I purchased this for my young female syrian after she showed signs of extreme unhappiness in the 50 gallon bin cage she was living in as she grew up and became larger. So far this has shown to be an EXCELLENT upgrade for her and quality product in the 4 days she has been in it.The assembly is really quite simple. During assembly I was worried about the sturdiness of the product but it does all come together nicely and is definitely a quality product. The front acrylic piece does wiggle a little but it truly isn't an issue, and in my experience so far the more bedding the firmer it stays in place which works great for me. The lock is comes with to keep the lid down is definitely bad and I am unsure why it only comes with one lock for one side. I purchased a 2 pack of baby locks on here for 5 bucks, which is a MUCH better solution. So far hammy has shown no interest in the top of the enclosure other than a few sniffs, but I'd say baby locks are definitely the best way to be sure no escape attemps will occur. Several reviews here say there were no holes drilled into the wood. What I experienced was there were, but they were very shallow. It was enough where I could get the screw into the hole but I had to put a lot of elbow grease into getting some of them properly screwed in. Overall though it wasn't too much of a pain. Everything was in good condition.The cage LOOKS absolutely gorgeous and has ample room for all her enrichment. I love how it looks and I love how quality it feels. It's lightweight so I reccomend this over a 75 gallon tank. For the price point and aesthetic look this is an absolute steal compared to niteangel enclosures (I love their products but this is the same quality at a great price for what you are getting). It is pricey but out of all the options out there, it comes out to one of the more affordable properly sized enclosures for a syrian.I am not seeing much opportunity for her to chew through this other than the wood encasing the plexiglass windows on the side. She has shown no interest in it thus far, but I can definitely see it being an issue if you did not provide enough enrichment for some reason. I will update if this ends up being an issue for us when she goes into heat next, but as she's never been a huge chewer, I feel it won't be a problem, and that's my only real criticism of this enclosure.The space on the top with the vents provides some space to place a little decor as I did, but I definitely would keep it minimal as to not block off air flow and ventilation.Since putting my hamster in this cage she has displayed zero signs of stress and is clearly much happier which makes me happy and this purchase 100% worth it, and I'm looking foward to it continuing to work for us long term.Overall as of now I'm very satisfied and reccomend the product :)EDIT: I had to move across country with my hamster which took 5 days and I had to take this cage apart since it was too big for the car, it was banging around under all my stuff for days and went back together with no issues and no damage when I arrived. For a piece of Amazon furniture I absolutely didn't expect it to. Just reinforces this cage deserves 1000/5 stars lol.

5 Stars, finally. This is the 4th hamster cage I purchased recently. My daughter got a Syrian hamster for Christmas and we put it in my old 10-gallon aquarium. I wanted to update to a bigger cage so I bought an all-acrylic one. It was cracked when it came out of the package and I didn't trust it with cats so I returned it. I purchased the Ferplast and the larger Prevue cage (both highly reviewed) which were due to arrive on the same day. I figured I'd choose between them. Unfortunately, our hamster passed away unexpectedly before we had a chance to open the boxes. A few weeks later, my daughter fell in love with a dwarf hamster at the pet store so we set up the Ferplast cage. I loved the size but not the cage. Within 72 hours, the new hamster got his paw stuck underneath the plastic cap on the side and the base was cracked. A pretty large piece of acrylic had broken and went missing. I returned the prevue because it was very large and I didn't trust that the wires were close enough together all the way around the cage. I finally bought the Prolee; it had been sitting in my cart for awhile and I wish I had just bought it first. It has a great look and feels very sturdy. The front sheet of plexiglass is very thick (I expected it to be thin and flimsy). It even comes with a plastic sheet for extra protection for the bottom of the cage. I had expected to make something myself so I was pleasantly surprised. I am not worried about my cats jumping on top (I'm not encouraging it but I have to be prepared for it). I trust the lock enough to use it, I may end up replacing it. My only complaint is that I wish the top of the cage was flat so I could weigh down the lid. Otherwise, it's beautiful, spacious, and sturdy. Yes, it's expensive but it was worth it. I'm really looking forward to setting it up with all of the new accessories I bought when they arrive. I had a lot of trouble getting the screws to go into the wood so I lightly tapped them in with a hammer until they were "stuck." I then pulled them out and screwed them in with no problems. Set-up was super easy after that.

The media could not be loaded.

A nice, easy to assemble kit but that is it really. There were a couple of screws that didn't engage into the wood correctly but just sufficiently enough to be okay to live with. I would say that there is a number of far cheaper options available that would do the job just as well at a fraction of the price. Okay but certainly not worth the £345 price tag. About half of that price would be better value.
