This scratcher looks good on the corner of my couch so I’ll give it 3 stars for that. Unfortunately, my cats won’t touch it. They just find a different part of the couch to use. Given the extremely high price of this and possibility that your cats won’t use it, I cannot recommend it.

This couch corner is heavy duty and made solid. Worth the price to save your couch. I really like this product.

These are excellent corner guards. Our cats haven't touched the couches since adding these. They hold up very well, we have some that are three years old and still going strong with daily use. Just bought 6 more for the rest of the furniture. Simple assembly and well made.

Our cat uses these, preferring them over everything else. Sigh of relief.We have a leather couch, because our 2 indoor cats aren't interested in scratching it.Then, last year, a third, outdoor/indoor cat adopted us. And, boy, does she love to use our leather couches as scratching posts.We were living with multiple cardboard scratching platforms surrounding our couch and faux fur pet blankets on the couch. Just trying to keep something, anything, between her claws and the couch. It was an eyesore and a tripping hazard.Then, I took a chance on the Sofa Scratcher. I invested in 2, strategically placed. She goes for them over the couch!They are really well built, easy to assemble, fit the corners of the couch well, and stay in place when she scratches them. Plus, they aren't tripping hazards and are aesthetically pleasing as cat scratchers go.I am so happy I purchased these. They are a little pricier than some other options, but the quality completely makes up for it. So much cheaper than a new couch, and our cat is happy to boot. Oh, and I love that I'm supporting a small, US business. Very happy with this purchase and definitely recommend them.

This product is absolutely great! I just had a small problem with the staples holding the fabric on to base. There are plenty of staples holding it together but some were not in all of the way. This may catch on your couch. You can hammered back into the base and be perfect but just be aware. Otherwise a great product.

I've gone through at least 20 different cat scratchers doing everything I can to avoid damage to my couch from my 7 fur babies, 2 of which are ginormous twin Maine Coon boys with paws the size of paddles. I searched for couch protectors, and didn't see anything that would meet the challenge of the little slicing and dicing knives on my feisty felines that had shredded my couch corner from the bottom to the top, down to the wood base. Then I ran across the Sofa Scratcher. I was super worried that it would not fit my couch, but purchased it anyway. Then spent the next few months kicking myself for not finding and purchasing it sooner. This is the kind of purchase I want to scream from the mountaintops, "THIS IS WORTH IT!" You can't see the plexiglass at the base and it slides underneath the foot of the couch. It holds there so sturdily that the first Sofa Scratcher I purchased was pulled off its base by unrelenting pulling paws and just wobbled back and forth. When I purchased a 2nd one for the other side of the couch, I explained the issue to the seller, and instead of explaining how I might be able to fix it, they just sent me another one free of charge. What outstanding customer service and pegged me a customer for life. Normally when the cats scratch on a scratching post, you'll get fabric or carpet type remnants all over or pieces of sisal rope shredded and looks nasty or comes unraveled off the tree, and within a year or so, it's so ugly you toss it. This Sofa Scratcher does not have any pull or claw marks at all. It looks as good now as it did coming out of the box 2 years ago. It's been battered by 3 kittens, the Twins, my other full grown felines, and a puppy. Absolutely nothing else on the market can rival the durability or the money value, and I've been a multi-cat household for all of my adult life.

UPDATE 7/25/2020: We now own four of these sofa scratchers. (I have four sofas and far too many cats) I’ve had zero functionality issues. My sofa(s) have never felt uneven due to the acrylic base. None of the acrylic bases has ever broken when I’ve placed my furniture on it and then sat on the furniture - all bases are still intact. I did need to buy a piece of plexiglass for the sofa scratcher that I got for my reclining sectional because the “foot” on the sectional sits farther back than on a traditional sofa. I used the base that came with the sofa scratcher as a guide and just cut out a longer base. And it works like a dream. As you can see in the second photo the sofa scratcher comes up higher on the sectional that my other sofa but, for us, this isn’t an issue. I’ll be ordering two more next month for the fourth sofa. These are ingenious and I’m sad that I didn’t think them in to being. If you’re on the fence, seriously, buy them.Despite having two scratching posts and a cat tree with scratching posts our cats had destroyed the corner of our sofa. The company that made our sofas offers custom slip covers but they are $600 and we just weren’t willing to pay that kind of money right now. Enter this baby here!I had read all of the reviews and was a little scared that it wouldn’t be sturdy but, it is. It doesn’t fit super tight to the sofa at the top but you can’t tell unless your looking for it - my son didn’t notice it at all until I showed it to him. I got the brown and it’s almost a perfect match color wise.My cats were a tad leery of it on the first day but after they figured it out and rubbed on it a few times they love it.The screw holes in my unit were perfectly placed and aligned with the plexiglass base exactly as they should. We’ve had no problems with claws getting stuck or any of that business. Honestly, I wish I’d found it a long time ago so that the corner of my sofa wasn’t a mess. Lesson learned. If you are having problems with your fur babies scratching your furniture, give this a try.
