I thought it would have been perfect but when the package arrived the box was banged up a bit but nothing much, however, when I removed the cage it was bent in many places. I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back so I kept it and am trying my best to straighten out the bent places. The top of the cage isn't flat it is warped. It makes me question if Wayfair only sells 2nds? Again the box wasn't punctured but it did have two or three areas with small tears in the cardboard. I think a sheet of styrofoam would prevent these imperfections if they were caused during shipping. The price was reasonable and the cage was very easy to assemble by myself!
