an honest wear test after two years of daily shredding. not sponsored, nobody sent me these

1
Frisco 42-in Heavy Duty Faux Fur Cat Tree & Condo
the sisal wrapped posts and double layer base held up two years of all three of them scratching at once
2
Frisco 72-in cat tree
the tall skinny one. wobbled within a year and none of them ever used the top perch, returned it
3
Tuft+Paw Milo
expensive and I almost skipped it but the joinery is genuinely tight, zero wobble after 8 months. worth it if you can swing the price
4
IKEA Kivik footstool, repurposed
bought it as furniture. it is now 100% a cat tree, they ignored the actual cat tree next to it for a week
5
SmartCat suction cup window perch
6
Catit Vesper cat tree
two of them love it, the oldest one took one look and walked away. she said no and that was final
7
plain cardboard scratcher pad on the floor
cheapest thing on this list and still the most used object in the apartment, replace it monthly
