Hi! Did you mean the fenced off area or the platform? Anyway the fenced off area can be a good idea so you can have low substrate in the area the wheel is in (so having it at the end means the rest of the cage can have deep substrate). For platforms I think the tall Trixie one is good - it stands about 21cm tall so it's a good height for standing over deeper substrate. I bought one for Charlie's cage and was quite impressed with it, but haven't used it yet - I solved the problem I wanted it for and the cage is quite fully already, but I still plan to use it at some point. The legs just screw into the base. I've seen them in a few tanks and in duna tanks - it would provide head cover (ie something to hide under) as they need that in an open tank sometimes where there are no shelves.
I always put these natural wood items in the freezer for a couple of days before using them as I'm a bit cautious about anything having woodworm or other little things living in them. I don't think everyone does that though - it's just something that gives me peace of mind

I didn't link it on the other thread as it's too tall to stand a wheel on for a bin cage. It would need access to get to the top - a little bridge or a bendy bridge ramp.
