Cage set up looks great,

I agree about the wood cubes attached by string - unless the string is sisal rope? Sisal is ok to chew. The hanging bridge is iffy due to the gaps between the log bits. But you could just stick cardboard on top of it. I actually think they're not keen on swinging bridges that are too high up, unless it actually leads somewhere.

My only other comment is the lovely long thing with coloured wicker balls on. It all looks to be safe materials but I'd be slightly concerned a hamster might garotte themself on it! From the level near it or by falling on it from above and getting a leg caught. It might be better placed either hanging down (eg from top to bottom) - or as it is now but at one end so it's up against the cage bars rather than in mid air.
