"When I first got the house, I was very excited. The instructions were not very clear (just a diagram on the box), but overall it was easy to put together. Also, it looked great in the back yard. It took two days for the dogs to get used to it (we have a doberman and a mixed breed dog) and it seemed like it was a good thing. On day three, they began rough housing inside and knocked the roof off. When I went to put the roof back on, I noticed that they had chewed the insides of it. By the 6th day, all the trim was gone from the sides and two boards have been knocked out of the side of the house. I finally nailed the roof on, but the dobie was able to get on top of it and pull the shingles off. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in the quality of this house. If you have little dogs with no inclination to chew or play, it may work. But, its flimsy boardss don't stand a chance against two normal dogs."
