I personally wouldn't use that for a hamster.
They like to find a corner to use as their wee spot and it would rot the would, plus the smell would never come out.
I've always used the plastic cages as they're easier to clean.

We use this one, he sleeps underneath buried in sawdust and he pees in the corner opposite. We have a wheel that we attached to the side, we have him out in a ball for 4 hours an evening too. He's 13 months now, lovely little soul.

Try this one: Savic Hamster Heaven 80 Cage | Great deals at zooplus!
Don't use wood - it soaks up wee and stinks/grows mould, and also hamsters can chew through it in a couple of weeks!
