I am overall happy with the purchase,looks really nice in my living room but the thing is the shelves and stairs are in plastic.We are in 2013 and all reviews i read everywhere on the net said they had metal shelves in after 2011 even a review on wayfair mentionned the metal so that was quite disapointing.I should of bought it elsewhere where the price was only 30$ more expensive but at least i wouldnt have to change the shelving in a year or two because it will stink up urine.This fits my 6 pet rats easy.They love it.
