Good points: This litter box does what it was designed to do - it looks like a piece of furniture instead of a cat toilet. It is attractive to look at, the cats seem to prefer it to the open box I previously had, and the inner liner keeps litter from getting everywhere. It's easy to clean, and changing the litter is a breeze because of the doors.

Bad points: This thing was a beast to put together. The directions were a joke. The overall quality, while pretty to look at, is flimsy. This fact did not help with the already difficult assembly. I expected more for the price. The doors sometimes pop open if a cat paws at them from the inside. A hidden latch would be a nice addition to this for that reason. Oh, and it doesn't come with the litter catching tray you see the kitty in the photo stepping onto, and they neglect to mention that in the description.

Overall: I'm giving in three stars because it is flimsy for the price, and because assembly might make you want to throw it at a wall unless you have the patience of a saint. Would I buy it again? Yes, because it does what I wanted it to do and it looks nice in the room. I just hope it stands up to the test of time.

Cannot rave about this product enough. It was a bit challenging to assemble but so is any furniture that comes in a flat package. I straight up went Pimp My Ride on it and added a door flap using some piece of plastic from the hardware store, and a fan to make sure air flows OUT of the carbon filters and in the door. That is my only complaint is what's the point of two carbon filters if there is a giant door opening...? Without my mods there would be zero air flow through the filters. I started with a dusty litter (Pretty Kitty {AWFUL TRACKING}) and you could the effectiveness of the fan from the dust buildup on only the one side. Switched to Tidying Cats Breeze system and LOVE it. I use the drawer to store the extra pads, toys, etc and toss a box of arm n hammer and a deodorizer in the extra space. I wouldn't recommend storing anything in the drawer if you use a dusty litter as it will get in the drawer. But the breeze system is nearly dust free.

Love love love!! Nicely made and great size! Just got it so not sure yet how cats will do with it but I LOVE how it looks!! Took about a week to get to me.

Looks like a really nice piece of furniture. So far it is keeping litter off the floor. I didn't order the pad for tracked litter but put a small area rug down on that side which works just fine.

The only thing other buys should be aware of.

1. It's not as sturdy as I was expecting. Held together by dowels mostly a some screws. I think if you tried to move it, it would completely come apart. I was worried about my cats possibly jumping on top of it, but so far so good.

2. Parts were labeled very well, but instructions were just diagrams that weren't always labeled well. Took some imagination to figure out some of the steps. Diagrams with some written instructions below it would have been better.

3. Drawer was a total nightmare. Drawer was simply too deep to even fit into the track screwed into their pre-drilled holes. I saw comments in other reviews warning the drawer was a flaw in the design. So when I had the same trouble as other reviewers, after working on just the drawer for more time than it took to assemble all the rest, I finally threw that out and used the screws as the door stops on the inside instead. Either the parts, pre-drilled holes or lack of instructions are the problem. The manufacturer needs to rethink that drawer since some people may buy it instead of another furniture option for the storage drawer.

I am very happy with the appearance.

Functionality is another matter that buyers should be aware of in advance in case it is more important than appearance to someone.

Oh, the horror of stinky cats! My two boys love to take massive dumps that smell up my office. I've tried several types of odor-repelling products ranging from litters to dome cat boxes to even essential oil diffusers (that last one works fairly well).

I wanted something that helps with odor control and allows me to have a functional, out of sight, litter box for my boys.

This wooden cat box center was fairly easy to put together but it's not high quality so don't get your hopes up. Some of the screws that came with this box were stripped upon arrival so we had to improvise. Also, one of the knobs doesn't have an opening so we couldnt attach it to the door. Don't know if other people have experienced this or not, but just prepare for Chinese-manufactured junk. I will also probably paint this box as the color is nice but it doesn't really match my decor.

There's a fairly adequate ventilation area in the back of the box and an opening on the side that my lab can still get his head into for treats. I curb this habit by placing the box about 7 inches from the wall in the corner of my office -- cats can still go in and out, but lab has to work really hard to crane his oafy head in there. I did not purchase the accompanying litter tray and wish I had, as the boys track their mess all over the floor. I'm hunting for a nice rubber pad to put down to catch the litter at a much lower price than the one that matches this piece.

My suggestions to buyers -- drill more holes on the sides of this box. While the ventilation area is adequate, litter has a lot of dust and I can't imagine it's safe and/or healthy for our cats to be breathing in the dust in this ultra-contained space. My cats spend about 20 minutes burying their treasure so that's a long time to breathe in all of the debris. Overall, happy with the purrrrrchase.
