I bought the Betty house -
Delivery was fast and the product is generally of a good quality. Quality control on the other hand is obviously poor as the end roof panel on the right side was split by the manufacturer either over tightening, or using too big a screw without a pilot hole. As it was easily fixed with a new screw and a bit of filler, I haven't complained - was quicker and easier to just fix it!
The house itself works pretty well. Ventilation is decent and the sliding tray works well. Instructions were absolutely awful so be prepared for a bit of head scratching. Make sure to remember and fit the handles before the roof goes on!!!
The only flaws I would say this has are firstly and most importantly, the roost bars are lower than the nesting boxes. This obviously results in a bird or two using nests to sleep in, which isnt very good. I plan to raise the bars myself, but really this is a basic thing that anyone who designs chicken houses should be aware of. Other than that big issue, the only other things Id say is that the ramp doesn't stay in place very well at all (Ive used a brick to secure it for now) and the sliding door is quite tightly fitted into the runners. This may be an issue using an auto door opener when its freezing overnight, or the wood expands in the rain. Time will tell.
Overall, Im pretty happy with the house for the price. Its not perfect, but similar houses from elsewhere are far more expensive.
