"One of the attachable platforms came broken, the instructions were kind of difficult to follow and one of the large side doors does not sit flush inside the hinges and so I had to make a chain out of carabiners (to make sure that the door can close). Other than those things, it works for its purpose..."
"the cage does’t support the wheels and stand part. the screws wont tighten had to use zipties. it decided to go on sale right after i bought it too. used for a bird so the bar spacing is too wide. the two side doors leaves a huge gap in the middle bc they do not meet"

If budget is your priority and you can manage the assembly and potential minor repairs, this cage might work for you. However, for a more reliable and trouble-free experience, a better-invested product might be wiser.
