1.0 out of 5 stars Be prepared for a lot of work, April 10, 2008

By	Brian Wilkinson (Browntown, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It took us more than 4 hours to put this house together. Design seems to have been done in the 1950s rather than 21st century. Instructions were absolutely hopeless. And don't try to put this together yourself -- you need at least two people. The steel pole that we bought with this martin house also has hopeless instructions and the locking device is ridiculous. The only way we can stop the pole from collapsing in a high wind is to put duct tape around each joint. We would definitely not buy this product again. We are keeping our fingers croosed that it will survive the next high wind

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't put this together alone!, February 16, 2009

By	Jill Ayers "twinb" (NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not to mention razor sharp edges. Horrible instructions. The Martins love this style house and after our first house (we got already assembled from a friend) got damaged in a wind storm we decided to get a larger house. Wow just too much work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT MARTIN HOUSE, July 12, 2009

By	C. Thompson (MOOREFIELD, WV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the 12 room version of this house about 10 years ago. It has held up extreemly well. It does take patience and time to assemble, but well worth the effort. The extension pole which I set in concrete works very well and I have had no problems with the lock on the sections. I recently moved and intend to set it up again. As soon as a colony is established I will be buying another of these houses or adding more floors to the one I have.
