It came faster than expected and very well packaged! It took about 30 minutes for my husband and I to put together. The directions were horrible. It is sturdy and a great quality cage. My only complaint is the manufacturing of 1 piece was off at the top. Not that big of a deal, but disappointing. I did contact Wayfair in regards to the space between the cage and food doors. Wayfair confirmed that it was 1/2 inch. I measured a little over. I have lovebirds and I personally don't have an issue with them squeezing through. I would be leary of smaller birds. All and all I love the platinum cage and will be ordering another soon!
