Help me evaluate this coop!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site and chickens, but have been reading up on the excellent information here for a few weeks. I'm about to pull the trigger on a coop and I wanted some opinions before I do. My situation is this: I have a decent-sized expanse of grass in the backyard for 2-3 chickens. I'm not looking to ever expand beyond that. I'm aware that most here build their own coops, but this is outside my wheelhouse and I found this coop, which seems to fit my needs: http://www.ranch-coop.com/Chicken-coop-with-cedar-roof.html
These people seem to know what they're talking about, but I'm so new I can't be sure. I like the ability to move it around in different parts of the yard, the ventilation seems adequate, and here in South Texas we don't much need winterizing. For some reason, the plastic coops don't appeal to me. Is there anything I'm missing? Any alternatives you'd recommend? I looked at the Roost N Root portable, but it's considerably more expensive.
Any opinions would be great. Thanks in advance.


any kind that you like will work but any kind you buy put wire on the bottom most of them don't have it on but it will save your chicken from varmints
 
Well, to give this little story an ending, yesterday evening I went to look at a coop being sold locally, and I believe it will be at my house on Saturday! It's a hoop garden tractor, well-used and needing some rehab, but will be a good fit for my backyard. Also, about $300 less than the one I was considering. Thanks again, everyone, for your replies!
