I cannot express how much I love this! Assembly was quick and super easy. I do wish the scratch pad on the side was optional - I only have dogs. But I just made sure to put that side against the wall. The little rubber bands that are supposed to go around the bowls, if there is a trick to get them to stay in place, please share! Doesn't affect the use of the cabinet or the bowls at all, I just couldn't get them to stay in place.
