We just moved from an apartment to a house and we have carpet and very small bathrooms and no where to put a litter box.  I put this in the guest bedroom and you can't tell it's a litter box.  I have two cats and neither of them have a problem using it.  The only con is that when they miss the litter box the wood is super absorbent and expands.  I can't remove the divider at all now.  Clean up would be easier if the top lifted.
