I bought 3 of these, and aside from 1 of them being a little mis-milled, they were good quality, super easy to assemble and took stain nicely. They’ve weathered quite well over the year that they’ve been up, and they look nice.

My 6 year old is very into woodworking and loved this project. He was able to do it mostly independently and the outcome was beautiful.

The value is good. Great quality and size. We had fun painting it, but the child has been frustrated with putting it together.

We had 6 nieces and nephews coming to visit and we wanted them to be able to assemble birdhouses and paint them so they could take them home and enjoy them. I looked at multiple birdhouses on Amazon and read so many reviews. I finally decided to purchase these and I am so happy that I did. The quality is exceptional and we had no problems with any missing parts. You don’t even have to use the leaf pattern, but instead you can assemble the birdhouse with this pattern on the inside. The kid’s parents decided to put the birdhouses together first, instead of letting the kids do it. We had a battery powered drill and all 6 of them were completely assembled in less than 30 minutes. I did not use the paints provided in this product. I instead ordered a box of high quality assorted outdoor acrylic paints on Amazon, which were also nontoxic and an assortment of paintbrushes of different sizes. I felt the outdoor paint would hold up outside much longer. I also did not want to add a sealant on the outside, because it could be harmful for the birds. It doesn’t have a dowel for a bird to perch on, but I learned that these dowels make it easier for animals, like squirrels, to get into the birdhouse. Someone had complained that the roof had some open places. If you put this together correctly, this is not true. The pieces of wood on the roof actually overlap over each other, but they do leave a small space between and underneath the piece of wood above it to allow airflow for the birds. The kids loved painting these and they did it in about an hour. I also ordered 2 others from a different brand for bigger birds for their mothers to paint and they thoroughly enjoyed painting them with the kids. I also purchased a package of small men’s white T-shirt’s for the kids to wear when they painted and this was great, because they then would not mess up their clothes. The paint really has no odor and this was a big plus. The paint washes off very easily initially, but if you wait, then it becomes more difficult. When I washed the white T-shirts the next day with some bleach, the paint came out of 4 of them. When the kids were finished painting them, we placed them outside to dry and the next morning they were. The kids had so much fun and the parents were so appreciative. The birdhouses turned out so cute. Now I have a whole set of outdoor acrylic paints left that I can use to paint some outside tables. I am so excited about this. These birdhouses are the best in my opinion. I just wish the seller would not keep going up on the price, since I have noticed they have risen the price of them twice recently. I think this just makes it more difficult for parents to purchase these for their kids, especially if they have to buy multiple ones like we did. It also provides the birds a home if the kids chose to hang them outside instead of displaying them. I highly recommend this birdhouse.

This was a gift for my 7-year-old grandson who loves crafts and more recently became curious about the birds in his yard. It came out just like the picture and he's been moving it around his yard for several months. The other similar crafts were all labeled for indoor decorative use only -- not at all appropriate for his interests. While he's probably not going to have a bird move in, he enjoys setting it in a planter with bird seed in front of it in hopes of attracting a bird. It's withstood the weather so far. I like that it is assembled with screws, has a simple but colorful design to paint, and doesn't look like it'll fall apart anytime soon.

I don't usually do reviews, but this bird house product was so well made and thought out, I have to recommend it. Many kits have the pre-drilled holes not line up so one has to either drill holes or have the screws not line up and really ruin the project. This product is very well made, easy to assemble, and, as long as one has a small star-head screw driver, very easy to assemble. Even includes paint and brush for finishing touches.

Es muy buena calidad pero debe ser armada por un adulto. Lo único que pudo hacer mi hija es pintarla.

I love this birdhouse. So easy to assemble and a nice size. I saw other people complaining about gaps in it, but those are there to provide circulation so the birds don't suffocate! It is not a problem as far as I'm concerned. I painted the leaves first, then stained it, assembled it and finished it with a coat of spray varnish to seal it. I also added a perch by drilling a hole and using a wooden dowel which took all of 15 seconds. Looking forward to hanging it up in the spring. I'm ordering more to make as Christmas gifts.

Enjoyable for a morning but adults required to put in the screws. Children enjoyed helping. The hole as entrance is way too small. Haven’t thought of a way to re-purpose the beautifully painted and decorated bird houses yet. So they are just sitting on the toy shelf.

Bought this for my son. He absolutely loved building it. He needed minimal help. Held up to the Canadian elements pretty well also.

My six year old grandson had a wonderful time building and painting this. As the wood was pre-drilled it was relatively easy for him to do himself with guidance from grandad. He was so proud of himself to have made something which also had a use.
