The box was a little difficult to assemble and the drawers somewhat useless other than to keep the doors from falling in towards the box so you do need to assemble it and put it where it goes. The doors look slightly uneven but not as bad as the pictures I've seen from other and also from the website (look close to where the door knob does not align). If those slight aesthetics bother you then don't purchase as the knobs comes fixed and you cannot move them. The inner container that holds the litter box is a joke though. It is held together by velcro that doesn't line up so every time you want to pull the box out to clean it you have to be careful not to un-assemble the inner box. I have to say the 3 starts is for the  fact that the piece looks nice enough to be in my living room and no one notices that it hides a cat litter box.
