Well, it came today and I was so eager to put it together. I opened the box and luckily there werent that many parts because there were no instructions to be found. After several builds, taking it apart, and rebuilding-I finally got it.
I think for the price, I got a pretty good deal. I read a thread about rounded top and decorative cages AFTER I ordered this one. Hopefully, we wont have any problems.

Very nice cage...I have bought two cages for Harley and he is 3 1/2 years old and never did have instructions in either of the boxes....
So I have to say you did an excellent job of putting it together even though it took awhile to get it together.......

Well, I guess the round tops are harder to hang and space toys-from what I read. Which I could understand that.
I think it is crazy to not include instructions. I guess we are just suppose to magically know where everything goes. Yeah, we are smart people and can figure things out-but just one piece of paper would suffice.

two of my cages have rounded tops the only issue I have with them is that its difficult to attatch a playgym to the top. Since I have numerous play gyms anyways my fids dont care. I like the one you ordered and the stand is lovely.

It looks very nice!

I've seen several of that type for sale online for decent prices. I've really been concidering one! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it seems to be pretty good quality for the money. The cage and stand was $36 with $34 shipping (that is where they make their extra money) BUT for $70 in all, its a real nice cage. I saw one smaller and with the cheep, flimsy metal for $100 at PetsMart.
Impy, I have been planning on making a seperate play stand-so I am not too worried about it.
Now I just have to find that fake bird we have lying somewhere around here and put him in there!!!

Thanks-below is the link. If you have anymore questions or want any other pics, I dont mind answering or sending more pics. The two bowls that it comes with attaches to two doors that swings out for easy feeding. The tray slides out. It definately the more sturdy metal.
Like I said, if you have any other questions-just let me know

Hi, sorry to keep bothering you. what are the measurements of your cage?
absster
Jun 27 2007, 11:42 AM
You are fine-ask as many questions as you like.
The measurements are
20 x 20 x 35"H"with an overall height of 59"
For a better picture, I am 5' 7" and when I stand in front of it the top of the cage is at my nose.

Hi again, I got this cage last night. I can't wait. I'm hoping to get my QP in 3 weeks. Thanks again for telling us about this great deal. I went to Petland after I had seen your post. They had one not quite as big, but no stand. On sale for $198. Whew!!!

So glad I read your post. LOL Gail God bless

It is definately a good deal. Let me know if you have any questions about putting it together after it comes in.
Also, I read their feedback and they are sometimes slow on the shipping. I waited a day after I bought it and because I hadnt received an email from the yet, I sent an email that evening asking when it would be shipped and if I could get a tracking number. After that, I got an email the next morning telling me it has been shipped with the tracking #.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get you qp soon.
