This cage is perfect for one or two small birds (e.g., parakeets). I like the overall look/design and the fact that it's black so you can 'see' the birds better against the black wire. It a nice size too, except I wish it was a bit deeper, meaning more square in its overall 'footprint' size. The three small sliding doors work very well and the food containers have covers on them to keep out bird mess, etc. (a nice-to-have). The larger door that swings open is great too for rearranging perches, toys, etc. This cage also cleans easily. With the birds still in the cage, you simply 'squeeze' the cage off the plastic base and set it aside. Then clean the base, droppings tray and floor grid separately in the sink, then reverse the process to put it back together. I haven't used the stand. However, it looks like its constructed well, similar to the cage, albeit a bit short in height for a bird cage stand (probably can be about a 1/2 to a foot taller). Overall, a nice buy.
