I have problems with it.

For one, all the edges are scratchy. You run the risk of roughing your hands every time you reach in to get stuff.

For another, I (and my boyfriend, who I had the urge to spritz with a bottle of water when I saw this out of reflex) have ADHD, which is rough for proprioception. In other words, we aren't so great at judging the relationship in space between ourselves and furniture, and bang into it a lot. In other words, when we inevitably punch this cinderblock trying to reach in to grab something, or bang a hand down on it just trying to reach for a phone, we're going to skin our hands and that's blood we don't need on random surfaces.

Finally, as someone else pointed out, when we inevitably bang our feet on it, now we're lookin' at a broken toe.

(For the record, I told the boyfriend I saw this and almost spritzed him with water, and he laughed.)

Is your boyfriend a cat

Well, I can see how it could be problematic for people with those issues. I do have issues but not those, so I didn’t see a problem.

It's something to keep in mind if you have clumsy friends or in case you might get a clumsy boyfriend or girlfriend. Or in case you drink sometimes.

No but I'm so used to the cat that the instinct is to spritz bad behavior with water.
