If you have a Home Depot near you, they have several different sizes of melamine already cut. You might find a size you like without much cutting. The cage in the picture is 36" wide x 16" deep x 17" high. The top and bottom did not have to be cut. The sides were one piece like the top cut in just about half. the back was another piece with very little cut off. The whole thing you see in the picture cost about $70. I am no proffessional at all, and found it is pretty easy to do. I already had most of the tools I needed, and I have access to a table saw, but Home Depot will also cut for you. They are not perfect, but they will cut for you. Good Luck? Derek
