple months.

Great for Cats to use, the design is very simple but will intrigue your cats. The height is perfect! Just tall enough my cat can bend up to scratch. Functions well as a scratching pad. Thickness of product is very good, was impressed for the price.

It was very simple to put together, and seems to be sturdy enough to lean up against a wall. my cat was on it before I even had it completed. He loves it!

This SMARTBEAN cardboard cat scratcher does exactly what it’s meant to do—give cats a place to scratch that isn’t your furniture. Both of my cats took to it immediately, which is always the ultimate test. The vertical L-shape design is great for stretching and scratching, and it’s sturdy enough to handle daily use without tipping over. That said, it does get messy. Cardboard bits end up on the floor pretty quickly, so expect regular cleanup if your cat is an enthusiastic scratcher. For me, that’s a fair trade-off since it keeps my furniture safe and keeps the cats happy. If you don’t mind a little mess in exchange for a cat-approved scratcher that actually works, this one does the job.

My 3 cats love these. We bought 2 of these cat scratchers - one for each floor - and after 3 months of use they are still in good shape and functional. The cats scratch their claws on them, sit on them and even roll around to scratch their backs. They play with the balls sometimes and managed to get them out of their track, but its easy to put them back in place. I expect these to wear out over the next 6-9 months but will definitely purchase again. So far cleanup has been minimal so not a big deal.

It was a pain to put together but was worth it. Basically it's all layers of cardboard, comes with the two toy balls. Comes with a screwdriver to screw in the plastic screws into the cardboard. It's pretty straightforward, build quality is sturdy and holds everything in place. The design looks really good. My cat loves playing with the toys and she able to scratch her claws on the cardboard. It works as attended, well done and worth the price. I highly recommend this for your cats.
