Need some opinions and help please.

My little bit of research led me to believe exactly what you are saying. What is it that makes them "not the best" is it poor hardware or materials or is it something else?

I am looking for something to house my growing collection in that will be practical and can be displayed. + I would like it to look nice for me and I think these set-ups look very nice at a very reasonable price also.

I have some cages that a friend of mine made from hollow core PVC (he makes plantation shutters). For about $50.00 more per cage (on a 48"x24"x15") cage, they beat anything from the manufacturers we've listed - hands down.

The Boaphiles sag, as do the AP and to a lesser extent - the Repti-Racks. They are basic boxes with sliding glass doors with loose tolerances.
