Frisco Drop Down Door Bench Cat Litter Box Cover

Very quick and easy to put together. Looks nice and you wouldn't know it was a litter box if viewing from the front. My two cats, ages 12 and 3, got used to it immediately. Chewy's algorithm recommended the "Petmate Litter Pan, Gray, Jumbo" which I purchased to go with it, however I would NOT buy that again. The length and width are fine, but the end is too high and partially blocks the opening, forcing the cats to squeeze through over it. I did some research and then bought the "Frisco High Sided Cat Litter Box, Medium, Navy, 18-in" and it's much better. It's a bit smaller than the inside of the litter box cover, which is great because there's just enough extra room to store the scoop and bags in there. Plus, the end of that litter box dips down the exact right amount to leave the hole in the cover unobstructed. Lastly, I also wanted a washable litter mat to go inside, as it kind of grossed me out to think about putting the scoop directly onto the box. I couldn't find one that was the right size, so I got the "SmartCat Ultimate Cat Litter Mat, Tan" because unlike those hard rubber mats, it folds so I can make it the exact size I want. Now that I have everything set up, I am extremely happy with this purchase. Now I have a pretty piece of furniture instead of an ugly litter pan sitting out. It's very easy to drop down the size to access the pan, and the cats love the cushioned top. Highly recommend!

Love this bench - my cats took to it immediately and it's nice to have the litter box look like furniture and be hidden away. I had to put a battery powered light in it - apparently my senior kitties are afraid of the dark - and it is quite dark inside. The other issue is that it is not water proof - when pee gets out of the litter box it soaks into the wood causing it to swell and SMELL! I have had this bench for about a year now and I have to replace it due to the pee smell and now the door will not close properly due to the swelling. I plan on buying the same one and using silicon adhesive in the corners to prevent pee from soaking into the wood. I also have to clean the litter out of the crack of the door regularly - and its not easy the way the door opens and closes, litter gets trapped underneath it. It is a bit more maintenance to keep it clean. I also had to attach Velcro to the bench seat to keep it from sliding off when pets jumped off it. Easy fix though. I recommend this bench if you don't have special needs kitties who pee all over the place. :/

I'm used to putting together furniture made of this material, and it's always disappointing when things splinter, even with a gentle touch. Gold piece broke while undoing a screw, and it made it difficult to remove said screw. Overall, pretty good for what it is. Looking forward to getting my cat used to it.
