You can never have too many scratching posts. Seriously. :)
And in one case, we didn't make a post. Vivian is a "horizontal scratcher", not a vertical one. she kept pulling the carpet in front of the door, and if we put a scratchign post over the area, she'd reach UNDER the post to scratch it anyway.
So, we took a square of old carpet, cut it to fit the doorway, and covered the carpet area she was scratching. Now she scratches the piece on the floor instead of the "real" carpet underneath. :)
