I ordered this item to go along with the litter box. I have an apartment and have to keep the box in a common area so the idea of the tent sounded like a good way to "hide" the cat box. Problem is, the vinyl tent does not fit the frame. Trying to zip the bottom and top half of the tent together was a 30 minute ordeal of pulling and stretching. Now that it's together, the zipper is starting to unravel. Good idea, poor execution. Haven't had much luck with their litter boxes either.

I've had LitterMaids since they first came out, and had the very first LitterMaid privacy (and litter containing) tent. That tent has finally bit the dust - the fabric had been washed so many times that it was getting holes in the fabric. So I bought a new one. What an enormous mistake. The new ones do not fit the frame in any way, shape or form. I tapped all the connections with a hammer so that they were all tight, and then tried to put the tent on the frame - there is a 1 inch gap between the top and the bottom and they can't be zippered together!!! So I tried to massage it on - moved more fabric to the front, got the zipper started - and the zipper separated. Okay, put the zipper back together and try again - the slider became deformed and would no longer fit onto the zipper pin. The metal slider itself started to come apart. What a horrible piece of unmitigated JUNK. Don't waste your money unless LitterMaid announces a major redesign of their litter tents. It's sad, the first one was flimsy but worked great and fit properly. Someone, somewhere, cut a few too many corners on this product. The hole kit and caboodle is now residing in the trash.
