I have been looking for awhile for a nice looking enclosure for the litter pan. In a small home it is hard to find an appropriate location for the kitty's bathroom. This piece looks like furniture and it is a useful bench. No one would know that the cat box is inside. It was easy to put together. The only change I made was to remove the inner partition, because my large cat could not get thru with the litter pan side butted up against it. Other than that minor alteration, I am very happy with the piece and the kitty is also.
