It was hard to give this perch an exact star rating because, as I read in a couple of the past reviews, he has this horrible smell.  It's well built and constructed so for that I would give it a five, but that smell is so bad that I can't even bring it in the house.  That being said I'd have to rate it much lower.  It's just been sitting outside in the stairwell.  I was hoping the smell would air out, but it hasn't yet.  Time to call customer service and see what they'll help me out with.  I have to say I've shopped this site quite a bit and have never been disappointed.  Everything has always been great and I tell all my friends about this site.  I've shopped here for quite a long time and I'm always surprised over just how many of my friends have never heard of it.
