I assembled the house on my own, which is doable, but it would have been better with two people. Could have used an extra pair of hands 😬 The parts all fit together well, and the back door opens and closes smoothly. I’m very happy with the house, and so are my two little ones. From March 2022, I’ll be putting it on the terrace, sheltered under a balcony.

When it first arrived, door would not fit on the back. Offered refund or exchange; too bust with doing cat volunteering. Next, the top of it has " caved in". This is all in the period of less than 20 months. Nice, but needs to be sheltered from the rain! That's the whole point. It should be able to withstand the rain.

The house looks really beautiful and is also quite quick to assemble. The frequently mentioned issue with the flap is a user error and not a design flaw. The upper base plate needs to be inserted in such a way that there is still space in front of the flap, meaning there should be a gap between the base and the back wall. Then the flap fits perfectly. If the base flap is inserted incorrectly, the flap won't fit either.

The outside of the box said from China and while I was painting the cat house I noticed inside there were lots of little red spiders not like anything Ive ever seen in the UK they looked dead but it was a bit worrying.

Wood damaged, cat face room entrances all squint, not good quality at all..

Looks nice but very thin and not for outdoors the roof material drops grit off all the time. The back door can't shut as the floor between the two levels sticks out too far and even if it didn't the door is too small so there would be a big gap. Problem is you dont discover thus until the end at which point you're too fed up to dismantle it to return it shame as it looks really nice.

Roof is plywood and the tiles are stuck on. As the whole roof is screwed on, the water enters the plywood and rots it. So now I have front, back and base still okay but whole thing is useless because of the roof

Easy to assemble, easier than expected. Also gives a sturdy impression. Would order it again anytime.

Very cute little shelter for the fur babies. It's a little smaller than expected, but my boy is nearly 7 kilos and fits. I think a bigger more nervous cat might not want to squeeze into the holes. It was easy enough to put together, better with a helper if you have one. It's a very soft pine and looks like it has been white washed but probably not weather proofed

Very happy with this cat house. I have three fluffy annoyances so the perfect size for them. Easy to build. Would of been 5 stars but the backdoor is very awkward, there is a slight gap at the top and the lock is very stiff, but other than that, I love it and so do my cats. No more guilt for me, when I'm stuck at work and it starts raining 😊

Even though, I like the over all look of the cat house, it is made of very thin pine which easily splits. The door for the back of the house did not fit, I had to remove a chuck of wood out of the door so that it would close due to the upper floor.. Also the openings are not very wide. Not impressed at all !

Lovely little cat house. We've put it into the catio for our 2 indoor cats to play in. Thinking of giving it a lick of paint thus spring to freshen up. :)

Assembly was easier than expected. The flap at the back – hinge/screw combination – isn’t functional, but I simply screwed the hinge onto the outside so that it works. The balcony board at the front had to be mounted the other way around, otherwise it barely holds under load. You’ll need a few extra screws to make it stable. Otherwise, it’s very nice and was immediately well-received by my three cats. However, it should be placed under cover.

I've had the house on the balcony (under the roof) for 2 years now. My cats love using it. I would buy it again anytime.

Quick and easy to assemble alone. Seems robust for the money. Good size for almost any cat (I have 25, all shapes & sizes). I bought a second one of these as the cats just seem to adore this structure even more than their plastic igloo style hideaways. Two of the smaller cats snuggle together even in the top bed with seemly no problems. The door at the back gives easy access for cleaning and changing bedding. I use hay in all our outdoor beds. I would happily recommend this to anyone

Ample space inside. Looks good. Warning: it comes very lightly whitewashed so will NEED painting or treating to last outside. I did a terrible slapdash varnish job as can be seen in pics. Going to line with straw for warmth. Construction issues: back door would not fit inside hole as inside struts were hitting top shelf, so sliced a hole in the middle of the struts with a saw and now it fits perfectly (see photo). Outer shelf did not pull flush to the front so added 2 screws inside to support.

Loved this at first, very attractive, stained it to match my shed. However, 9 months later, the inside walls are all black with damp mould ( even though it's in a sheltered place on the patio ) so obviously not very weatherproof. Don't want my kitties sitting in that, so it's going to the tip 😒

The braces on the rear-mounted door prevent it from even coming close to being closed. How could something like this go unnoticed? The only solution here is to rework it yourself. While you're at it, the incorrectly installed hinges will also need to be adjusted.

I have this house outside in the free-range enclosure. My indoor cats took to it straight away.

Really pleased with this outdoor cat house, I've painted it to match my fencing and it looks really smart.
