Great idea but does not work as well as disposable trays

Pros: >Great quality of wood, well designed and fits together great (also looks great with wood stain) >Easy to assembly >Permanent tray fits litter box well >Very sturdy once assembled Cons: >Quite a bit larger than litter box. Maybe it needs to be so tall but it is also several inches larger on each side and even larger on back side than litter box. Purchasing separate woven basket to place underneath bag/slot works well as others have suggested. You have to consider the increased size and if you have ample space when purchasing, might not be a problem for most. >Rarely scoops #2 into partitioned waste area/hole at end. Probably because the #2 stays in main area it seems to start stinking more quickly than disposable tray does, at least in my experience. If the rake and tray were to drop them into partitioned waste area and drop slot, then maybe this would work better for odor control of waste. Disposable tray was able to get them into its waste partitioned area quite well and dimensions for tray are very close to disposable tray so I am not sure why this does not work better. I have had this now for 4 months now. I really wanted this to work since it can save money for super expensive disposable cardboard trays from manufacturer. Permanent tray stains after a while, but I did not have a problem with odor (I clean well each time when replacing litter). I am not sure why this isn't working better, I will try a different permanent tray and see if results change any.
