Overall, we are very pleased with this aviary which we intended for 4 parakeets on a covered back porch. It is sufficiently sturdy for our needs but I wouldn't recommend it for an uncovered area fully exposed to sun/wind/rain. Simple to assemble with pics. Made a few simple modifications attaching roof. Some of the wire was bent and couldn't be straightened but mostly just aesthetic. Note that when bottom tray is removed, it leave the bottom open so if birds flew down, they could get out. I just try to clean it quickly and put it back in. This is an excellent price for what you get. We are very pleased with it.
