Kitty Loo Cabinet Black Litter Enclosure

Purchased in January 2021 and have been using it for 3 months. Cats acclimated quickly and continued to use their newly enclosed box. Initially they preferentially used their other 2 unenclosed boxes but got used to this one in less than a week. It provides more space and comfort than a hooded enclosed box that many cats don't like, while still containing litter and hiding the litter box. There is also some containment of odor while the cats are using the box, so we don't immediately know by the smell that a cat has gone to the bathroom. I looked at more than a dozen different enclosures trying to find one that was under $200, large enough for my substantial cats and their appropriately sized box, but not too huge for my location. This one was the largest at this price point, and fits very well. I am not using the optional inner divider panel in order to fit the large size box. Our box is fairly deep, I think 7-8 inches, and without a lower front threshold entry, so they have to step up and into the box. The litter box is ~22.5" long by 17" wide. There is just enough room for the cats to step into the enclosure and then into the box. I do wish it was just a bit taller inside to give more head room. My 13 year old, 18 pound large cat is pretty tall, but he seems to manage without complaint. He was a 20+ pound cat in his younger days before he became diabetic, he's got a large frame. I recently picked up the whole assembled unit and carried it by myself upstairs to test sizing in another location. There was no concern about the hardware or sturdiness of the piece, it wasn't delicate to handle or start to shift. The assembly is average for assemble at home furniture, typical hardware & instructions. If you pay attention, identify all the pieces, and eyeball how they all fit together in advance it goes smoothly. I had no problems and had it together myself in about 35 minutes, as a seasoned furniture assembler. We use a wood pellet litter that creates sawdust. This contains the sawdust well, keeps it from scattering all over the area. It's reasonably easy to clean. It has a some potential to stain, and the laminate is not waterproof, it will warp/wrinkle with water damage. My boys aren't messy about peeing outside of their large box, and I'm still using the silicone mat I had to protect my wood floors from any leaks, so we are having no problems. It's easy to sweep out the litter dust with a small hand broom and dustpan. It wipes clean with a damp cloth of any dust that sticks. Access through the double doors is convenient, but I still have to take the box out to sift and clean. It's a sturdy, decent sized enclosure for the reasonable price. Height is a little cramped inside if you are using a high-sided box. Materials are average but suitable. I'm happy with the purchase. My ratings are relative to the cost. For the price, it deserves 5 stars, it's a good value compared to similar items that are $140 to $200+
