Spacious and Functional Habitat for My Tortoise
I purchased the BIRASIL Wood Tortoise House a year ago for my adult tortoise, and overall, I'm quite pleased with the product. The enclosure offers ample space, allowing my tortoise to move around comfortably. The two-room design provides a cozy sleeping area and a separate space for basking, which my pet seems to appreciate.Assembly was straightforward, and I managed to put it together in about an hour. The removable tray at the bottom is a thoughtful feature, making cleaning much easier and helping to maintain hygiene. I also appreciate the lockable latches, which add an extra layer of security.One minor drawback is the quality of the wood. It feels a bit lightweight, and I'm curious to see how it holds up over time but it has lasted a year so far woth no issues.Overall, this habitat meets my needs and provides a comfortable environment for my tortoise. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a functional and spacious enclosure.

Happy tortoise!
We bought this for our son's tortoise, who loves his bachelor pad. Plenty of room to roam around, sun, eat and sleep. Good quality, easy assembly.

Few things to know before you buy...
Just finished assembling the house for our tortoise, Tank, and there are a few things that may be helpful to know. First of all, it was fine. About what I expected for a mass-produced-in-China product. So, overall, I am satisfied. However, it was not perfect and here's the list of flaws, as I see it.- One small, minor scuff on the Plexiglas. It's in the upper corner of the back window so will not affect viewing enjoyment.- There is a fairly strong odor from the finishes and adhesives so I plan to let it air out in the garage for a couple weeks before moving Tank into his new home.- One small piece of the wood was split where a stop for the cover prop was nailed on. Easily fixed with a little wood glue and a clamp.- The wood is finished but was not sanded especially smooth. But it's fine. I'm just a perfectionist with stuff like that.- The adhesive that was used to attach the plastic tray to its frame was slopped on so there was tacky adhesive all around the edge of the tray. It needed to be removed or it would end up with substrate stuck to it. Plan on a half hour with some mineral spirits and a couple rags to do a thorough cleanup. Look, I get it. If I was a worker in a Chinese factory, earning crap wages just so bougie Americans can buy a $120 house for their tortoise, I'd be slopping that glue on, too.- There were no pre-drilled holes in the parts that receive the business end of the screws. By that I mean, say you are attaching a leg to the end frame. There are holes for the screws in the leg, but no holes in the frame. Same for the hinges. They are pre-attached to the cover frames, but no holes in the box. I suppose the intent was to just drive in the sharp screws and let them self-tap, but I strongly advise against that. The wood is hard and dry and some places are fairly thin and you could risk splitting the wood. So, I took the time to pre-drill holes. If you choose to do the same, here are the drill sizes I recommend for the various screws:"A" screws 7/64""B" screws 3/32""C" screws 1/16"Aside from the above, assembly was pretty straight forward and easy and the instructions are clear. After attaching the legs to the two end pieces, you'll want to flip things upside down to assemble the sides to the ends and interior divider. If you happen to have a box clamp that can accommodate 24 inches, you will find that useful to hold things together while you drill the screw holes, but totally not necessary. Once that's complete, turn it right side up and you just need to attach the covers. Position them, drill the holes for the hinges, and screw them on.On the positive side, the house is spacious, light weight, and seems sturdy enough. The plastic bottom is great for containing various spills, nonporous, and should be easy to clean. The legs are optional so it can set on a flat surface. There are convenient supports that pivot up to prop open the covers. I appreciate that an extra screw of each size was included. And the price is reasonable.Overall, I am satisfied with the tortoise house. It will be a fine home for Tank when he's not out roaming around the yard. Couldn't give it 5 stars due to the above issues, but the end result is what I wanted in making the purchase. I'll give it 4 stars, as long as the odor dissipates. It pretty much met my expectations.

Nice enclosure
Bought this for my tortoise and he absolutely loves it. It's very easy to put together and well-built. Also a very attractive color.

Yes and No
I was torn with my rating so I gave it a 3 star.Yes - it is a nice size enclosure, design is good and it was easy to put together.No - the paint on the white parts of the enclosure was so faint that it barely looked painted. It was almost as if it wasn’t finished and I got many splinters in my hand. I spent an additional $20 or more on sand paper and non-toxic paint. There was another part that has a crack in it but I just decided to ignore it because my turtle needed a home. Also, the entire thing was covered in dust. I basically had to wipe it down before I could even start.Hope this additional info helps!

Nice for the price
I needed a quail coop/brooder box quickly so I ordered this one. It was very easy to assemble and it is the perfect size for quail chicks. The only issues that I have found so far is that this house it is not very sturdy and that the wood splinters easily. I was hoping to put this house outside but the wood does not have a protective seal on it so it would get damaged in the weather, I'm sure that I can easily add a protective layer. It is a perfect indoor house though!

Preassembled parts were incorrectly assembled
This table is very poor quality. The preassembled parts from the factory were incorrect. You're supposed to be able to have the small room at one end with no glass walls to allow the tortoise a dark hideaway. The factory assembled the latches and lid frame stoppers in reverse, requiring that the glass end panel be installed in the hideaway side of the table or else the lid latches and lift supports would no longer be in the correct spots. Totally non-functional, don't waste your money.

Just great
We got a North American wood turtle and she loves this, my kid, teenager, wife as well. The Plexi glass or acrylic see thru side pieces are super cool to view her thru. Especially, with a toddler who wants to open it all the time to see her. The material is nice, the construction is beautiful, and the colors kind and pleasant. For a normal DIY'r (do it yourself'r), i thought it was worth the money and the few days it took to arrive.
