Meow Town Concord Cat Litter Cabinet, Mahogany-Finished Cat Litter Concealer

I just found a lovely kitty, and as all kitties do, they'll need a place to do their business. Initially I put the litter box in the living room in a cage so my lab won't mess around with the litter box (I never realized dogs are so into kitty litter box). Works for a while until I got tired of cleaning the litter debris and the eyesore of a litter box in my well appointed living room. After comparing several options, I decided on this model because it's the one that mostly will blend well with the other furniture. After waiting impatiently for the item to arrive, finally one day I found a large flat box in front of my place after work and eagerly disassembled the box and all the parts arrived complete. Wooohoooo!!!. Now come the hard part. Assembling all the parts according to the instruction which surprisingly simple to follow. Took me about 30 minutes to completely assemble the parts,some elbow grease, (a power tool will come handy, since there's some nut screwing needed, actually the box assembling is almost IKEA easy), and voila! This thing is actually pleasing to the eye. This box to my surprise can contain my humongous Mega Litter box with side litter splash protector for Petco (other best thing ever invented for over zealous digger of a cat) with out a problem. The drawer on top can store all the cat's accoutrements (brush, toys, litter scoop). Cat love it! The only snafu I have after, is the litter debris still overflow from the opening off the litter box, and this is resolved by putting a mat between the box's opening and the litter box so it will catch the debris/litter trail. The side opening of the box is only on the right side and not adjustable to go the left. (The other box that I'm considering has that option of switching the opening side, but the box only opens on the top and does not have the drawer, which is a drawback). That's a minor problem, my cat doesn't care. My other Hyacinth Bucket's moment is, the box comes only in reddish mahogany color, my furniture mostly are dark walnut. I guess this is going to be my next DIY project to stain the box dark walnut, to match with my living room scheme. But at this point, my cat's happy, I'm happy, and it's a surprisingly well made and sturdy box! And you will have another extra flat surface to put whatever knickknacks or a Royal Doulton figurine.

I got this so I could move the cat box out from under the sink of my tiny bathroom and into another room, and I wanted something that would look like a piece of furniture. I'm glad I didn't read the comments before I purchased this, because it doesn't seem like we are talking about the same cabinet. It's exactly as pictured, and is much more sturdy than I ever expected.The inside is lacquered and waterproof, which is why I think this may be a new and improved version. The pieces are all heavy duty and well constructed, not anywhere near particle board quality. All the parts were there, and each set of screws was even individually bagged and labeled to match the instructions, so I didn't have sort screws to figure out which were which. It was super easy and quick to assemble (although I did need my husband to hold up the doors while I screwed them to the hinges, which came pre-attached to the cabinet sides).I do understand people's comments about the drawer taking up too much room. My guy doesn't mind a tight space, but other cats may want more head room. I also don't like that the hole on the side is so large and obvious, there is no cover or kitty door on it, and you can't make it a left sided entry if that's what you need. If I re-designed it, I would make the drawer accessible from outside, and I also think the cabinet should be at least a foot taller; it's definitely a low rider.I have put together tons of cheap laminated furniture, and this isn't even in the same category. I think it looks awesome, the discount I got was great, my little guy loves it, and most importantly - I no longer step on kitty litter in my bare feet on the bathroom floor in the morning. Win, win, win!!

the cabinet is made from poor material, this is not real wood (if I would see it in the store I would not buy it for 156 $ is really overpriced and not strong and stable furniture) The instruction are poor and misleading if you don't have a little of imagination and experience with putting furniture together, it might gave you a headache. I put mine together in 40 min it was not hard but the instruction made me more confusing. (first you have to put the 4 screws to the top and then lacked to the rest of furniture, the curve on one side of the bottom piece need to be position as a back of the furniture) I hate when there are written instruction how to put it together and the pictures are missing valuable details. I did not put the drawer in because my cat is big and would have to squat all the time. One side of the cabinet was poorly fixed (somebody drill the whole all the way thrue one side and tried to fix it.) The only reason I would keep that piece is that I need something now to keep my baby away from the cat litter box, otherwise I would return it in no time.
