I was really happy to have found this coop on sale. Honestly, the quality of this coop is way better than the $400 coop we bought at Home Depot. We liked this coop so much we bought another one. The only issue we had was that the hinges for the roof panels over the "house" were wrong and we had to go purchase new hinges. Also, I painted this coop with exterior paint. If you want to leave it plain, I would suggest that it be sealed.
