"I like it. Looks nice and displays arboreals well. It's just a tad expensive."

— Ryan

"The door is glued on with the cheapest most useless glue I have ever encountered. I reglued the door on but I will never order from chewy again."

Bottom Line

Consider alternatives if durability and functional issues are a concern. The enclosure is nice to look at but has serious flaws that may not make it worth the price.
