Very nice to look at and easy to put together. If you need water-proof, keep looking. We have it on a covered porch for a stray cat to use and if the rain blows towards the porch, the inside leaks. We use it on our covered patio now for a plant stand and shelter if the cat chooses. We did have to get a weatherproof unit after this, but it is nice to look at and use in a covered area that is unlikely to get wet.
