Are you in the Uk? If so then the Alaska cage may be a good option instead - works out cheaper than making a bin cage sometimes and has a nice big front openinng door - good for access and interaction with the hamster.
Assume this is for a Syrian hamster?

If you're in the US - the Prevue cage is good and very similar

Thank you for your reply Serendipity!
Yes, it is for a Syrian, I also have not heard of hamsters chewing their way out so maybe it is unlikely. I was looking at getting the Whicks 145L storage box but as it is £35 I may be better going for the Alaska cage as you said!
Where was the 146L bin from that you mentioned out of interest? The only worry I had with a wire cage is a lack of burrowing room, do you think this would be a big issue?
Appreciate the help!
