Perfect! Lower height is great for older cats or ones with arthritis. My cat had a tail injury that got worse jumping out of the litter box. I've been looking for 5 yrs. Litter boxes didn't used to be shiny which makes them slippery! my cat is more important than so called easier scooping. And the litter has not  ended up on the floor so far. Love it and so does my cat. she doesn't have to jump out now.
