Is that all one piece or is that just a table the two cages are sitting on?

The top sections are one piece an the stand(the 2x4 construction) is another piece. All is getting skinned with cabinet grade plywood and painted(don't hate me for painting can grade wood) black, to match our other furniture in the living room.
I made the pieces separate so they can be moved easily. There will be provisions to attach them for safety and to keep then aligned.

ok cool. cant wait to see it finished. I love seeing what other people create! You were asking earlier about attachind an UTH to wood? It looks like you have wood working skills so this is what you do! ... on the bottom of the cage cut out a hole 1" smaller than a ceramic tile. ( I use a 16"x16" tile) I cut the hole to 15"x15" and then route the tile into the remaining 1/2" surrounding the hole so you have a 1/2" lip all the way around the hole to where the tile is flush with the INSIDE of the enclosure. Then silicone the tile onto that lip. When that dries cover the whole floor with laminate and you have a perfectly waterproof spot on the floor that you can attach a UTH to the outside and the ceramic transfers the heat perfectly to the inside with very little heat loss!. There you have it, from one custom cage builder to the next! Did you check out a pic of my set up?

Thanks for the advice! I actually changed my mind and I'm gonna go with Pro-Products RHP's instead.
And yes I did check out your build and it looks phenomenal! Awesome work!

i run pro product rhp in all of my set ups ( they work fantastic as far as im concerned ...BUT just to be on the safe side I did inlay a tile into the floor of all of the cages anyways. It only cost me $1.67 per cage to do it . Now I have a back up plan just in case I have a mechanical failure in one of my RHP ( unlikely but possibly) The way I look at it , for that price its better to be safe than soory. I could run an UTH while waiting for a replacement RHP. Something to think about!
