I have had it for quite some time. At first (for the first 2 months), my cat scratched the couch right next to the scratching post and I was desperate. Then, I put transparent protective stickers everywhere around the couch and he had nowhere to scratch! So, he was forced to start using it. After a while, I removed the protectors and he continued to scratch only the scratching post and not the couch. It seems to be very durable since the surface has not been altered at all. However, I consider it a bit expensive. The application seemed very simple and easy to me, even though I read that some people had difficulties..

If you are currently reading my review, BUY IT! I was saved! I saved my couch from my mischievous cat, who had turned the couch into confetti. I put it on and the furniture was saved! If your cat doesn't go for it, there are some tricks to entice them, like if you have a laser (if you don't, go get one now, it's an amazing game to release their energy), so as I was saying, aim the laser on it, so that it goes there whether it wants to or not, with its claw, or if you have toys with ropes and at the end a mouse or a bear or whatever, aim it on it, I'm telling you, IT'S A LIFESAVER! I've had it for 1 year, use it every day countless times and it still hasn't felt the product, it's very durable! And I have a 5-kilogram cat, not a small one. P.S. Be careful to get the correct side of the couch you want to cover, it has a right and left side

I bought it hoping to save the couch from the cat's claws. The installation is not easy, but the main problem is that the surface of the scratching post did not interest him at all, he did not scratch his nails even once. He changed the spot where he scratches the couch. It was tested on IKEA KIVIK

Apart from the puzzle of placement, it will protect your sofa or armchair from your beloved pet's claws
