I actually use this for something odd - a cat litter box. I cut out a hole on the side, and put a litter box inside (a perfect fit). Now my cat box is hidden and the box is large enough for my large male cat. They sell nice boxes (that looks like furniture) for this purpose on other sites, however, the reviewers said they were too small, and when you open the lid it slides away from the wall (not the case with this box).
