Great design, EASY DIY :)
I went to Target and bought a sterilite tote for $5 and made this myself. In fact, I like mine better because it's taller than the clevercat. Top entry is definitely the way to go as far as litterboxes. I noticed far less litter on the floor now and the box is less smelly than the previous enclosed one we had.
The enclosed litterbox traps moisture, thus making the litter more stinky. The opening on a top entry lets the litter refuse essentially air out and keep it drier and stink way less.
I also find it easier to clean. My male cat does the elevator butt thing when he pees, so having the one piece design with high sides is great. Before his pee would get between the seems of the lower and upper piece of the previous enclosed type we had.
Overall, this is a great design, but you can easily replicate it yourself for much cheaper ($40 vs. $5)!
