The Birdhouse is made out of what seemed to be particle board & tin. A few major issues we experienced: 30 degree weather with no central heat (there was a coffee maker size heater that kept turning off), leaking water on the floor near the sink (mold / musty smell), musty sheets (didn’t smell like they had been washed), stains of old liquid in the trash can bag and a cockroach wing petal on the bedside rug. All in all, you get what you pay for.
