That looks GREAT!
It takes some time for them to try new things...sometimes you have to show them it's safe

Looks Great the only thing I would do would be to swap the dowl perch for a real wood tree branch they love to chew and pick the bark off....check the safe list and clean as stated ....

I think it looks great...I'd add a few shreddable toys periodically...a little variety and something to let him sink his beak into...LOL...

I like it! The only thing I would change is that I would not have the sandy perch at the very top. Those perches should be stood on for a little bit (or they can give them sores on the bottom of their feet). They usually recommend to place them by food dishes. Birds usually favor the highest perch in their cage, so I imagine your birds stands on the sandy perch more than any other... any other type of perch would be fine for the highest perch.

Looks great to me, remember to swap toys and perches from time to time.

Here are some pic of my set up. Of course I change it around a bit here and there and move the cage too. I have a UV light and some fake plants. They also have a TV and everything is on a timer so if I work late or something happens the lights and TV come on and off at the specified times.
They are in their own room so they can have the cage doors open all the time. They still choose to sit in their cage a fair bit and usually sleep inside. I think it gives them a level of security.
I think your set up looks great. Do you have a happy hut for your baby to have a nap and get out of the light? Just a suggestion. Remeber to inspect the hut if you get one for loose treads and holes and repair or replace it.
I also attached a picture of their stand.
