I was super excited to un-box this box! It is made of a sturdy hard plastic that will be easy to wash off. It is not as clunky as some of the other covered boxes I have used and actually is Visually appealing to look at￼. Upon removing the box cover (which is smooth with out catches) you discover the inside is actually 2 areas! 1. The litter box. 2. Is a “grate” that kitty must walk on to exit the box. All those nasty stuck-ons fall into this grate! Further once you lift this grate, there is a removable tray that holds all that spent litter for easy removal! OMG I love this box. As does my cat, he would not stop helping me to set it up. Plus showed his appreciation 3 times! In a row. We give this box a definite to paws up!￼
