Red face Buying a Table/ Table maker

Hi was just wondering if anyone on here makes or can recommend somewhere to purchase one or someone who makes them to sell? I know it will be cheaper to make but hubby works 7 nights a week so doesn't really have to time and I'm totally useless so will DEFFO be buying one ready made lol
I found some who can make me a 4ft x 2ft one on stand for 59.99 and 9.95 delivery......is this reasonable?
Thanks in advance x

There was one I was looking at on Ebay, it's 5ftx3ft and includes a decent hide at one end (the run area is 4ft by 3ft). That is just over £70inc delivery so appears to be a better deal. Item 140397213712.
However, I had a few days off work and it was sunny so ended up making my own.

I used a very tall shelving unit reinforced with batons underneath and waterproofed with a bit of pond liner. The shelves made a nice little hide too. I have dogs so I had to make a lid for it to make sure that there were no nasty accidents. I split up an old dog playpen and made hinges and it seems to work very well T

Hi, I have very little diy skill and my OH is more useless (especially as golf takes priority!) but I managed to make my own out of an Ikea bookcase on a plywood base mounted on an Argos printer trolley. All made and on wheels for around £50. I have put gravel trays from the garden centre in the bottom. And as a bonus - it matches my dining room furniture and I enjoyed the challenge!

I have seen the rabbit cage set ups and they look good for moving inside and outside if you dont have a secure outdoor enclosure.
