I'm not really sure how this received 4 stars.  I rarely write reviews.  It is cheaply made.  Got mine  delivered on 12/17/20. Didn't open til 1/31/21, due to holidays, and catching COVID. Upon opening, we noticed at least 5 pieces are slightly damaged.  Spoke to a rep. because we didn't open until after the 30 day return period, they will send replacement parts, cannot return.  My husband ended up gluing the dowels,(small peg like wood that fits into the pre-drilled holes) so it would be sturdier. Instructions were not specific. Could not tell which direction/order pieces had to go, (up/down). As he is screwing the screws in, he hears the wood splitting.  Since we purchased this for the outside feral's, I am concerned how it will hold up for the rest of the winter.   I 'd say it's best for indoors.
