If you live in a place with very mild weather, this could be a good starter coop.  However, I've had to make a large number of modifications and repairs to it due to the wild Midwestern weather.  The roof blew off twice during severe storms and it needed some insulation during a cold snap.  Be aware that the wood is quite thin and feels similar to a balsa wood.  However, it is still standing after almost year of use so it's overall not too bad for the price.
