The coop/hutch was easy for my 12 year old son and I to assemble. The kit came with extra hardware which is always a plus. I agree with other reviews that this is too small to use solely as a chicken coop but it functions perfectly as a safe haven at night, for nesting etc within a penned area. We have a 15 pound rabbit that is safe and snuggly in here but we let him run a larger penned area during daylight hours. The drawer and nesting box make for easy cleaning. The latches started to show rust within 24 hours. Our next task is to replace those 3 items.
