The cage had some minor damage, a few bars slightly bent but nothing dangerous to bird or noticeable to anyone except person putting it together. Best price for cage anywhere, lower even than local listings for similar cages in the used marketplace. Bird loves it, perfect size for my large Amazon. Nicely finished neutral color, sturdy, good quality wheels & trays, with food bowls that can't be thrown. Bar spacing is just right for medium parrot to cllimb, thus encouraging exercise. Very happy with this purchase.
