Easy to assemble. About half an hour at most. Lightweight. Totally waterproof as it has been through a good spell of rain and it remained dry. Ideal for a small dog. The only problem I have is that there is no insulation so the cats don't use it at night. (my dog was too big for it) My advice is to put some insulation in it before you put the roof on - some polystyrene for example but it does need some as the wood is thin. I put heavy tiles on the roof for insulation but it wasn't successful.

The hut arrived quickly. It looks pretty good; I bought it for my tomcat’s 14th birthday. Unfortunately, the wood is a bit thin, so I’m curious how long the hut will stay sturdy. The assembly kit is a bit of a hassle because the instructions don’t really explain which boards go where. (Made in China) It took me about 3 hours to put it together. That’s definitely not fun. But I was happy to do it for my cat, and he took to the hut straight away.
