I returned the house and will be sending it back. Due to the size of the entrance holes, it is not suitable for Syrian hamsters, as it becomes too tight when their cheek pouches are full (the diameter should be at least 7cm for Syrian hamsters). The base plate was not cut cleanly, leaving slanted gaps between the wall and the plate where the hamster's foot could get stuck. However, the base plate is unnecessary anyway – hamsters should have a thick layer of bedding under the house for digging. The plate gets dirty quickly and cannot be cleaned properly. The worst part, though, is the staples holding the house together. They were not properly attached, with sharp metal ends sticking out of the wood. If the hamster doesn’t injure itself on these, it will certainly happen when it chews on the wood and encounters the staples. It’s a shame – the idea of a multi-chamber house is actually good, but the execution is poor.
