4.0 out of 5 stars Economical purchase, April 14, 2008

By	B Meyers (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suncast DH350 Dog House (Misc.)

I have an older dog, so didn't want to spend a ton of money for something, not knowing how long it would be used (sadly), despite the other reviews, I wanted to find out myself. It was very simple to put together, I did not find it flimsy, maybe if all the tabs aren't locked into place. Someone said theirs blew away in a wind storm, but it IS recommened to be fastened down, which I did, made a frame of wood and fastened it to it, seems to be very sturdy. I cut a scrap piece of carpet to fit and my dog is now in HEAVEN! Yes it isn't insulated, but think that can be easily remedied by anyone who is a little bit handy. I think what I like the best is not having to paint it, wash it down and be done with it! It is also a very cute house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy, thin, and a huge disappointment! A waste of money!!, June 18, 2008

By	Molly Block "We are what we think.' ~Buddha" (North Central Sunny Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Suncast DH350 Dog House (Misc.)

I used $90 in Amazon gift certs to buy this doghouse, and I only spent .19 cents on it, after taxes. I shipped for free. I wish I'd never bought this doghouse! While it IS adorable, it is a waste of money! It it VERY flimsy. The plastic panels are very thin and wobbly. It was NOT easy to put together by oneself! The bottom 2 panels, the floor, are so thin and the tabs on them are very small, very thin, and very breakable! The whole house snaps together, but you really need 2 people to assemble it. I finally got it all together, and put the door flaps on. They are held on by wingnuts that do NOT screw on, but stay on with force. (However, it says in the instructions NOT to force them on!!) They DO NOT stay on, however! And there are no threads on the posts to thread them on. The door panels keep falling off. There IS a channel inside that collects fluids, but there is nowhere for those fluids to run off. There are no holes to drain those fluids. This morning, the morning after I put it together, I go out there and it is already coming apart at the back. I wish I'd had my camera to take the video (I didn't know we could submit video reviews). Next time, I WILL video this cheap house for you to see. I have a Labrador Retriever, and while he seems to LOVE his new house, I wish I'd paid another $60 and got the large dogloo. His other dogloo cracked on the bottom and I thought this cute house would replace it, but it does not. His dogloo was VERY heavy and very sturdy compared to this thin house. I am afraid the rain will not even stay out, considering how the whole thing goes together. The roof comes in two pieces that you slide together, and I am not convinced the rain will stay out. BEWARE: This house is CUTE, but that's about all! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID! Get the dogloo made of sturdy construction instead! I should have listered to the other reviewers who said the same, about how flimsy it is; one person's blew across the yard because they didn't have it staked down. Well, you need to stake it down because it hardly weighs anything! I can't stake mine down because the darn thing keeps coming apart! I am thinking of taking a torch to the tabs to melt them in place, if that's what I've got to do to keep it together! What a rip off! I'm off now to send Suncast an email to complain about it! Please don't buy this house, you'll be sorry! The smaller ones, for smaller dogs, are probably a lot sturdier. I think the size of this one was it's folly...... very cheap, flimsy and unacceptable! It's not much stronger than cardboard, probably because of it's size. Such a disappointment!!! I'm stuck now with a cute yard decoration that is practically useless. What good is it if it won't stay together?


UPDATE: I emailed Suncast to tell them about their flimsy house, and here is their reply:

Thank you for contacting Suncast, Ms. Block. We are very disappointed to hear such frustration from our consumer.

I forwarded your message to the Engineering department for their expertise. They would ask that you try one more time to assemble the unit. They did state that the floor tabs are really hard to get together and added that If the connections aren't snapped correctly, the whole thing can come apart.

They have asked me to try to encourage you to try it again and be sure each snap gets snapped. If you do get this deluxe dog house assembled, it becomes a very strong house.

Please let me know if you are successful or not. I am here to help you.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is Okay, March 1, 2008

By	Pamela J. Karr (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Suncast DH350 Dog House (Misc.)

The dog house is easy to construct, but it is a little flimsy. We had a windstorm, and the dog house was blown across the yard and fell apart. It also doesn't provide very much insulation to keep our dog warm/cool from the weather.
