I really like this liter box!  It hides everything, including smells. The shelf’s were a bonus. All the pieces were labeled and the instructions were simple. I was able to put this together by myself in less than a hour. The unit is not heavy and easy to move. The material seems thick enough to hold up through accidental spills. The door opens easy to allow you to pull out the actual litter box for cleaning. I purchased a taller liter box after I was using this unit for a few days to keep the liter from being tracked out of the box. It came with a wide cardboard mat to help track liter, but my cats got it wet the first day so I had to toss it. The higher side box is keeping the liter in. The unit does not include an actual liter box, but it’s a very big cubby that will accommodate most liter boxes.
