Is there room underneath the second level for them to play? Can I use the metal grated sides and leave off the very top?

Yes! We have never put the top on our cage. Luckily, we have not had any escapees. That was the main selling point for me on this cage. Very interactive.

There is no second level unless you buy 2. There is a divider to make separate sides. Bottom is a green canvas type fabric. As far as leaving the top off, yes. It is not permanently affixed in anyway. It also folds up so you could have partially uncovered

It is all one level, just has a divider with ramp. Yes you can leave the top off. We leave ours on so our cat doesn't get any ideas.

We also have never used the cover. Our dog has not been that interested in them. When he does wander in my daughter's room he will go toward the cage, bark once to let them know he is still in charge, and leave. Your experience with pets may vary.

Mine takes up about 5ft across and about 5ft from the floor to the top but it can be adjusted. None of the individual play areas are attached. The sticks only go on some parts and you can make them go strait across or up and down higher.

We play it on carpeted flooring all the time. No issues. The legs give it plenty of clearance.

To have a safe playing zone, u should have somewhere between 20' deep and and 25' wide. That would be a safe play area, the set itself does not take up that much space though!

You may have to place a hook or nail in back of it if you do not plan to play it. I don't see why you couldn't.

I put foam tiles ( skip hop playspot) under the base. I don't think that the feet would scratch the floor, but I'm more concerned with our uneven floor and possible noise that th metal feet would make, so I put those tiles down

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to stack another set on top. All 3 levels are interchangeable, the "feet" are the same.

Not that much room. They would have to lay flat not stand upright. Maybe can fit about 20 games/dvds

Not unless you cut notches out of the rubber. The top is solid but the under with has space but a lip all around the edges

No, I don't think there is more room. Some of the pieces are rather large, and so it it is actually difficult to close the lid when putting in the pieces after playing.

Yes they can go from one level to another. There is a cutout for them to go up and down. The same cutout that is in the second level of the two level unit

You can put additional boxes on the top as long as they are not too heavy. i put a thin piece of plywood on top just to make sure. There is a metal grid which supports the top.

I called Graco to find out, and they said unfortunately this model doesn't allow for pad to be on the upper section. They also said there's no additional piece that can be purchased to create that level. However, the rep did say that even on the playards with the upper level, the weight limit is still 15 pounds, so that may not even be useful in this playard anyway since the bassinet also goes to 15 pounds (Btw, if you call they will give you a rebate in case you need to purchase to another playard to accommodate.)

There is a solid top that slides on and a grate with bars above that. You could leave the solid plate out. I'm going to try that out myself.

No. The bottom section is a play or storage area. It's too low for a bed. We tried a toddler bed but it's too dark and small

I just noticed the top parts come out, giving you a little more than half an inch to nest the next level, so, sorry, my former answer was wrong. They do appear to be stackable.

The metal Take-n-play Thomas trains would fit. The wooden ones are too tall.
