Hello. Can you tell me if this sheds a lot of cardboard? Thanks!

It will shed a few really small pieces as the cats use it, but nowhere near the amount a regular cardboard scratcher shreds. The Infinity is much denser, heavier cardboard and lasts so much longer than any other brand I've tried. We've had this for months, with multiple cats using it, and it's still in really great condition. Plus, it's reversible.

There will be some shedding but no where close to other cardboard scratchers. This is heavy duty cardboard and I have even sat on it. My cats use it to sleep on.

No, it actually doesn't shed much cardboard. I purchased 3 of these, one for my cat, my daughter's and my son's. All three cats love them!

Yes, it does shed a lot of cardboard. However, I do not have room for a cat climbing tree and this is a great replacement. The cats absolutely love it and I consider it a small price to pay for a happy home. When this has been used up I will order another. I think it will last around a year and a half. 'Hope this information will help you.

Hi, I bought this pet furniture more than a year ago and it has never had any shed or mess. It is super durable and because of the shape my cats love to lay down on it and some times sharp their nails. When they scratch it, there isn't any shed or damages on it. It is very well made cardboard. One of my cat is huge and can fit on it perfectly. If u buy it u wouldn't be regretful. you can keep the box as cats love to go into it. I had to keep the box for months until they got tied if it. I hope my feedback help u to make a good decision

No, not as much as other scratchers. My cat loves it. He is a big cat and he can spread out on it.

I wouldnt say shed, more or less falls apart at the seams. I have several areas where the screen isnt connected to eachothers panels...

It's not as flimsy as cardboard, but it's not wood. It's some sort of particle board but seems pretty sturdy.

It's not too thick though you need to put weights on it to keep it opened up unless you cut it in smaller pieces. It is thicker than paper but not a s thick as cardboard.

I purchased this several years ago but If I recall correctly there was plenty of Styrofoam and thin foam sheets separating the individual pieces inside the box. It ships in its retail box which is made of heavy duty cardboard and I believe it was held shut by plastic straps and/or large metal staples. I will tell you the box looked really beat up upon arrival but it was also obvious it did what it should have done and kept my stand pieces undamaged and scratch free. UPS shipped this particular item to me. It is rather easy to inspect out of the box as there are only a few large pieces to assemble. Final advice.. don't get discouraged if the box looks bad when it shows up but yes it is packaged well I purchased this several years ago but If I recall correctly there was plenty of Styrofoam and thin foam sheets separating the individual pieces inside the box.

It is NOT cardboard. It's two separate panels of thin wood/board that fit together with a long thin piece of plastic which slips between them to hold them in place. The panels fit securely into a groove on the back part of bottom and shelf and slip into a groove in the underside of the top shelf. I also own the 37" storage shelf and it is joined together with 3 panels in the back.

We've had ours for a year. It has been loved heavily in that time period. They sleep on it (not at the same time), love to scratch on it, and it fits beautifully in our living room (not an eye sore). It can be turned over, so it really does last a long time. The cool effect of the cut cardboard is gone after a month or so of use, but the piece itself lasts at least a year. We're about ready to buy a new one and place the current one in a less conspicuous place.

It is a sturdy cardboard, doubled for strength. I have colored art paper for grandchildren stored on it and it's held up for almost a year. However, the grandchildren are not visiting too often during the school year as they live out of town.

Not really. It's kind of a cardboard back....but this looks nice and the holes were lined up nicely for assembly, for a change. If you use this in an area that will not get wet it should hold up well with gentle use. I had one before and it wasn't up to the over-use. Also, when it got wet, the inside paper curled up and it fell apart. Hope this helps.

NO it it very nice looking...I thought it may be made out of different material. But it is like thick paper or solid cardboard. But again it does look beautiful!

We have 8 cats who all use it and one is a 20lb boy. You can get replacements and it does get cardboard chunks everywhere....BUT think of the savings of not having to replace furniture. We use a little hand vac on it a couple times a week.

I know for a fact that it is thick cardboard. I actually cut mine an inch shorter and glued the fabric so they would fit on a shelf under my coffee table. They seem quite sturdy for cardboard, though. I have mine stuffed full of books, laptops, etc and the sides are holding up great. They should work just fine to stack and use as hat boxes like you wanted.

I would say it depends on how many cats are using it as well, we have 9 cats and probably 1/2 of them use it. You can keep flipping it over to keep wear even on both sides, i'd say in 6 months ours starts to look a bit worn but still has plenty of life left in it. I'd say if you keep it clean and brush the cardboard off it you can keep it looking nice for a year and it will probably last a year beyond that. Basically they can keep clawing down through the cardboard layer by layer and it's well over 1 1/2 inches of cardboard.

Yes. Just be aware that it doesn't have cardboard to keep its shape. If I could change one thing about the product that would be it. :)

No, lol. This is nothing like it seems. I never even gave it to my son for christmas. It is cardboard pretty much. I know it's only 12$ but it's junk. Not even worth the purchase to me. Babies who chew, would just warp the cardboard.

It is heavy duty cardboard. I gave this as a gift and they loved it. Best tea around!

Yes, its pretty flimsy cardboard for the size/weight of the cards, I kept the plastic wrap around the bottom half of the box to keep it together...
