Looking into an amazon cage, how does it look?

Looks ok, but it’s probably just being drop shipped from China (notice the delivery date is like a month+ out). If you were really set on that cage, you can probably find it for half that price on aliexpress.

For amazon metal cages, I’ve always heard good things about Ternance.

its also available at house of denial

 

@GarryWaa link not working repost or photo. I would say on any cage don't get a split ring most have problems with then bidding skin. Link works for me now!

 

I have pretty much the same cage and it works fine. I know I like that style of base ring. More comfortable than the round rings.

 

Definitely best ring style.
Be sure you get the right diameter.
I got a 50 and one of the boys is an escape ar-teeste and im going down to a 45 on my new one.
Its a beautiful design. Have you worn a stubby before?

 

looks nice. i wonder how the wider cage bars feel compared to rounded ones on older style models

 

I did buy a Chinese cage with the same ring with a different tube.

The ring is heavy. The rest of the cage (mind) is way too heavy.

 

A second vote here for going with AliExpress, yes you have to wait a few extra weeks for delivery, but you get the same device at a fraction of the price.
