Conceptually, this was perfect, hidden litterbox, decorative piece. I bought it with enough room to have litterbox off to the side and mats for her paws to clean off before exiting. I noticed that she wasn't just peeing in the litterbox but using the whole box as a litterbox. The smell set me off first. This was ideal for me also, because I have a litter genie and it fit inside. My cat was used to having more room, so she rejected the idea of it being too small and short once she was inside the litterbox with the lid to this bigger box closed. It might work for some cats, but I wish I knew this before spending the money so just looking out for someone who might run into the same thing! Also assembly was straight forward, I swapped the instructions to have the opening on the opposite side. I'm glad I had a partner to hold certain pieces together while assembling as it made it easier.

The product was as just as the picture showed nd came as the seller stated. I purchased this item for a "Feral Cat" that we socialized as a younger kitten. When we had him checked by our local veterinarian we discovered that he is FIV positive and now has come to live his days in our Sunroom. This cat is on Lysine and Digestive Aids and his box odors can be stronger than our inside two "Siamese". I wanted to disguise the litter box in our Sunroom, hope to eliminate excessive tracking of his litter and help disguise the odder. My husband, has many other projects at the time and being too busy to build the litter box enclosure, led me to purchase the product. Being that he is very handy in wood working he put the cat liter box enclosure together with no concerns. It appeared that is would be a very basic project for anyone to do. It came with no damage, easy to follow instructions, was a good choice of color to match the furnishings in our Sunroom. One of the ratings showed that their item came damaged with the backside in a white material and damage along the edges. The one we received is all the same type and color all the way around, with the same MDF and veneer overlay that will be very easy to clean. Charlie (our Sunroom Cat) had no problem in adjusting to using this as it contained no strange odor as some furniture can have. He likes sitting on the top, and being a cat use to the outdoors for so many months, find any litter box a place to hide. If you keep the upper high sides on the box it will be a tighter fit, yet easy to turn slightly to pull out and clean. The litter box small open area was a place that I felt Charlie would be able to seek a haven when someone comes to visit as he is not a socialized cat. I purchased this with the suggested litter box and the mats. The litter box has the higher side attachment and good especially for the male cat that he is. He also covers all his matter deeply so with the higher sides it helps to keep the litter contained and not overflow unto the floor inside, plus (so far) keep the urine from dripping unto the product. The matts are thicker and better at trapping litter from the previous similar matts that I have purchased. So far I have seen much less litter on the floor outside of the box and have yet to decide if I will add a matt at the entrance. The whole idea is to disguise the box completely and it does just that. with less sweeping of the floor when I clean the box. The one question I had, which the manufacture answered, was the formaldehyde that holds the MDF material together and its rating. They stated is is a 0.068, which if I remember correctly it should be below 0.11. I like this box and look to purchase a similar ones - yet smaller- for our inside cats litter boxes that we have. To me I found it be a very attractive piece of furniture. I did not get the matt pad for the top which would have been a great addition to the whole kit. I am able to sew one and was looking for something to match the cabin - fishing décor of our sunroom. I may change my mind later as the cost of fabric, like everything else these days, has increased more that I had anticipated. Hope you find this information helpful.

This thing really filled a need. It's attractive, assembly was relatively easy for a 66 year old woman, much less litter tracking, and I don't have to see the cat box. Wish I'd had this years ago. The cats had no issue getting used to it.

This product is easy to assemble and looks just like the pic and what I expected. Note: the back, as noted in the instructions, will def take 1-3 ppl to put on. That is my only drawback but I was warned. The top is easy open which is great. I def recommend.

Decent enclosure, but not the quality I was expecting for $130. Very easy to assemble.

"¢Holes for the hinges don't line up, one didn't even have a hole for the third screw
"¢Almost impossible to put the magnets on straight as there is a slot to put the screw in instead of a hole
"¢chipped paint, very noticeable as it on the top of the enclosure
