Nice shelter for the money.
I purchased this because of the size and construction. It was going to be placed on a covered porch so being waterproof is not a concern. All hardware was included and it was pretty easy to put together although the instruction sheet was vague. The only real issue was the bracket that holds up the top lid – no measurements as to where it is to be mounted and the mounting location is key to the function of the lid. Had to try several mounting points before finding one that would work.The floor floats- that is it just sits in place in the framework of the box. I installed a pressure activated heater pad on the floor and the cord for the heater dropped thru the clearance in the corner of the floor and the box with no drilling required, then covered the heater with a flannel blanket.This is pretty light but it’s actually very solid. It is softwood, so don’t overtighten screws as you could strip the holes out. The top hinges up for cleaning. On sunny days the cat sits on top and is very happy but not nearly as happy as he is coming out of it on a bitterly cold morning. When it’s windy we cover it with a heavy moving blanket to insulate it a bit.Overall I’m pretty happy with it. Cat loves it so I guess that’s what matters most. I would buy it again – as a matter of fact I already have purchased a second one.

How do I get the cat to go in???
First I want to say I noticed reviews complaining about the smell, this thing has a beautiful cedar smell, I wish I could get my whole house to smell like this box. No split, cracked, or chipped pieces, all the wood in good condition. Assembly was a breeze, just a few simple steps, with extra hardware provided, feels sturdy enough for our feral friend. Cat showed up on our doorsteps a week ago crying out, we fed him, now he wonât leave, so I figured might as well get him a house, he seems to love lounging on top, still working on getting him to go to the bed we placed inside the box, heâs a cat heâll figure it out, itâs only been 30 minutes so canât complain. Wish I could let him inside but our 2 dogs and current cat donât seem found of that idea, anyways now heâs got his own little spot. Looks nice outside too, definitely not an eyesore.

Functional and esthetically pleasing
I got this for our sweet outdoor cat, hoping he likes it too! Love the color and it smells so good. Assembly was easy EXCEPT the hinges on top (that swings the roof open) came pre-assembled and it was put on backwards. I had to remove both hinges, flip them, then reattach.

Great Home for Old Feral Cat
I am very happy with this product. Easy to assemble. Cute, sturdy & well made. Roof lifts up for easy cleaning. Included was bedding that I supplemented with a pad that was self warming. I have been feeding a feral cat for the past 8 years. I was hoping to tame him after getting him neutered but, he did not like being indoors. This was the perfect solution for our cold Ohio winters. Unfortunately 1st week in December after not seeing him I opened the roof & he had passed to the the rainbow bridge. I know he was secure & warm his last winter. Thank you.

Killed my rabbit!
I bought this to use outside with my female rabbit who was pregnant. She had nine healthy babies and everything was fine. I went out to check on them today and one of the babies had its head stuck in the slats on the bottom of the house, the floor is not a solid piece. It is two pieces and they are very flimsy and somehow this babies head got stuck and it died. My mama bunny and two other babies got stuck in the house when the door got stuck and the lid fell down and it is 90° here today. I just had to rush mama bunny to the vet and I’m not sure she’s going to make it either. She is suffering from heat stroke and seems to have some kind of neurological damage , I am very upset and very angry at this product. I don’t think anyone should purchase this.

Decent product/Poorly Made
It’s a decent product once put together, but the instructions are poor and the hinges were installed incorrectly, causing a lot of trouble to correct and install the top flap. The interior support hinge will not attach on the inside, as the holes are not drilled correctly and the screws are too long – if installed the screws would poke through the top. So I was unable to completely put it together, but it makes a decent box that would comfortably fit one large or two small cats.

Happy rabbit.
What I liked about it it came on time, I also like the price, it wasn’t so expensive. I also like that it’s all natural wood. I assembled it myself it was easy, it says that it takes two people to do it but I managed to do it myself. The holes were perfectly aligned. I don’t know about if it’s waterproof because I have it indoors. Well as you can see the rabbit loves it. She had one but it was small for her so I decided to upgrade her to this beautiful comfortable wooden Hut. Some people call it a cage or home but I call it a hut for her, she likes to hide into it and sleep in it as well. I’m glad I bought it for her. Money well spent. Will recommend it to family and friends or whoever is interested in getting a new cage or a hut for their pets.

Das Häuschen ist heute angekommen und war ruckzuck aufgebaut.Positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass immer 1 Schraube mehr als erforderlich vorhanden war. (sowas hatte ich noch nie!)1.) Der Geruch ist eigentlich logisch:a) Holz allein hat schon seinen eigenen Geruch (das wissen manche “Stadtpflanzen” evtl. nicht) ðb) Holzschutzlasuren natürlich auch, zumal man davon ausgehen muss, dass dierekt danach die Teile verpackt werden und sich der Geruch dadurch wahrscheinlich staut.2.) Ich kann (möchte) mir nicht vorstellen, dass eine Marke wie *Trixie* es sich leisten kann, für ein NAGERHAUS giftige Materialien zu verwenden!!!Die könnten sich vor Klagen nicht retten, wenn das so wäre.3.) Wer hier schreibt, für DAS GELD lieber selben bauen, hat entweder genug Materialien vor Ort, oder kennt die Baumarktpreise nicht.Im Baumarkt zahlt man ja für die Schrauben, Haken etc. schon bald 30â¬!Dazu das Holz, die beschichtete Dachpappe und nicht zu vergessen, den zeitlichen Arbeitsaufwand (Zeit ist Geld)!4.) Hier und da ein kleiner Lüftungsschlitz kann eigentlich nicht schaden, denn im Sommer staut sich die Hitze in so einem Häuschen.Ich habe den Schlitz hinten an der Rückwand abgedichtet, weil mein Haus mal ein Ãberwinterungslager für Igel sein soll (ich hoffe jedenfalls, dass es einen Bewohner bekommt).Hier gab es auch eine Rezension, in der jemand meinte, dort Tiere EINSPERREN zu wollen (als Kaninchenstall), und dass die Tiere ja kein Licht bekämen…BITTE WAS ?????Das ist doch kein Stall zum EINSPERREN, das ist ein Rückzugsort, ein Witterungs-Regenschutz (kein Sonnenschutz= zu heiÃ)!!!Manchmal muss man sich echt an den Kopf fassenð !5.) wer hier schreibt: Holz hält nicht dicht, Feuchtigkeit dringt ein, Holz vergammelt etc…..WARUM läÃt man es denn dann vergammeln, dagegen kann man doch etwas tun!!!Jedenfalls wenn es als Katzenhöhle genutzt werden soll!Es gibt aber auch Farbe, die von Tieren/Kindern benagt werden dürfen. Wer als nicht möchte, dass das Häuschen weggammelt (völlig normal unter Regen- und Sonneneinwirkungen), der tut etwas dagegen und sieht dabei nicht zu!Zäune und Gartenhäuser überläÃt man ja auch nicht sich selbst, sondern streicht sie regelmäÃig!Ansonsten wird eine Nutzung als Nagerhaus wohl kaum im Winter witterungsfrei herumstehen, sondern geschützt, so wie auch die Nager selbst.Da ich es erst heute zusammen gebaut, isoliert und gestrichen habe, kann ich natürlich noch nichts zur Haltbarkeit sagen.Sollten sich hier noch negative Eigenschaften herausstellen, werde ich die Bewertung selbstverständlich bearbeiten.Erst einmal gibt es 5 Sterne Vorschusslorbeeren!Evtl. setze ich noch mal Bilder ein (wenn meine Internetverbindung es zuläÃt)ð£
