Strong, heavy but the fit had to be readjusted. I have a plucked rescue (no wing feathers or tail) so he has no balance. This is perfect for him to sleep in because there is no danger of him falling. It's very heavy to use as a carrier, personally. The top handle is good but the fit isn't great. 

I got a great price on it, so I would buy it again at said price but not more.
