Much as expected. Nice and big for our massive boy. Timber is lite weight and it was easy to assemble with two people (the lid was a bit tricky). It is a little flimsy, it twists on itself due to lack of a cross beam at the roof and the floor supports seem like an after thought by the designer. Other than that it's good and our boy likes it. Recommend airing it out for a week prior to use due to the potent smell of the timber stain.
