My hamster loves the cage, but it came with no holes. I broke two drill bits drilling pilot holes. It was horrible to put together. The shelves dont perfectly line up. Also, I didn't notice when I bought it, but it doesn't have a place for a water bottle. For as much money as I spent, I'm a little annoyed.
Not all the parts fit together properly, but I made it all work. Good for hamsters of all sizes. But it doesn't give enough space for 6inch of bedding so I just only used 1 level
Love thos cage and so does my hamster. I put the door on top so I could give her a burrow space. my son and I was able to put together. Took 2 hours. Easy to clean and all I cam say is do your research if you are going to build a healthya space for your hamster. I am very pleased with my cage and would definitely buy again.
Firstly we got it in 2 days it was super fast. My daughter and I (Non-handy mom) set it up in no time. It was very easy. It looks very nice. Only thing I don't like is the very back has a peace of wood that I understand it is part of the support but it leaves half an inch space between the bottom rack and the back wall and the hamster is very happy peeing and pooing there. It's not easy to wash that area unless I turn it sideways.
And also the top floor is very close to the mesh at the top, it allow the hamster to climb and hang from it, making it dangerous as it has fallen to the bottom floor twice now. Wish the top had part plexy glass and part mesh to avoid this from happening.
I only put my hamster in this cage today, so I do not know how it will last over time but it seems sturdy and was mostly pretty simple to build. I love the amount of space this cage gives and I took out the first shelf and placed the larger shelf on the top level so I couldn't have plenty of burrow room, which this cage allows :) It also looks super cute. I also painted the wood with plastic ore to protect it for longer hopefully, and it was chipped in some places but overall a good cage.

My son's Hampter was unfortunately able to chew his way out from this cage. If that didn't happen, I would definitely rate this item very high. RIP Little friend
