I am so happy with this! I decided to put it on my porch. Other reviews said they were concerned about the quality, but I do not understand. I think it would last very well out in the yard, but I just use it for my cats and I don’t want them to dig out. I am so happy with it. I had a handyman put it together, and he did an excellent job. He didn’t complain about it at all. It seemed like it had all the parts that were needed and I think the shingles on the roof seem very sturdy. They are similar to the ones on the house, not sandpaper as another reviewer said. That’s a￼￼n unfair exaggeration. I would recommend this to my closest friend. It is an excellent purchase and I ccannot be more satisfied. Bargain price too.￼
