I got this on sale and so it was perfect for what I needed, which was a hiding place for my outdoor cat to have peace and an eating area away from my large mastiffs. I wouldn't call it warm for the outdoors, we went ahead and lined the interior with fleece and added a heating pad, but at $40 I'm pleased enough. Easy to put together, and since my cat feels safest up high, I just used some cast iron brackets I had and hung it against the wood wall of our covered porch. Shipping was reasonable-- Not much else to say! :D
