The Qute is a terrible cage unfortunately- sorry! It looks lovely and a nice piece of design but not suitable for hamsters. It has that vertical tube which is not easy for hamsters for access to the top half, and when they get older wouldn’t be able to manage it at all. Part of the top floor is mesh which can cause foot problems, it is notorious for escapes (the hamster pushes out the bottom bin and gets out that way) but it’s also the wrong dimensions. They need more floor area and less height, as ground dwellers. They also need an 11” wheel which, if it fitted, would fill most of the space.
I had the same problem when we got our first hamster and bought a totally unsuitable cage to fit the only space we had. Very quickly there were problems- the hamster had cage aggression and a bit depressed sometimes then got stuck in a tube (some Syrians grow quite large and need rat sized toys and houses). I did a bit of googling and found the minimum size for a Syrian was 80cm x 50cm floor area and not too tall. And found HC as well (a few years ago now).
I did some creative thinking in our living room and rejigged it to fit the cage. This meant moving a piece of furniture to an upstairs bedroom and swapping it out with a tall bookcase - it was great actually - I ended up with a lot more storage and a lot more floor space. Our cage lived on the floor tucked into a bay window area so it didn’t get kicked. And I then wished I had bought a 100cm cage!
It’s true it’s hard to get cages at the moment but one thing that is available and is a good size for a Syrian is the maxi duna multy on Amazon. It’s 100cm tank style Perspex cage - looks very nice, easy to lift if needed. It would sit nicely on top of a chest of drawers. Doesn’t matter if there’s a bit of overhang at the sides. Or a coffee table. It’s the width you need to find space for. It can be better to spend the money on a table or piece of furniture and get a cheaper cage, so as to rejig the living room if that is where the cage would go.
Another option, if you don’t mind a minor bit of diy- is a detolf - IKEA glass cabinet turned on its side and the door left off. You need to make two lift off lids out of strips of wood with mesh staples to them.
A lot of people have these stood on top of kallax units so you have lots of storage underneath and it makes a very attractive focal point for the room - the cage looks like furniture.
If you Google “hamster detolf “ and click on images you will see some examples. It also gives plenty of space for a hamster so you don’t end up needing to upgrade later. If the first cage is too small the hamster is likely to develop stress behaviours such as bar chewing (and they can even chew through a plastic cage base. And then it gets stressful and means buying another cage.
Have a think about it. I found it turned a problem into a better looking living room!

Also have a think about which room would be best for the cage.
