UPDATE........ No fault of this house but I never got any tenants. Until today when I saw a grey squirrel moving its young, carrying them from a different tree into the owl house. So now I have new residents but not the ones I’d hoped for. But the owl house is nice, you just need willing owls!
I received this very quickly after ordering and waited for a bit of warmer weather over Christmas week to mount it. The door swings upward which makes mounting it a little awkward (trying to keep the door open while on the ladder) so bear that in mind and start the screws in the 4 pre-drilled holes before climbing up. I mounted it about 20' or so high and put dried leaves and small twigs in the bottom before closing the door. It looks fine up there and we are awaiting residents!
The build quality seems quite good and it comes with some pointers on the best way to mount it to attract screech owls. They are around us somewhere as we can hear them (and also Great Horned owls) so I hope we get some tenants soon!
Just remember to prop open the door and pre-set the screws before ascending your ladder with your owl house and drill/screwdriver.
Happy with this purchase.

Took a few years but we now have babies!
Finally we got “Bob” finding our box we put up on a royal palm tree about 20’ up! It’s been up there for a while so I was so happy to have a tenant! Came out this morning and saw her baby peaking out at me! 💕 love this box! Btw, I have another bigger box on the tree next to it and she choose this one! Edit: babies getting bigger and now I want a nest camera for next year!

I ordered this back in October 2015, but my husband didn't get it put up until early spring of 2016. Once in awhile I go out and see a squirrel sticking his head out, which would really irritate me. (Don't the squirrels know this is an OWL house?) Ha ha. We live in north Texas and I've heard that there are a lot of screech owls in our area and that they are good for controlling mice and rodents.
Great quality, well constructed and fun to see "who" moves in...

Lately, we've heard the pretty shrills of a screech owl in the evenings, but never actually saw one. Then last night at dusk I was in the backyard and looked up. There he/she was. The most adorable screech owl. He hung out there for at least an hour. So excited that someone moved in.

On a whim I ordered this and put it up just after Christmas. End of February we spotted the female who had moved into the house. Took us almost a month to spot the male. This weekend we spotted the two chicks. The owl house is in a 30 plus foot Red Oak tree so spotting these 6 or so inch tall owls can be a challenge. Along with our neighbors we've been enjoying having them in our yard. Nice solid product and owl approved. BTW... these owls have different color variations. We have a reddish male and a grey female.
