It looks exactly like the pictures show. Adjusting the doors so they line up nicely was a little tricky, but don't let that discourage you. I got the large size and it fits my litter pan and my extra kitty litter. It looks so much nicer than what I had before (litter box under a small table). I was also worried since my cat is 14 she might have trouble climbing in the box but she can get in easily. She's a Manx Cat and smaller than a lot of other cats.
I think if people had trouble assembling its because you have to push things so they fit together. It took me 20 minutes to put together and some extra time fooling with the doors to get them perfect.
Over all I am happier than I hoped I would be with this purchase. :)

Pros: No tools required. Easy for older cat to access.
Cons: One of the screws for my door knob just would not hold onto the knob. Luckily I had a similar screw in the garage that works perfectly.
