"Easy to put together, big and bulky, breaks easily."

β€” Zerostars

"This was the absolute worst purchase I have made. I have a larger enclosure that I love but wanted a smaller one for my new cat. In just a month the cheap plywood is destroyed, and no not from being wet! It’s not worth 10 dollars."
