I love this cage. It is pretty easy to put together and my hamster really loves it. He absolutely loves the tubes. He carries his food up to the loft area then goes back down the tube head first and hangs in the middle of the tube upside down and starts dropping all the food into the bottom of the tube. He also does this with the bedding. After buying mine I saw the same cage in petco for about $60.00 so it really is a great buy.
