> 24 hourOk not the best, again I purchase this item with a guarantee of next day delivery and it did not come until two days later which I never would’ve on it if I would’ve known that, The cage is OK it’s a little bit of a pain in the butt to set up it should be more like a $30 cage but definitely won’t pay this price again for this cage.

> 24 hourI bought this cage as an expansion since my diamond dove pair have started a family. They are admittedly pretty small, but not significantly smaller than finches for example, so if you have small birds you intend on using this cage for, please read this, but: TLDR -- This cage is weak at the bars, structurally unsound, and unsafe because it has significant gaps that small birds can fit through that cant be adequately blocked off. The construction was OK, but it was a pain in the butt to get some of the pieces secured in place sometimes, and the instructions werent entirely helpful (they condense the most significant parts of the assembly process into essentially a single step). That wasnt a horrible problem though, just an annoyance. Another more minor complaint is that there is no basin for the slide-out bin to rest in, which means that even using a seed catcher around your cage, whatever substrate you use, food, poop, etc. will fling out from the side bottoms. Your best bet is situating the entire cage into a tray or a box on its own so there is at least something to catch thrown material. The most significant limitation of this cage is that structurally, its garbage. First, the bars are the weakest I have ever seen or experienced on a cage. They completely bend without any application of finger strength whatsoever, except at the edges. This means that when youre working with assembly, you have to be careful because using the cage for any leverage at all risks making permanent, significant bends, or compromising the integrity of the cage. Second, the base of the cage is incredibly weak. Its a very limited number of crossbars which completely fold and cave under the weight of the cage. That means during assembly, during use, during maintenance or cleaning, if the resting position of the cage is not at least as big as the perimeter of the cage itself, the underside bends. A lot. But even if the base you use is large and solid, there is inadequate security at the front portion of the cage, where the slide-out tray is located. Which means even if you put the cage on a nice, firm table, the front end of it leans forward. I cant fathom how this even made it past testing--using the cage in its default position, the cage is folding on itself. Thats insane. That all said, the absolute worst part of this cage, and by worst I mean actually unsafe, is the gaps. This goes beyond just, for example, the top corners of the cage not being flush or secured. The gap at the bottom where the tray lies is so significant in size that small birds heads can fit through. For diamond doves, this is a death sentence, since they spend a significant amount of time foraging off the base of the cage; and worse a death sentence for young birds that spend an even larger part of their time on the ground. And this section of the cage is not flush, and the front of the cage is not stable. That means even if you place a barrier of some kind to cover this section of the cage (ignoring that youre supposed to be able to easily remove the slide-out tray for cleaning) such as cardboard or a plastic shield, there will still be a gap no matter where you put it, unless you were to drill holes in it and secure it to the cage, which would make it impossible to clean. My last gripe is the bottom set of railings. In other cages Ive purchased, there will be a railing bottom for birds to walk. Im not sure about other species of birds, but for diamond doves this is not safe--it can cause significant toe and foot damage. The tray filled with substrate is actually where they walk, which isnt typically a problem because in other cages, you can just remove those bars. But no, even in this weak cage, for some reason the bars are secured by thick metal wire that I had to pry off with a flat head screwdriver and remove just to make the cage livable for my birds. The only positive to this was that I instead placed these metal wires at the base of the cage and secured it there to make it more structurally sound. Im going to do additional work on this cage since I already bought it, but if you have small birds and were looking for something large and relatively inexpensive, I would seriously suggest spending the extra $30 - $50 for a similarly sized but far better quality cage. This cage may be acceptable if you have larger small birds like conures or budgies, but certainly not finches, diamond doves, or other similarly small birds.

> 24 hourProduct arrived with cosmetic defects and scrapes, and shipping box had large tear in it. Easy to assemble, but cage is very flimsy, I would be fearful to move it with anything in it, as it would likely collapse. When assembled, gaps remain that a determined bird could get out of. I would not buy this product again.

> 24 hourI’ll keep it simple. It’s very spacious for 2 parakeets, reasonably sturdy, and absolutely adorable. I took out the bottom grate out of preference so I will say In doing that it makes the bottom a little less sturdy. I also want to add that while I was assembling, there were a couple spots where the paint was chipping off but after seeing my budgie play with the bars It seems strong enough against their beak (I think I was just too rough with it). But overall I’m obsessed with it! So much better than my previous cage.

> 24 hourThe manual is so bad-pictures only. You need a pair of pliers to squeeze down the clips. My Brother-law had to put it together for me and he griped all the time about the instructions. I did not go on line for manual so not sure it is any better and why would they just not include with cage kit. Once put together it is pretty strong and looks good. Also if you want to use the two perch wood bars check them for wood splinters and you need to put them inside the cage before you close sides as you cannot insert them thru the front door.

> 24 hourIf anything needs to be put in the cage larger than the small door, the large door creates a big opening that I do not like. Might be fine for other birds but not canaries and finches. Makes it easy for them to get out. No side doors. Quality seems the same as other cages of this size/type. Side handles are nicer than others that have only one handle on the top
