I spent more on this because the description stated that it was wood - this is NOT wood it is particle board and is very flimsy.  One of the connectors was broken/ bent, but I was able to assemble around it (and added wood glue that I hope will hold!) I probably should have returned it, but once it was assembled, it was just easier to keep it.  There are many other litter boxes similar to this one on Wayfair that are way better quality for less expensive.  I have the Frieda litter box which is very sturdy and I highly recommend it - this one is not food at all.  Next time I will get one that is less expensive, but better quality of particle board!
