Maplewood chicken people, looking for Urban Coop Company customer

Looking at Urban Coops website and apparently someone in Maplewood purchased one.  If you're reading this, are they worth the price?  Which model did you get?  How long have you had it?  Now that you own one, would you recommend buying one?


They're not cheap, but they do look better made than most of the coops out there, and I'm not sure if I'm handy enough to DIY something safe and secure enough for my hens.


Tractor supply seems to have lower priced decent coops.

We bought one from TSC a few weeks ago.  The door fell to pieces the other day, less than a month old. I was able to piece it back together with L-brackets and such.  Reviews on them aren’t great, but we bought ours as a temporary stop gap and didn’t expect it to last years. We just didn’t expect it to start falling apart in less than a month 


It was held together with staples instead of real nails and screws  tongue wink 


We got our coop in 2012 and it's still solid as a rock. It is from a place somewhere in Sussex County, on the way to Tractor Supply. It was one of those places that has coops and sheds and little buildings like that already made. 


That's my daughter in the photo holding a fake chicken, it was before we got our first chicks.
