I personally ordered two of these Owl Nest Boxes

They are perfect size for an Owl they wood is pre burnt using a Japanese technique called Shou Sugi Ban so that the wood is protected and it will last a long time.

I gave one to a friend and he put it together the box is big and very spacious inside for an owl.

And sure if an owl does not use it some other birds will.

Put it up and see what flies into it.

In the words of Kevin Costner if you build it they will come.

no you didn’t.

That's not suitable for any Irish Owls.
It's awful quality.
It's not sized for any Irish box nesting bird.
It's Chinese tat.
it's comical. There's a Budgie using it in one of their photos.😅

Why you don't want negative but accurate replies defies logic.

Not big enough for an owl and the hole in it is way too big for any small bird to nest in it as bigger bird's would raid it.

Someone posted this rubbish before

I think "someone" was the OP here, and they've evidently history/priors for junk-posting given they feel the need to include the below in the post…..

Got to love the budgie photo - the people selling in have clearly put zero thought into their 'marketing' photos for Amazon - sell an Owl box with a Budgie and a Parakeet to illustrate!!!

Did anyone look at the size? I make bird boxes for blue tits and the like that are much the same size only with a smaller hole.

The way the front opens did give me an idea for a design change on mine.

It's too big for Blue or Great Tits.

Robo, are you the one selling this crap or why would you recommend it? Seriously......

They're not even particularly cheap for what they are.

Here's 2 perfectly reliable nest boxes for £17

A bird box needs to be big enough for a pair of adults and whatever chick's they breed , here's a pic of an owl box I put up about 20 years ago, it's not pretty but the owls seem happy with it, the opening at the top and the shelf are needed to prevent the chick's from falling out

Explain that to the Great Tits that nest in our letter/parcel box each year.

Yeah but unlike the one in the OP's link, you're unlikely to see budgies nesting in that one!
