The cork tumbler base is nice and weighty, the wooden post wrapped in jute rope is scratch and bite resistant, the natural feather on top is light and lively with a tiny silver bell attached. My cat chases and rolls around it nonstop. Made of safe, odor-free cork, it's finely crafted with no burrs, the feather is firmly attached and hard to pull off, it looks super stylish at home, and the value for money is unbeatable. It feels really well-made and durable right out of the box.
