Refined Litter Box II

This question came up with a friend of mine recently: She has two cats living in a small apartment here in San Francisco, and likes to entertain guests. I asked if she would rather have a litter box cabinet, like the Refined Litter Box, that could hide away kitties' litter, but still pull double duty as a counter top, or if she would rather have an attractive and modern litter box since it would be sitting out anyway like the Litter/Bed Combo. Why hide it if you know it's there!?

It took longer than I thought it would for her to weigh out the pros and cons, and her answer kind of surprised me, given that she has so many people visiting her home. So which would you rather have – a hideaway litter box, or an attractive, visible one instead?

Reminiscent of the Pucci Armoire for dogs, it should be called a Litter Cabinet, since it's definitely more than just a box. First, the Refined Litter Box II is compatible with your LitterMaid Elite, Mega, ScoopFree, and Petmate Purrforma automatic litter boxes, has a top storage drawer for all of kitty's accessories, and reversible walls, meaning you can position wherever you have space, and kitty can enter on either side. And, of course, choose one of three wood finishes to match your end tables, too. At $250, is this too much for a litter box?
