A thread for ideas for cage stands and stacking solutions. I have a few and I'm sure others have some good tips as well. For one 100cm cage there are a number of options. It could go on top of a chest of drawers or sideboard but if you don't have anything suitable there are all kinds of stand options.
If you just have the one 100cm cage something like the ones below are an option.
There is this Little Friends 100cm cage stands with wheels, to support one cage. It apparently fits most 100cm cages and isn't too expensive.
Little Friends cage stand £33.99
Or a £20 Ikea Lack coffee table (90cm x 55cm)

The Ikea Kallax four cube unit supports a 100cm cage well. I've had a Barney cage and a Plaza cage on one of these. It's only 39cm deep and 77cm wide so although there is a bit of overhang all round, it still supports a 100cm cage well, especially once it's full of bedding and shelves/houses etc to keep it stable. They can be a bit slippery on top so putting something like hemp mat or silicone mat on it keeps the cage from moving on it.
Here's the Savic Plaza on top of one of these Kallax units
For more than one cage or stacking cages, there are not so many options. I've had this console table for a few years which is 112cm long by 40cm deep and tall enough to fit a second Savic Plaza cage on the bottom shelf. Again it's not very deep but supports a Plaza or Barney cage well. I've had two Plazas on it before. You can see Moo's cage on the bottom here
And Pip's Plaza cage is currently on the top of it

It meant I was able to have two Plaza cages without it taking up much space in the room. The downside was that it meant getting on your knees to spot clean, and if anything major needed doing, it's hard work getting the cage off the bottom shelf when it's full - which wasn't needed very often and is doable.
There are quite a few of these type of console tables available on Amazon for between £35 and £50.
Beryl's idea of using Dolly trolleys to put cages on could make a better solution for having two 100cm cages stacked, by getting a console table without a bottom shelf and having the bottom cage on a dolly trolley so it just slides in and out (something I've been thinking about!)
This kind of thing. Finding something the right size and price isn't easy though. This one is a bit narrow but would be ok if near a wall at the back. £53. (See next post).

. Are they standard trolleys or ones that fit cages inside?
