Chickencoops NW - Anyone used

[Steph29]

Looking for a coop for 4 hens. Normally would DIY, but we are in the middle of a house renovation and don't think my husband will have the patience to also build a coop. I know many have had issues with coops they have bought online being to flimsy or poorly build. Wanted to see if anyone might have any feedback on coops from Chickencoops NW, especially their Retreat Coop: https://myurbanfarmers.myshopify.com/collections/coops/products/the-retreat-ready-early-june

Live in Montana so flimsy is a major concern.

Thank you in advance

Look at their URL.
"myurbanfarmers"---they are junk. "Flimsy" is being kind. You have to love how they say "All of ours coops are shipped from the USA." Not "made in the USA." Clever...not.
They apparently sell their crap under several different names. If you click on a link for "Chicken Coops NW" you get that page but are diverted to the "My Urban Farmers" site with your next click.
These coops are made in China of "Chinese Fir," which is actually an inferior soft cedar.
JUNK.
Tons of really bad reviews on the internet and I believe there are some here on BYC.
Here are a few reviews:

Not good.

I ordered one from there earlier in this year for similar reasons as you... and was not happy. The wood is VERY soft. The joints are not terribly secure partially due to the soft wood so the coop ended up being slightly unstable. I ended up making various modifications in an attempt to shore it up a bit and was moderately successful. In the end though I still was dissatisfied, since i still had the time crunch and resource availability issue, I ended up getting a kit from TSC which is actually relatively decent.
