I bought this for my senior kitty, thinking it'd be a great solution for his achy joints and not having to lean so far over to eat or drink. The wood is really beautiful, it fits together nicely, and appears to be high quality / long lasting. There are 2 things that aren't my favorite: it's a little lower to the ground than I'd thought (the "high" or "tall" version was not available when I purchased), and the bowls are pretty huge. I wish the bowl size had been specified in the listing - as these are most definitely designed with dogs in mind. Doesn't really affect our use of the product though, we're just placing a smaller washable bowl inside the metal bowls to make the size more manageable.
