Review of Vertical Cat Scratching Stand

We have a real problem with our sweet kitty scratching up the furniture. He has other scratching poles integrated with his cat tower, but apparently the couch is a much more exciting scratching experience. So I bought this Scratching Stand in the hope it would have more appeal for him. It was easy to assemble and he loves to play with his toys around it. But sadly, this kitty loves only destroying my furniture.
