The finished product is great, but took over three hours to assemble (probably 100 or more parts, poor assembly instructions). When ordering, I saw no information indicating "assembly required."

2.0 out of 5 stars Can you say Erector set?, December 30, 2007

I did not see anywhere on the box where assembly was required. The house is made up of about 72 seperate sections you put together with hundred of tiny nuts and bolts in tight corners. Can you say Erector set? Of course, they include three warnings that all the metal pieces are sharp and they are, so be careful! I sat in front of the television watching the football game while assembling. Directions were ok, but could have been much better. I did have to backtrack and fix some things before getting into a rythmn and doing it on my own. Definitely not for someone that might have a hard time with assembly.

This appears to be the same house as sold by Sears over 30 years ago. Had it with me while in the air force. Very popular with Martins. Enjoyed their company and melodious chatter for many years while stationed from Florida to North Dakota. For best results you should live within a half mile or so of a body of water and have a fairly open yard. Assembly is a piece of cake. (ever put together an steel storage shed?) Good quality. Light weight. Cool for the birds. This hobby is not set up and forget. Like a home aquarium, you have to learn to maintain it properly, treat your quests with love and respect and they'll come back year after year. Interesting, they do seem to enjoy your company just as much as you do theirs. Highly recommended.
