This hutch looks wonderful, and should be, but there is no way to prevent pet urine from leaking out of it. We tried different types of absorbent bedding, but if the animal urinates near the edges the liquid finds it's smelly way to your flooring. So gross! Also, by the time you identify this terrible defect, the return window at Wayfair has already expired. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR RUIN YOUR CARPET!!!! UGH.
