600 chip bird cage (1 Viewer)

[GetUrShineBox]

Anyone recently buy a good 600 chip birdcage? It’s really for only 400 chips so if you have a good alternative let me know as well.
Some reviews on Amazon are not so great.
It’s for a friend so not looking to spend much.
Thanks

Can't go wrong with Versa. Really durable case. https://www.discountpokershop.com/v...VVpMxQRYEQoQGWlZ6XqBtRXTF1SCIlEgaAkwEEALw_wcB

I have one of these and I like it a lot. Comes with some nice Chipco trays too.

Second this suggestion. If you can wait, sometimes Amazon will have it on sale. I got mine for around $31.

This is the way to go!

I have a bunch. A couple were “cracked” but nothing to get frustrated about IMO. I count on most of these types of things being broken ha. Also, I’m not transporting these anywhere. Simply for storage.

I’ve had my eye on this one for a while now, but haven’t pulled the trigger because it’s a bit pricey. No screws on the bottom, so the designs seems much more robust than any of the others I’ve seen. I don’t have any experience with these though, so I can’t really vouch for it, but I’d bet it’s the good stuff

I just ordered a couple of those from Bank Supplies. (the 2 screws in the T-handle design of other birdcages annoyed me too)
I'll add some pics and impressions when I receive it...hopefully the extra expense is justified!

Well, unfortunately I've gotta say that the Bank Supplies 6 tray birdcage was a nope for me. I'm returning them.

To their credit, the birdcages were very sturdy and looked great...but they had a major flaw in them that was a deal breaker for me. I put 6 chipco racks with 39mm Jack Cincy Paulsons in it and the cover of the birdcage rested on the top row of chips because it wasn't tall enough to reach the base.

I reported the issue to Bank Supplies and they basically told me their customer's like a snug fit on top, most don't fill the birdcage up all the way, I was only the 2nd complaint they'd received, and they weren't going to change the design because the current construction allowed them to more efficiently use the sheets of polycarb in manufacturing. I totally understand all that reasoning...but none of it does anything towards resolving my reported issue so I took them up on their return offer. Note: 36mm tourney Paulsons in Chipco racks fit into the birdcage just fine.

If you want to rescue this you can always glue something onto the base that will make up the height difference, but I can see how that might just be a big pain in the ass.

Wow that’s no good at all! Thanks for posting this

Yeah, I'd thought about that...I'm decently handy and MacGuyver stuff like this all the time. But considering how much more expensive these Bank Supplies birdcages are I just felt like this was such a glaring issue that should not exist in a product with that kind of price premium.

I got a great 400 chip birdcage from @ABC Gifts and Awards. Not sure if they still have them but they are sturdier than an Amazon birdcage I had previously.

You could do Matsui racks. If I’m remembering correctly, the Bank Supply cages are wide enough and are some of the only that can fit 44mm racks.

Thanks for the heads up on the bank supplies model! I'm looking for a 600 capacity birdcage for a cash set and was looking into this one. Will avoid, that's a fatal design flaw and not a "preference" issue. It should accommodate a pretty standard 600 chip load without lift like that.

There are 600 chip acrylic boxes with fold out lids.
