It was super easy to put together by myself. The instructions were easy to follow too. All 3 boxes were 2 days early which was a nice surprise. It does need better locks and it needs locks on the nest box lids. I do recommend putting a sealant on it or painting it prior to assembly. I will be adding some rubber molding to go over the nest box hinges so no water can leak in. Over all, this is a very nice coop! I do recommend this product!
