Some of the wood was splintering and peeling when we opened the box. Putting together was easy, have had it about two weeks will be surprised if it lasts a year. Pull out drawer gets stuck. Overall would not buy again.

It is a good hutch if you are just looking for a place for food and sleep. It is not Pest Proof a fox could knock it over. You would want it inside an inside an animal proof pen. We purchased to go inside a chicken pen that just need a shelter & protect its food . It’s good for that. And light enough I can move it around. But don’t purchase it as it’s shelter house by itself!

Only 4 stars as the easy clean mats are two pieces and are a downfall. The hutch is light enough to lift off the mats, which makes me wonder why they just do not come with a tray, and an option for for a second tray to just swap out when cleaning. Speaking of lightweight, I would not recommend using this outside. A coyote or Raccoon could tear into this in .5 seconds. Not built strong enough to ward of any predator's at all. But for on a porch or inside its perfect, minus the "easy clean", that could use some work.

Instructions were straightforward and was easy to assemble. Works great to integrate my 9 week old chickens with the rest of the flock. It's a little flimsy, but worth the money.
