Updated August 2026 — several of the original picks on this list had gone out of stock, so this post has been refreshed with current, in-stock replacements.
If you’ve arrived here you’re looking for a way to cover up the typically not very good looking litter box that your cats use on a daily basis. Most litter boxes are designed to be functional at best and some of them don’t even do that very well.
Those that are functionally effective still tend to leave a lot lacking from an aesthetics standpoint which can be frustrating, especially if you have a home with limited space where you can’t hide the litter box off in a corner or in a closet.
Enter cat litter box furniture to the scene. Recently there have been several companies that have developed pieces of furniture that are geared toward giving you an aesthetically pleasing piece for your home that is dual designed to house a litter box for your cat.
They come in all shapes and sizes and a bunch of different colors and designs. It really depends on what you’re looking for and the type of decor you are trying to match in your household.
So let’s take a look at the best pieces of litter box furniture out there! Below are the 10 best pieces of litter box furniture.
Best for XL Litter Boxes
Amunrbrek Large/Tall Litter Box Enclosure
This one earns "Best for XL Litter Boxes" because it's built with real room to spare. The interior measures a genuinely large 28.5" x 18.5" x 27.6", designed to fit oversized litter boxes without cramping your cat.
It's styled as a modern side cabinet rather than an obvious box cover. That means it holds its own as real furniture in a living room or hallway. A height-adjustable, three-level shelf divider lets you configure the interior around your specific box. It comes out entirely if you're using a top-entry design.
Best in Size & Space
Merry Cats Washroom Litter Box Bench
Merry Products earns "Best in Size & Space" because this bench is built to fit just about anything you own. That includes small pans, large pans, even an XL automatic box. It's a multifunctional cover that conceals the litter box while adding real storage space on the side, not just a lid over a box.
A removable center partition frees up extra room for litter and supplies, or even a second box if you need one. The entry door can be installed on either end, so you can orient it to fit your room instead of the other way around.
Best Nightstand Style
Nova Microdermabrasion Litter Box Cabinet
This one earns "Best Nightstand Style" because it's built and styled to actually double as a nightstand or side table. It's not just a box with a lid. It's finished in classic white or black, with a wide top for a lamp, books, or a plant. That lets it blend into a bedroom, hallway, bathroom, or laundry room without looking out of place.
The engineered-board construction gets a powder-coated, scratch- and water-resistant finish. Reviewers consistently describe it as easy to assemble, with all hardware included. The interior fits a standard-size litter box, so it's a good fit if you're not working with an oversized pan.
Best Overall Option
The ecoFlex Litter Loo
The Litter Loo keeps its "Most Durable" title because it's built from ecoFlex, a moisture- and odor-resistant recycled wood-polymer composite. That's a step up from the particle board most of this furniture uses. If your cat tends to miss the box, accidents wipe away instead of soaking in.
It sets up with tool-free assembly that owners consistently describe as genuinely easy, and the discreet flip-down front door keeps it looking like a real end table rather than a litter box cover.
Best for Large Cats & Multi-Pet Homes
unipaws Litter Box Enclosure
This one earns "Best for Large Cats" because the interior is genuinely sized to fit a big litter box, not just a standard one. It offers 27.2" x 18.7" x 18" of usable space. The listing does note it won't fit a PetSafe ScoopFree box specifically. It's styled as a nightstand with a wide top for organizing remotes, magazines, or supplies, so it earns its keep as real furniture too.
Magnetic-touch doors swing wide open for easy cleaning access. The entrance side is interchangeable too, so you can orient it to whichever side makes sense for your room. It's a solid pick if your current litter box already runs on the larger side and you want furniture built around that.
Best Natural, Woven Look
Snughome Rattan Litter Box Enclosure
The Snughome earns "Best Natural, Woven Look" because of its handwoven rattan exterior. That's a warmer, more natural look than the MDF or particle-board cabinets that make up most of this list.
It comes with a cat litter mat included, so that's one less thing to shop for separately. It's still a full enclosure, hiding the litter pan from view while reading as an actual piece of furniture rather than a box with a lid.
Comes With a Built-In Scratcher
STARY Hidden Litter Box Enclosure
This one earns its label because it's the only enclosure on this list that bundles in a scratching pad. Cats get somewhere to dig besides the furniture next to the box.
It's a fully enclosed cabinet built with a scratch-resistant surface finish to help protect it from your cat's claws, and it doubles as a side table or stand for household items. It's also offered in black (ASIN B0C7VPBF11) if the white finish doesn't suit your space.
Most Luxurious
Refined Feline Litter Cabinet
The Refined Feline keeps its "Most Luxurious" title because it's built from oak veneer over solid wood and ply. That's a real step up from the MDF and particle board used on most of this list.
Rear ventilation slots double as mounts for universal carbon filters, so odor control is built into the design rather than bolted on after the fact. It also includes an internal corrugated plastic liner for faster cleanup and a sliding drawer for your scoop and supplies.
Easiest Human Use
Good Pet Stuff Hidden Litter Box
This one keeps its "Easiest Human Use" title because it's genuinely simple to live with. There's no assembly puzzle — just a planter-shaped box with a removable top.
It's made in the USA from reinforced plastic, and disguised as a decorative planter in faux palm or philodendron styles, so it actually reads as a houseplant rather than a hidden litter box. A built-in carbon filter manages odor while still letting the box breathe.
