Good quality. I thought shipping was a little pricey but when I opened it, I can see why. Excellent packaging. I think you could drop this out of an airplane and if it doesn’t hit cement it will be ok. Good instructions, easy to assemble. All holes predriiied. All parts marked. Sturdy, well made!

My husband and I are definitely not handy! But we were able to put this together with our drill using a couple different size attachments. The pieces were marked well with numbers and the directions were easy to follow. We watched a video that was available, and we did learn one thing about two screws, potentially hitting one another when putting the wheels on. Knowing that, we were able to avoid the problem.We think this is a really sturdy unit, especially for the price. It has two small doors, top and bottom and two large opening doors. We enjoy being able to have our kitty out on the patio with us when we're out there, so she's not meowing about being left behind. We were used to having an indoor outdoor cat who had the freedom to explore. Unfortunately, we lost her to a coyote and decided to do an indoor only cat. But this at least gives her the opportunity to watch birds and butterflies and listen to all the sounds and smell all the smells so she has some additional stimulation. Recommend this product.

Let's start with the WOOD....it's incredibly lightweight and the instruction manual states it's "FIR". Other reviewers state it's "painted", well, that depends on what one calls "painted". Yes, all the pieces have been coated but the process is called "washed", not painted. For those who aren't familiar with "washed", it's a quick coating of water and paint to give the piece the paint color but not the paint coverage and protection. It's a quick technique appropriate for certain situations. I clear coat sealed each piece, with water seal, before assembling the unit. I don't plan to leave outside in wet weather, I'm positive it wouldn't last long getting wet and being subject to wet of any kind. I also have a tarp ready should a storm pop up unexpected. ASSEMBLY. Instructions recommend 2 people and admittedly, some steps would have been easier with another set of hands, however, it IS possible to assemble it by yourself. I'm a 65 y.o. retired female contractor, with obvious muscle loss due to age but handling the pieces was super easy. The pre-drilled holes match up nicely, the pieces are lettered/numbered clearly, minimal tools required and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. It's a great little "hut" for your felines. It's substantial for cats but I don't suggest putting your weight on the bottom floor of the unit. The included wheels roll nicely. I've moved it all around my concrete and up the 1" ledge into my garage without any issues. One of the shelves, the one at the bottom of the top door opening, does not show being screwed down, just lays loose on bracing....I did not like that thinking a jump from the platform above may cause the edge to go down, which would cause the other side to fly up, leave the bracing, causing the cat to flip and land in the bottom, so I screwed each side at an angle, into the outer framing. ROOF... the roof is a tad bit heavy but manageable and covered with a tar-like overlay. It looks to be water repellant because of the tar covering, however, the wood around is the same light weight, washed Fir, that won't withstand the wet elements for any length of time. I wanted my cat to be able to access the catio from a window but the cute little lift up doors didn't match up to any windows, so I had to improvise, modify the top front door, with an opening that would line up with my desired window. I cut scrap I had to assemble 2 identical, mitered frames. I removed the door so I could lay it flat and stapled the wire mesh to the outside mitered frame. I then screwed the other frame to the stapled frame. Next, I snipped out the wire mesh...VIOLA....an opening. I installed a hinged door to the frame so I could close up the hole if I wanted to roll the unit to another location, with my cat inside. I also added corner bracing for another platform and did not screw on the back of the included shelter box so my cat could see out both ends, right out the window hole exit. Overall, I'm pleased with this catio. I certainly could not have built it for what it cost. It does seem flimsy early on during the assembly however, sturdies up as more pieces are added. Not sure how long it would last being exposed to wet weather, so I'll be rolling it into the garage to hopefully extend the life of the unit. It's a really good deal, even with the shipping cost. My cat climbs the wired sides, doesn't understand why he's confined, being able to see and hear everything so clearly but can't get thru that wire barrier. He does enjoy watching the bird action going in and out of the bird house right beside his "hut". I do think he likes his new enclosure much better than watching from inside the house.

My cat is ENCHANTED with the structure and function of this neat catio. The 4 doors on different levels of one side of the catio create flexible entry and exit options for the cat and the pet parent. Well thought out, solid, quite good value for the price. The sloped roof protects against rain and the location of the shelves makes sense. The caster wheels are useful. The hut is for sized smaller cats (mine is a Maine Coon and scoffs at it) but the screening, roof material and easy of assembly make this a winner.

J’ai monté à l’intérieur de ma maison, vu que c’était hivernal sur mon patio. Mes chats aiment, j’ai mis ça sympathique, petits jouets etc…très contente de mon achat.

This is a great outdoor (or indoor) enclosure for cats. It is relatively easy to put together (I did it solo) and the cats are already enjoying it. I would have preferred larger castors (Maybe 6" Rubber Wheels) as we would like to move it around on the property and the wheels that come with it are better suited to smooth surfaces.
