Clean looking with the white coating. SUCH easy connecting with the grids, simply snap together! Also, I make a huge cage out of multiple XLs and being able to use the grids and connectors so easily allowed for neat configurations. :D Very sturdy too! :)

<p>They are so easy to put together. We are not practical people at all, and these were so easy for us. They are sturdy, and they look really good too.</p>
