I have a small place. I needed a new place to feed my dog and cat outside the kitchen and laundry. This piece of furniture solved all my problems. It looks nice enough at the edge of my dining area that it doesn't take away from the overall look of the room. In fact, it looks much nicer than dog bowls on the floor, and it's much less a tripping hazard. I love the ease of keeping the kibble in the container. I was doubtful that it would be sturdy enough, but it works well and seems secure. My picture shows a 14lb bag. I'm hopeful to use the top for my cat, but it might be a little small, crowded with her water fountain and two bowls.This was actually pleasant to assemble. That is something I never say, and I've assembled a lot of furniture. Some of the pieces are already partially put together. Everything is labeled clearly. The instructions are super clear and go step by step, so even I didn't mess anything up. The pieces are high quality, thick boards, and everything fit perfectly, holes lined up, hardware worked. Once assembled, everything was sturdy and seems much more stable than similar items. I highly recommend this pet furniture. My dog seemed to take to it immediately, and she enjoyed sniffing at the concealed kibble. My cat is still afraid of it, but she did eat some of the dog's food, so we'll see if it's also cat approved.