Best Dual Use
Internet's Best Decorative Litter Hider
This one earns "Best Dual Use" because the interior is roomy enough to fit both a litter box and a pet bed. That works if you want your cat's whole setup in one spot. It's styled as an espresso-stained nightstand or side table, so it works as real furniture even in a room with no bed nearby.
The wide tabletop doubles as a place for a lamp or books, and a hinged door keeps cleaning access straightforward.
Best Cat Tree + Litter Box Combo
Hey-brother Cat Tree Tower, Wooden Litter Box Enclosure and Condo
This one earns "Best Cat Tree + Litter Box Combo" because it's the only pick on this list built this way. It pairs a full climbing and scratching tower with a hidden litter cabinet at the base. The base cabinet is sized to hold a standard litter box (or, if you'd rather, a bed) for a private, enclosed nook.
Above it, the tower gives your cat a place to climb, scratch, and perch, so you're covering two furniture needs in one footprint. It comes in two heights — 48" and 61" — and in gray or walnut/brown finishes, so you can size and match it to your space.
Additional Information
Frequently Asked Cat Litter Box Furniture Q&A
Yes, for nearly everything on this list — the only piece here that works as a litter box on its own is the Good Pet Stuff planter (#9). Every other item is a piece of furniture that requires a separate litter box placed inside it, or one you already own that fits.
Before you buy, measure twice, maybe three times. If you're set on using a litter box you already have, check it against the interior dimensions listed for whichever piece you're considering.
You don't want to build a whole piece of furniture only to find out your litter box doesn't fit inside it. Check every dimension carefully before you click the buy button.
We'd also recommend an enclosed, high-sided litter box for the inside of any piece of furniture on this list. Most of it is built from wood composite, which absorbs and traps odor easily. That means if your cat sprays or misses the box occasionally, the furniture itself can start to smell fairly quickly.
Most of these pieces are built from some kind of wood composite, like fiberboard or particle board — worth keeping in mind if you've got a high-peeing cat. Urine that sits on particle board gets absorbed, and it will start to smell. It can also cause the laminate on top to bubble and peel, and you don't want urine leaking onto your floor either.
A few things help with this:
- Caulk the interior corners of any unit so urine can't leak out.
- Use a waterproof litter mat, or line the interior yourself with a plastic covering.
- Choose a high-sided or fully covered litter box for the inside of the furniture, to cut down on missed-pee accidents in the first place.
This one's about general odor control, not just the high-peeing situation above. Most litter box furniture, including nearly every pick on this list, skips a door flap entirely — that means air, and odor, moves freely in and out of the unit.
Several pieces also build in ventilation slots for airflow and light, which look nice and can help your cat feel more comfortable inside, but they also give odor an easy way out.
A few ways to manage this:
- Use an odor-controlling litter and scoop often — out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind.
- Use a covered litter box inside the furniture itself; most covered boxes have their own built-in flap that helps trap odor.
- Add your own flap to the interior doorway using pliable plastic or rubber, if the piece doesn't already have one.
Most cats adjust to litter box furniture without any trouble. That said, if your cat already dislikes an enclosed or covered litter box, furniture like the ones on this list will likely make that worse, not better. It's still an enclosed space from your cat's perspective, even if it looks nicer from yours.
One of our own cats developed a real litter box aversion over the years, and it turned out to be about the covered, enclosed style itself, not the location. Switching her to a fully open box, and moving it out of a tight, enclosed spot, is what actually solved it. If your cat is already avoiding a covered box, that's worth ruling out before you invest in furniture built around one.
To help your cat adjust smoothly if you do go this route:
- Don't move everything into the new furniture on day one.
- If you can, use a second litter box inside the new furniture at first, to minimize the amount that changes at once.
- Leave the door or paneling open for the first few days so your cat can explore before committing.
- Only remove the original box once your cat has clearly started using the litter box in its new home.
It's a recurring pattern across this whole category, not just one or two of these picks. The Merry Products Bench (#2), the Refined Feline Cabinet (#8), the Good Pet Stuff planter (#9), and the Internet's Best Litter Hider (#10) all get some version of the same mixed feedback. Most owners are happy with the build, but a smaller share reports paint chipping, a flimsy top piece, or a bottom panel that doesn't hold up as well as the rest of the unit.
It seems to come down to the fact that most of this furniture is assembled at home rather than shipped fully built, so how carefully it goes together during assembly makes a real difference in how sturdy it feels day to day. Take your time on assembly, use every screw and connector the instructions call for, and you'll generally avoid the worst of these complaints.
Wrapping it Up on The Top Litter Box Furniture
Most people don’t particularly love displaying their litter box for everyone to see. Given this there are a few options you can pursue including putting it in a closet or finding a piece of furniture to hide it inside.
I’m fortunate that I’ve got an empty closet that allows me to keep my litter box for my two resident cats, but outside that a piece of furniture fits nicely in my guest room where I keep my foster cats.
If you do decide to go down the road of purchasing a piece of litter box furniture I’d highly recommend you make any changes with the litter box gradually.
Be sure to leave your original litter box in place while you transition your cats to the new location inside of a piece of furniture. And always keep in mind that some cats might not terribly like adjusting to going inside of a completely enclosed environment.
If you’ve never had a fully closed in litter box you might want to try that before you purchase a piece of litter box furniture. Check out my top 10 litter box recommendations here.
