We bought this kit over the summer- LOVE IT!!!!!!! We have the 10x10 one. Just finished painting it finally. We still have to do some interior work as far as perches/ poop boards. Great quality and easy to assemble. We did have 1 problem though, they put the wrong size temporary roof supports in- my husband was able to cut them down and then they worked fine. My only complaints- the material that they use to make the temporary roof supports molds REALLY QUICKLY. You need to paint it asap before any humidity gets to it, it will mold.
We sprayed the inside white with a paint sprayer and it worked great (after applying kilz to the moldy supports). Also- change out the hook and eye closer on the pop door to a more secure one, a raccoon could get in their. Don't forget to cover windows with hardware cloth BEFORE applying the trim. We also added a ridge vent to the roof before we shingled- you will need more ventilation than this coop provides so you might want to consider one. You can not see it at all and does not take away from the round roof (I worried about that). Ours is up against a fence so the inside is really dark- we are working on running electricity. For now we are using an extension cord for their light. Still plenty of work to be done, lol.
Hang on, I am uploading some pics of ours

Ok- here we go, lots of pics. I just took another pic in the dark so you can see where we are (still lots to be done)
We picked the round roof to compliment another coop that my husband built (thanks to plans from a member on BYC!)
this coop still needs a little work also but we needed another coop quickly thanks to chicken math!
Hope these pics help you
