The product is versatile, insofar, it allots sleeping quarters for a small to medium size pet & an additional under shelf that clears the height of canned foods (pet food); or could be used as a bedside table, w/your pet's sleeping quarters nearby, w/misc. reading materials neatly stored on the under shelf. However, should you own a terrier of any sort the veneer will not stand up to the clawing or stashing of your pets treasures. Looked pretty for two days, now the entrance of the cubby hole is scarred & cannot be sanded & restained.
