The price was great, in my opinion. It was simple to put together, my 15 year old daughter did it by herself. I have recently had to put some things together that consisted of the particle board type of furnishings. It was the worst experience. With this hutch, everything was present, simple instructions, real wood and all of the pieces, which is a great plus. She added a coat of paint and varnish to the outside pieces, to keep it from deteriorating from the weather. We will reinforce the wire and maybe add a few more screws for security and stability, we have cats and dogs, they could get in. The construction is solid and it looks great.  I think the hutch is darling, it is going to make a nice little cabin for the rabbits we will be getting this week for her FFA project over the summer. I just have to put it where everyone can see it, it's too cute to keep out of sight.  Now we have to get another one for my younger daughter, a different style, of course.
