This is a fantastic idea! It was easy to put together, although I did have to work harder to get the doors to align properly. I didn't install the drawer to give my cat more head room inside, and I used her large plastic litter box inside instead of the contraption that was provided. I also added an automatic spray air refresher inside the unit that sprays a scent every 9 minutes. Between that and the use of high quality litter, this furniture is sitting in plain site of my living area with little smell, and I added a nice vine on top to turn it into an attractive addition to my décor. Yay!
