I bought one of these a few years ago for my back yard (I have cats who love to hang out in the back yard - the yard is fenced in, so they can't get out of it, so it's a safe place for them). It was pretty easy to put together (okay, I might have made my husband do the work, but didn't hear much swearing, so it can't have been too difficult), and once I put a layer of straw on the floor of the house, the cats LOVE it. In fact, they liked it so much that I got a second one so they wouldn't have to share. I highly recommend it, I think it looks fantastic, and I love that it's got feet so that it's a couple of inches up off the ground. When it rains, I don't have to worry about the inside of the house getting wet. I highly recommend it!
