Outdoor Dog House for Summer – Weatherproof Wooden Kennel with Chew-Proof Iron Frame, Removable Floor & Adjustable Vent Window for Large and Medium Dogs (Grey, 43.5" D x 29.5" W x 33.5" H)

I don't always leave reviews, but this dog house deserves one.1. Well engineered2. Parts bagged for easy identification and an extra screw in each bag, nice touch.3. Clear instructions4. Screw holes properly aligned, assembled easily, sturdy walls, leakproof roof, floor pops right in. I did adjust the bracket holes slightly on the window shutter, to make the arm close properly, but that was an obvious and easy fix.5. I could have bought all the parts at home depot and built my own dog house, but the ease of this one makes it a no brainer, plus fun to assemble with daughter. I doubt mine would look as good.6. The only thing I added was a bead of caulking compound along the apex line of the roof that doesn't open. We live in an area where rain and snow blow horizontally, so figured to be certain it wouldn't leak. I used a wire coat hanger and two of the extra screws and made a latch on the hinged roof that folds open, just to be sure a strong gust of wind doesn't blow it open. Could be overkill.7. There is an odor to the house, similar to wood perservative, but the instructions say that will fade after a few days. They might have meant weeks. I'm at one week and it's about half gone. Hopefully the wood will last a long time. If it doesn't I'll update this review. A little straw on the inside and home sweet home.8. Our dog is 20 lbs, but I think it's big enough for 30 lbs, depending on stature. Sold as a medium to large house, but I'd say small to medium, at most.End//

DO NOT PURCHASE!!! The minute I opened up the box I notice that one of the pieces was slightly damaged, which I was fine with. I continue to take out all the pieces from the box. I noticed a lot more pieces were damaged cracked had fallen apart. The quality of the material is not good at all. It’s very fragile.My husband and I just rescued a dog that had been abandoned and we needed something ASAP for this dog to keep her warm at night so with a little elbow grease I used some nail glue an extra material to build her a sturdy dog house.The reason I did not send it back is because we needed this doghouse ASAP because a storm was coming in and she needed to be kept warm.I did look at other dog houses. I did like the size of this one and how easy it was to clean, but the quality of it is just horrible.

A bit flimsy

Not as sturdy as I expected it to be, but loved the fact that you can lift the roof and look in on newborn pups.

It’s sturdy, one side of the top opens for easy access. We haven’t put it outside yet, still have to get the area ready.

This product came with splits in the trim from the manufacturer, overall looks nice. However I have bad dogs and they chew up everything.

Doghouse was better than I expected. Our beagle loves it went with a bigger one so she would have extra room.

I bought this for my sister's dog....he is half Anatolian Shepard/half great Pyrenees....so BIG dog. I been looking for a long time to find a house that can be outside and is big enough for him.First off - arrived on time. Packaged nicely. No broken parts.Easy to put together. My sister and I are not DIY' ers but it was easy enough.The smell -- was atrocious! I understand sealant being put on for rain proofing(at least I hope that is what I was smelling) but it needs to air out before shipping! There is no way that - that smell is good for a dog to continue to smell!The appearance on the house is very nice......but it's so thin! I seen made if wood on the add and was like YES.......pressed wood that is like .08 thick.....does not make it WOOD. So NO it is not a value for the money. It is about as thick as a wide tongue depressor.This thing is going to fall apart as soon as we have a good wind storm.And I seen the size advertised.....and thought yes Big House.......the house is a nice size. He will be able to stand and turn around. If he can get in the door to get in there.Would I recommend....No absolutely not. Save your money and keep searching if your looking for something that is going to hold up to the outdoor weather.No I'm not sending it back. I'll donate to the dog shelter where I live. Maybe the cats can use it.
