Natural Wood Stand Platform 5‘’x11'' for Hamster Mice Chinchilla Chipmunk, Small Animals Habitat Toy HM-10

Love the price, easy installation and great alternative to the cheap plastic levels that most cages come with that tend to break easily when doing weekly thorough deep cleans. I will be buying more to add change for my rats.

First of all it came broken. The screw that goes into the board had completely come out. Thankfully the hole wasn’t stripped so I was able to screw in back in by hand. Secondly installed it’s pretty flimsy. We have a rabbit hutch with chicken wire so that may be a factor however my one year old chinchilla sits on it and it bows downward. Our six month old chinchilla sits on it just fine. So wouldn’t recommend for any pet bigger than a rat.

We purchased this for our mini dwarf Holland lop bunny. I am pretty sure he is lighter than the average handful of grapes. The two fender washers are two small to attach to the bars of the cage and went right through, so I had to go out and buy larger ones. That still didn't work, so I had to do my best McGyvering to get this little piece of wood to stay on the bars of my rabbit's cage. I drilled 5 holes in the wood and secured it to the bars on the cage with zip-ties in addition to using the flimsy fender washers. Even after all that, to ensure it was really going to hold up to my light-as-a-feather rabbit, I then had to brace it underneath with a box. Bottom line, I am an idiot. I could have easily found a stray piece of wood in my shed and zip tied this myself without having to purchase extra washers or pay for this junk in the first place. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The reason for my headline and 4 star rating is as follows:1) Washers: although large if you have 1"x2" openings on your cage getting both washers to catch and hold was difficult (would be solved with slightly larger washers)2) Shelf size looks okay, I'm using it for rats so it should be okay for them but I'd think for a large adult chinchilla this shelf would actually be two small.3) very difficult to get installed when doing it by yourself if you have a larger cage (however this really can't be put as a negative towards the product but felt it needed to be included for reference for other people).The product came in a timely manner with all hardware included needed to install and the board was not damaged at all.

This is smooth and it holds our cockatiel well. The only thing I don’t like is that I foresee it coming apart eventually due to washing it off. I don’t not submerge it. I wash it as I hold it to keep the material from wanting to separate. But it’s just going to happen. I don’t know a way around it. It’s our little mans favorite place in his cage.

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this wooden shelf for a rat cage that I was setting up for some new rescue boys I got. Since the cage I got was the Amazon Basics Add-On cage, there was a lot of open space to fill up to allow the boys to get to their hammocks. This shelf was a perfect solution. It’s nice and sturdy and does not move once installed. If installing on a cage with the wider bar spacing though, (1 inch) you need to use larger washers than what comes with the shelf. I purchased a box of 100 fender washers that are 1/4, 2” and they work perfectly.

Both of my lovebirds love these shelves they are on them all the time. One of them also likes to chew on it as well. Will definitely buy more when needed.

When I order the ledge the washers got a little bent during transit. I got an email saying asking how I liked the item and I mentioned the washers so maybe they can ship it with the washers in their own bag to help avoid them getting bent and they sent me an email back saying that they would send me another one and I could keep the original. I was very surprised I was just trying to offer a suggestion the ledge works perfectly however the went the extra mile to correct even the smallest inconvenience. The ledge is very sturdy. Extremely pleased.

I ordered this for my bird to give him an additional platform on the outside of his cage and honestly I was disappointed with the quality.For $13.99 you are better off to go to your local hardware store and buy the components and assembled this yourself using untreated pine (you could make quite a few for the same price). The board itself is made from thin wood (roughly 1/4" thick) and the wood was not sanded and the edges were rough (I ended up sanding it myself as it would have risked splinters for my bird or any other small animal).Additionally, they only provided two washers total for the installation even though it fastens with two bolts. These platforms work best with two washer per bolt, one inside the cage and one outside to keep the platform steady on the bars. Thankfully I had extra washers laying around that I could use.I recommend either making a platform yourself, or buying a different product. I've bought other wooden pet platforms from amazon and in stores that were much higher quality than this for the same price.

Very sturdy and excellent quality. Will definitely be buying more when it's time to replace the old ones. We'll worth the money.
