Not difficult to assemble. It's good for 4 but tight. I coated mine with polyurethane varnish after assembly because it's soft wood and not really well weather proofed. It has held up very well in the past two years. It is light weight but a great price. I have 4 of them.

It is adequate for four hens. The only problem I had with assembly was that the floor wasn't perfectly rectangle, so the slats that covered the floor kept falling to the ground. I just nailed in a 1 x 1 inch remnant to each side and the slats stayed fine after that. Other than that, I found it very easy to assemble, although it goes much faster if you have 2 people. It is surprisingly light and easy to move, also.

It wasn't hard to assemble. ...my husband and son did it in about an hour. They did put some roofing paper on the roof that I think has helped to extend the life of it. We have rabbits in it so I don't know about hens. The nesting box seems like it would fit 2 comfortably.

Very easy to assemble. Yes 4 hens would be fine but in the winter place a heat lamp in it because there is no insulation. I propped it up on bricks as well and packed hay under it so it would keep them warm in the winter. Also so the wood wouldn't rot. It's a great coop! I would buy it again. I place hay in the inside and they love the perch. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy!

Easy assembly...don't think the 4would fit to comfy. Looks big in picture but is actually pretty small. Good for 2 maybe 3. I've heard of people getting two of the coops.don't know your situation.

It's not hard to assemble. Took me about 15 minutes. If you have a big cat, I advise against getting it. It's kitten size.

Hi! I would not recommend this chicken coop. I received the wrong coop in the mail and it was only half there... It was red and white and had no instructions or tray or anything. I ended up getting mine at cconly and am very happy with it.

Yes, as easy as it assembles, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. The first time takes a little longer. I have 13 of these and they assemble easy and consistent. That is important - the manufacturing is very uniform. If you plan on disassembling and transporting it often, be sure not to over tighten allen style bolts. Just snug them tight so you can untighten without stripping them. This crate is worth the price and superior to similar ones that look the same but lower priced.

Its not that hard its a two person move or an awkward one person. Its best to set it up first. Smart idea I didn't and well it wasn't so much fun putting it together which did take some time with a whining child.

The box it comes in is pretty easy to manuever. You will need 2 people to put it together.

Assembly is not difficult -- it is easier with 2 people, but it can be done by one person. I recommend reading the instructions carefully. If you follow the directions, you should not have any problems.

I would say it is fairly easy. My husband is not a handyman and he and I put 2 sets together in 3 hours. It may be quicker for you! You need a drill. you can assemble alone, but much easier if you have 2 people.

No, it wasn't easy. You need at least 2 or more people to assemble. Time and effort. Once it is set up, it is a great shed.

Its not hard to assemble, you need two adults though. I have it sitting in about 4 inches of pea gravel and it does okay, i would recommend definitely staking it or setting it in cement.

I'm going to purchase this for my 4 Coturnix quails. Keep in mind that quails like to snuggle and sit on top of each other even when they have plenty of space. I think 6 might be tight in the coop, but they would probably manage fine. I will update after I actually receive it. :)

We have 4 chickens and they really only sleep in the coop. I let my chickens free range in my backyard. I think the bottom part of the coop, the run, is too small for 4 fully grown chickens. That said, it is a very sturdy coop and it looks nice in our urban backyard. We are very happy with it.

Assembly is required. It's not terribly difficult. I was able to do it by myself.

This is not difficult to assemble. Will take 5-10 min depending on how handy you are.

Not too difficult. It's a whole lot easier to assemble if there are two of you doing the work. Fan is of good quality (knobs are sturdy) and runs pretty quietly. I use it for both outdoor on the deck and inside to cool off rooms on the west side of the house. Might be a little loud to use in the bedroom while sleeping.

It wasn't too difficult. If you don't assemble it too tightly it should go pretty quickly. If I were using it like that I think I would try to keep most of the horizontal pieces put together and only take apart the verticals.

It's not that difficult. Instructions are clear. Try it yourself first. You can get anyone to assemble it if you struggle.
