Last week when I was at Target I found a cat scratcher by Pet Essentials - it's 30" tall and has a 15 1/2" base. The round base and top of the post are a pretty pale wood, and the post covering is sisal fabric. It cost $30, the best price I've seen so far for a nice looking post.
We already have a good solid post that my husband built, but I wanted another one that looks nice enough to keep in the living room, so I've been on the lookout for a nice-looking but sturdy and tall post that isn't too expensive. This one seemed to fit the bill, so I bought it and took it home.
It was easy to assemble - from the store it comes in a box, and all I had to do was snap the bottom pieces together, screw the base on, screw the two post sections together, and snap in the top.
The cats all love it. They couldn't wait to sink their claws in.
At 30" it's tall enough for the smaller cats to stretch on it completely, and for the larger cats to stretch on it from an angle, and sturdy enough so they don't knock it over. We've had it for a week now & no one has tipped it over yet (though a large cat who is very young and active could tip it if it tried to). And it's nice looking enough to keep in the living room!
I can't find a photo or link of it online (it's not on the Target web site - I guess it's only available in the stores), but if I can get a good picture of it I'll try to post it later.
Just wanted to share this for those of you who are on the lookout for a tall post.
