Love the design, but worried if it will be able to hold up in the snow. We got it for an outside cat that was dumped near my home. The cat seems to like it. Having the doors on one side with the other side closed from the wind works good. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because I am waiting to see if the snow becomes a problem.  Our winters are cold and snowy, so I will let you know how well it holds up by mid winter. If you have an area that is covered, this house would be great. I like the fact that I can break it down to clean the inside, then reassemble it again.
