A&E Cage Company Java Wood Tree Stand
The Java Wood Tree Stand emphasizes natural aesthetics and multiple perch levels using durable, sanded hardwood branches that mimic natural perching patterns, making it great for encouraging natural behavior in a freestanding play setting. It ranks as a market leader among mid-priced, natural-wood multi-perch stands by balancing realistic wood texture and stability with a friendlier price point than fully customized manzanita designs, though it won’t match the corrosion resistance of aluminum gyms. Financially it’s a sensible choice for owners who want natural materials and multiple perches without the premium markup of artisan stands.
