Our cat is an ex-feral, indoor, cat who gets bored easily. This gives him an opportunity to "hunt" again when we put a little dry cat food in it. Its been good for his mental health and allows him to be a "cat".
The box is very solid and well constructed, but I did do some deburring on the inside of the holes so he wouldnt get splinters in his paws. It took less than 10 minutes with some sandpaper.

Only if you interact with the cat. Mine likes it if you drop some treats into it.

I have this product for about 8 months. I was looking for something my cat could play with on her own while I was at work.
As for the actual make of the box, it is sturdy. I dont think I will ever have to replace this toy.
At first my cat did not take to this. I loaded it up with most of her favorite toys. Out of curiosity she took a couple of them out, but then ignored it. Disappointed I put the box to the side and forgot about it.
A few weeks later one of my friends that was visiting put my cats favorite toy--milk rings--in the box (not sure why I didnt think to try this.) She went crazy. Even if she isnt in the mood to play, if you put a milk ring in the box she cant stand it. She has to get it out.
If you would have asked me after my first experience, I would have said that I was disappointed with this product. But since discovering that milk rings entice my cat to play with this, I am more than satisfied. This is an expensive toy, but my cat plays with it all the time. It is worth the cost. Now my only problem is that I never have enough milk rings to put in the box (my cat loses them after about a day); I tried the toys that are similar that are sold, but they dont seem to do the trick.
Based on my experiences, if you cat isnt interested in the box I wouldnt write it off right away. You need to find the right toy to put inside it.

This sturdy peek toy proves to be a great source of fun for a curious and active cat.

First, if you are handy with wood this is a very simple product. Just a wooden box with holes drilled in and toys stuffed inside for the cats to remove. So, if you have a handy husband consider that route.
If however, your husband is not handy, or doesnt have the time to spare ..... this is a nice product. The finish is very smooth, no rough edges. And the cats really do seem to enjoy taking the toys out of the holes. Plus I get exercise going through the house to find the toys and stuff them back into the holes.
In conclusion, the cats enjoy it, and the humans get more exercise. It is a win win situation. I recommend this product to all "over the top" cat parents. I removed one star because I feel as though the price is a little high for what the product cost to manufacture.
