NOLA Chins
Guest
I don't dislike the FN 142, nor am I in love with the alternative, but there are some 'shortcomings' which should not be overlooked.
1. No front to back shelves because of the big doors.
2. The big doors can make containing chins who want out interesting.
3. Pans must be made. They fit so-so and are often bent in shipping.
4. The pans leave a potentially dangerous gap around the sides. They do not fit flush to the bars.
5. Shelves must be knotched to fit the corners.
6. No drop-in grids available. You are locked in to bedding or liners unless you can make your own.
7. 1x5 bar spacing makes it more difficult to hang stuff securely and is potentially dangerous to a wall surfing chin.
8. Same spacing makes it difficult to securely mount waterbottles at the proper height.
9. Doors don't always latch securely unless you are careful.
10. Finish is so-so quality
11. Made of cheap foreign steel.
12. Design was ripped off from Guy at QC years ago.
None of these are deal breakers, just points to consider.
