Excellent Product
This is a very sturdy, well made hutch at a reasonable price. It is also very easy to put together - once you understand the first pictorial instruction which is far from clear! (You need to realize that part "1" is a catch although it looks nothing like one in the illustration.) One minor improvement could be made by adding an additional cross bar to support the lower back panel which is a bit flimsy without one. The top panel has a cross bar, so I don't understand why the bottom does not. Indeed it has two screw holes in it, and there were two spares screws left after assembly, which almost implied there should have been another cross bar. However, overall an excellent hutch which gives a rabbit plenty of room.
Rabbit Hutch
Great Value for money, although bunnies have nearly eaten most of it already. These were very easy to assemble and the raincover fits perfectly.
Could do better
A bit disappointed by this to be honest. I didn't find it that easy to assemble due to limited instructions. Also the top section divider doesn't fit correctly, and I can't get the ramp catch to fit. I was also surprised by how flimsy it is overall - I can't seeing it lasting many winters. The main problem however for our two (young) guinea pigs is that they find the ramp too steep - they seem frightened and won't come down it, and really struggle to get up it. Perhaps I am expecting too much at this price. However, on reflection, I'd have bought a wire run, and just kept them in their much stronger hutch.
Update - after just a few weeks out in the rain, some of the plywood started to come apart. The guinea pigs also could not use the ramp - it seemed too steep for them. I took the hutch apart, and made it into a single decker, using replacement 12mm external plywood. Not impressed at all by this product.
