our chinchilla loves it, its a lot more spacious than her previous cage, and has doors that open fully to play with her while she is in her cage and makes it easier for cleaning. And it adds to the room, instead of looking like a bright colorful cage in the room, it blends in a lot better, more like a piece of furniture. It might take a bit of "force" to put it together as it is contructed of iron, and some corners maybe a bit bent so a soft mallet would be the quickest fix. it weighs ove 100lbs so it is really durable, but may also be a hassel for some it keeping upstairs.
