It met my expectation. It is a pretty good size and good layout chicken coop. Instruction is clear and easy to put together. I painted it in barn style and we like it. I think it is too crowd to have 8 chicken inside if you don't do free range run. I have 5 young silkies and they feel comfortable inside. The wood is not very thick, but it does the job with this price. I did add wood glue based on some other review. Overall, we are happy with the coop.
