Love this!CynthiaI added this cube to a grouping in one of my workrooms. One of my cats uses it a lot! I always know where to look if I can’t find her!
Came brokenCindyOne of the corners of the boards is crushed. Be wary of shipping issues like this.
SturdyCathyWell constructed and easy to assemble.
Cute but my cats don't use it as much as meAnqiIt's pretty sturdy and I use it as a stool sometimes, but my cats don't like going inside it, maybe it was a little too small for them. It was a little expensive for the price so I probably wouldn't buy another one.
Cat loves this cubby!StephanieMy cat discovered this "cave" and now she is in it all the time.
High Expectations FernandoI loved it from the moment I saw it online. I ran to IKEA the next day to buy it. I put it together as soon as I got home and added to my KALLAX unit.
Before I share my experience I want to give my opinion. I think it's a great idea, it looks great as one of the niches. But...
Since my KALLAX sits on the base legs, it makes the cat house entrance just high enough to be too uncomfortable for both my lazy apartment cats. They've been inside only a couple of times, but I noticed that entering is the issue, because the hole is almost too small. So the combination of having to go through a tight hole and the need for a small jump at the same time, makes it a unappealing for them. I wish the hole was bigger, even if it meant being round instead of cat shaped.
Maybe if I put it on the floor they would enjoy it more.
RecommendedValerieMy cats love these. Well made. Cute design.
Cat box LinzyI bought this for our cat Milo I love the aesthetic event. He doesn’t really go in it too much but I do love it. It’s a nice box easy to build. I will be keeping it for as long as it’s standing.
Fun Can House!SusanI loved adding this to my Kallax unit to have a special place for my cat! It looks great and she loves having her own space.
Love it! ShaeI purchased two of these for my cats litter boxes and they work perfectly! They’re very cute, and also out of the way. Very convenient when it comes to cleaning, you just slide it out of the shelf!
Cats love it! DeborahMy cats love it! It is easy to assemble and is sturdy. Recommend it!
The Cat Head ShapeAnonymous reviewerThe Cat Head Shape on the front of the box needs to definitely be larger. My cat knows it’s his, But it’s a struggle for him to go in because it’s on the smaller side. IKEA needs to make the shape larger for all cats to go inside. And also have a pillow or blanket. This review would of been a 5 ⭐️.
So cute, easy assembly, but one concern.KathrynBought two so far, but one concern. If a sizable cat enters and there is no back to shelves, it can move backwards and cause the cat to be wary of entering again. With two next to each other, can one of your clever connectors be put through the upper part of the houses and the divider between them to secure them? Or a bracket that wouldn't stand out on the back? Love using this instead of another cat tree that will eventually wobble and break. Perfect size for two cats to sit and look out the window. And much better price.
Kind of a pain to put togetherAlyssaI've been waiting for this to be back in stock to replace the other style fabric cat house I used to have in my Kallax shelving unit that my cat has always loved. I like this one better b/c it's easier to clean and keep clean from pet hair. That said, wow I was surprised by what a pain an item this simple is to put together! You need both a Phillips head and flat screwdriver (I did not have a flat head on hand so this sat for a bit until I got one). One other gripe is that the cutout entry is a bit small and likely won't work for larger sized cats. I wish they made these with a larger, regular circle cutout entry, but other than that it's pretty amazing and a step up from the fabric style.
KALLAX cat insertDwanThis is the cutest insert on the planet, my cats love it! Super easy to assemble.
Cat LOVESBaileymy 13 yr old put together and our cat crawled in right away. If your cat loves boxes then they will love this
Cute and sturdyRachelI bought a whole series of the KALLAX products (the kallax 'insert with 2 drawers', the kallax 'shelving unit', and this kallax 'cat box') for my room. FIY, DON'T BUY the kallax 'insert with 2 drawers' because the quality is A LOT worse than this cat box; the kallax 'shelving unit' is much sturdier but pretty difficult to install because some small pieces don't fit the main board. So in conclusion this cat box is the only kallax item I bought this time that works well + is sturdy + easy to install.

Material
What is fibreboard?
Fiberboard is a stable and durable material made of leftover wood from the wood industry. A durable outer layer of paint or laminate is added to the board. The difference between various types of fiberboards, such as HDF and MDF, is mainly the thickness, yet also how impact-resistant they are. This determines if we will use them for bed frames, sofa frames, kitchen fronts, wardrobe doors, or something completely different.
