Feedback re carpeting, thickness, durability. Bought 2 Armarkats - poor quality, thin covering on one; the other now tearing at seams. Thanks.

I have now had 5 of these Molly & Friends cat trees, and in my opinion they are very good quality. Only one had an issue & the company took care of it immediately. They are very sturdy, I have 4 foster cats right now, and one is 15 lbs. & the other big one is 14 lbs & this tree doesn't wobble or tip. They love the sisal scratching post & use it all the time. I have not had any tearing at the seams on this brand. I recommend this brand to all who are looking for a good quality cat tree. The ones they have in pet stores are cheaply made & can tip over. Hope this helps.

We have one that we bought about a year-and-a-half ago and our cat uses it all day, every day. The quality of the carpeting is okay (not great). We just recently replaced the carpeting on the small scratching post because it was getting pretty tattered. It's definitely sturdy. Our cat is very big and it never wobbles at all. It was worth the money.

My cat doesn't scratch on the carpet, so I'm not sure how it would hold up against a cat's claws. But it seems to be pretty decent; like cheap carpet you would find in an apartment. :) As others have said, the whole unit is so well made and sturdy, it would be worth re-carpeting it if the carpet wore out, in my opinion.

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.

I think they all split eventually. I purchased the ES Robbins Everlife because it appears thicker and sturdier than the others that I have purchased. My mat is installed on deep carpet. I don't know if a mat has been made that will bare a man's weight on plush carpet without flexing and wheel dipping under load. Hopefully this mat will justify the premium price by lasting much longer.

Yes - the structure is very good quality ! The carpeting is not and not padded very well- my cat says less comfortable! But he still likes it,

I bought a Spoonk mat about 2 yrs ago then another one 3 months ago. I can not tell any difference in the quality of the mats. They both are very high quality.

In my opinion, this mat will hold up as well or better than other mats that are of a softer molecular structure. However, I was controlling my cost and opted for the thickness that was cost effective for me. My selection was the right choice for me. We are a plus-sized family. Any mat of similar material, thickness or better would be the best choice for anyone with similar concerns.

It is great for storing, but I think it would rip easily with handling or sliding across anything but carpet. It should still keep it clean though.

I bought the PM-50 Plast-O-Mat for shelf liner in our new cabinets and it worked out very well for that purpose so I have not used it as a carpet runner but I doubt that it would be heavy enough for 7 to 8 months of regular traffic on a floor. It is my feeling that it was designed for temporary use for open houses and other special occasions.

I got these for an uncle who was in a retirement facility and has now passed away. Their floors were mostly carpet & linoleum. They didn't harm the linoleum, BUT if the user needs a lot of support and puts extra pressure on the handles, I can see where you might be concerned. They do better and last longer than the tennis ball scenarios, and for sure are a lot more stable than other options. THey are relative cheep, you might just have to try them and if they scratch stop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Don, I have one piece of information for you in regard to this chair mat and that is to Stay Away from it. It is a shoddy piece of plastic or some composite material, which cracked only days after I received it and put it down. Mine was laying on a carpet, which gave it some support. Actually I still have it, which I am not sure why but it is cracked in numerous spots. I have one of the lightest chairs, one could purchase, therefore, it had nothing to do with that issue...Get yourself another brand or make, but stay away from this one. I hope this helped you...I wish someone had told me before I purchased it. Good luck. Hi Don, I have one piece of information for you in regard to this chair mat and that is to Stay Away from it.

Just used this tent for the first time. (Outfitter model). I would say the floor was above average in durability. It wasn't rubberized or super thick or anything, but you can tell it was a tougher material and will last a long time. I loved the tent and would highly recommend the outfitter model. Easy setup too.

I put a outside rubber floor mat in the bottom and have never had a problem with the bottom the sides after 3 years are fine but the top if you allow things to run can at the joints become frayed sort of or are the first to wear out, but patching with thread and needle works fine like you would repair any tear ... My next wagon I am going to reinforce. The edges at the joints with cloth patches. Not a big issue though even after 3 years and I use it a couple of times a week! Lots of use ... For heavier loads I made a cardboard bottom ... And for the edges a cardboard bumper for sharpe items .

Yes, but this "newer version" does not last 1/5 of the time the original design did. I had the original carpeted one. Lasted 4 year and 3 cats.....I bought the new one and it was shredded in 3 months. They suck now. Structural design is still awesome. But the surface doesn't hold up.... Better to buy it- strip it. And add your own carpet.My apartment is also slanted. It stays.

no comparison - much better protect the carpeting well. Recommend vacuuming as needed and using protective coating TO EXTEND life.

I use it on industrial carpeting. I've had it for almost a year with no issues. I love it!

Yes, not quite sure of the durability, since we moved shortly after. We did our floors and counters. It looked great.

I personally wouldn't recommend this couch because it was kind of pricey ($500 to me is expensive for a temporary couch) and it was hard as a board. As far as durability, it was fantastic. We have a dog that sheds A LOT and the couch was easy to vacuum, and if we had to, we could take the cushion covers off and wash them, no problem. It also looks great aesthetically. However, the cushions were so hard that no one wanted to sit on it, so we ended up selling it on Craigslist and getting a nicer, comfier, softer couch. If $568ish is low cost for you and comfort isn't a super high priority, I would say go for it. It looked like new when we sold it 2 years after purchasing it. Hope that helps!

Follow up: I see a previous poster had cracking issues...I had that with a previous mat...not a crack on this in over a year and counting.
