Indoor guinea pig cage

Suitable for two piggies. Is there a go-to cage that is best value and best made?

(This is a request for my sister. I have no knowledge of piggies.)

    http://www.guineapigcages.com/ is a good resource - it gives instructions for a "C&C cage" but if that's not suitable, they give recommendations on the size of cages and info on standard cages too

    zooplus are good for cages, 120x60 is the minimum for a pair of piggies although the bigger the better (despite what some pet shops say!) At the moment I have 3 piggies in two 120cm cages that are connected in the middle, and raised up on some cheap ikea tables, theres lots of room for running about ect, c and c are great but i also have 3 cats so commercial cages are better for me.
    If you do your research you can get them a great cage, some of the homemade c and c ones are amazing :)
