Seriously, I keep giving the small hobby cage makers the benefit of the doubt (especially since they apparently have good reviews??), but I keep getting the short end lmao. And also that 4 level rack from the local rack maker guy too, which he re-made as well. :I
It sounds totally worth it to buy from AP or pvccages or any of the big cage/rack sellers. I'm so sad LOL, but I have learned never to buy from small business/hobby makers again. It's just not worth the potential huge amount of trouble.
The melamine thing is totally my fault for not researching materials beforehand though hahah
