How easy is this cage to put together and do you need a seed skirt?

I had no trouble putting the cage together, just one screwdriver needed. I do not use a seed skirt because I have them on a table, but if you want to use the stand you may want the skirt.

Please understand I'm no expert nor do I have a lot of experience and I think I made some errors. That being said, I did manage it by myself. I think a seed skirt would be a good idea

pretty easy, instructions are awful though. I had to take it apart twice and re-do it when I started putting it together inside out, then upside down. I personally don't use seed skirts, and my conure isn't too messy. I really like the cage though overall.

I purchased this wonderful large cage for my spoiled cockatiel. I thought it was very easy to put together. My 10 year old daughter had to help me put it up on the stand, though because it's large and bulky. The only issue I had was something very minor with assembling the stand. If you get the cage, when putting the stand together, make sure you put the notches from the upper part of the stand on the inside. It should be a natural fit. I had put it backwards, with notches outside and that is wrong. It's an easy fix, however, if you goof. As far as a seed skirt, I don't have one, and some seed does end up on the floor from my bird who likes to fling it around. It doesn't bother me as I just vacuum it up every few days. The cage is extremely easy to clean too! I hope this helps.

It comes in a box and you will have to assemble. It is easy though. Should take 30 min and a nice open area on the floor.

You have to assemble it. It does not take a lot of time and directions are straightforward.

Yes. It is very simple to put together and take apart. Once you put it together it is a free standing metal cage and then you put the wood around it. All you have to do is take the wood covering off and then take the metal crate apart. After you have assembled it for the first time, the whole process takes literally less than 5 minutes. P.S. the dimensions are such that any pet store you go to has a soft mat for the bottom of the cage.

Its pretty easy, just follow the assembly instruction. The unit comes in small pieces, prepare to spend some time to put it together. Make sure it in a very light room otherwise you will need to put some lighting inside. I get a set from Lowes and put it in. Unfortunately I did it after i had it up.

Hello Victor: If I recall, the cage came in two very large, but thin boxes. I don't remember the dimensions of the boxes but I would guess at about 3 feet or four feet square shaped, and probably 12 inches thick. If you are familiar with bird cages it was easy to put together, but one of the bottom trays on mine was slightly bent and damaged. I did not put the play top on because I wanted the extra sunlight to be able to come through the top part of the cage. My biggest complaint about the cage is that there are no openings on the back side of the cage. And there are only side openings on one side for the food dishes.

This cage is perfect for anything. Keeps all the seeds in the cage & easy to clean.

This is not difficult to assemble. Will take 5-10 min depending on how handy you are.

I bought the Sheer Guard Bird Cage Skirt - Super Large (several different vendors on Amazon sell this product in various colors- I bought black) based on the circumference of the cage (103 inches). It fits this cage nicely and does help keep seed from being tossed out of the cage if you put it at the level of the seed cups (mine are on the bottom of the cage), however, it is one piece and because of this, it will twist up a bit when putting it on the cage and spill the collected seed when taking it off. ( I use my vacuum cleaner attachment wand to clean it out first).

I don't think you can set it up without the stand. The way the cage is made it all connects together. I have 2 of them at my house and love them. My birds like to be included in everything and it is very easy to move them from room to room on my main floor. Without the seed catcher it is 30 x30 , not sure of the height, I think it might be 34 or 36. That is inside, not including the play stand on top.

It's easy, just put the sides and ends into the corner pieces and you are done. You don't even need to put the long spikes in, unless you want to. They do not move after you put yourmedium into them. Very good instructions come with the kit too. Happy Gardening, I have 5 of them, and 5 earth boxes.

I have this one and another large cage. I have a pair of tiles in it. They like all the room but have a hard time climbing. I don't like the seed guard, it doesn't work very well. I highly recommend the Prevue flight cage. It's just a little bigger and much better but it doesn't have the play gym on top

Hi Jeff,The skirt works well - not perfect - but much better than our previous cage without a skirt. Very easy to clean with our vacuum cleaner attatchment. So yes, it catches nearly all the seeds and mess.Baby, our African Grey, loves the cage and we do too.Richard

Took me maybe 20 minutes to put together. Once it is all put together the first time, it comes apart in pieces for easy transport. I recently moved, and it comes apart into three pieces: the top with the arms/hooks, mid piece, and bottom with the base/legs. Very lightweight.

Great cage. Ramps are removable. Solid mesh sides. Easy cleaning. The front has (2) large tension doors. I would recommend. Be careful putting together. The lower drawer support has cheap welds

The box it comes in is pretty easy to manuever. You will need 2 people to put it together.

When it comes in you will need to put it together. Easy enough by just sliding pieces into place. Then you can add your soil and seeds as you wish. This is a very simple way to start gardening. Good Luck!
