This arrived in pretty good shape. There was some damage to the box which caused a few nicks and dings in the cage bars. The shipping was good, but the cage itself was absolute hell to put together.The pieces didn't meet up properly. We had to hammer certain pieces ( which chipped the coating on the bars) until they fit into their designated holes. It took over an hour to complete. It looks nice when completed, but the top of the cage doesn't seem too secure and the top pan on the inside sits at a weird angle....
