A solid choice for furniture storage
It took a bit to arrive, but we expected that and ordered ahead of time. We got the 100cm size. The packaging was great for flat-pack furniture. The instructions were easy to follow, and I managed to put it together without any problems in about an hour. Having an extra set of hands would speed things up, though. Each part and screw is labeled, which is super handy. The kit even comes with a screwdriver and the tools needed, so you don't have to look for anything else. The crate feels sturdy and hefty, so it might take two people to move it. It looks nice and more like real furniture instead of a typical crate, which was a must for us. The sliding door operates smoothly, and the latch works perfectly. It opens from both the front and the left side. I'm happy with the quality; I can't complain. It's just like the picture, though a tad darker on top. I'd say it exceeded what I was expecting. I would recommend it. It's a solid value for what you get.

Great upgrade from normal crates
My little princess really likes this penthouse crate. It took a bit to put together, but I think it was worth it. The material feels solid and looks nice. The sliding door makes some noise, which can annoy my dog since she's a bit jumpy. I do wish the latch on the door was stronger, and having a better way to lock it would be nice, too. I'm just waiting for the day she figures out how to open it. At least there's a latch at the bottom to keep the door from sliding open completely, which should help.

Stylish and sturdy dog crate
I’m so happy with this crate! It’s spacious enough for my three small dogs and looks really nice. The tall, modern design is just what I wanted. I’d recommend it! As for putting it together, it’s pretty simple if you have a screwdriver (a drill makes it easier). Even with my limited skills and ADHD, I managed, but it did take me a little while. Overall, it’s GORGEOUS! Worth the buy—you won’t regret it!

Super produit ! Il est bien emballé et le montage était simple grâce au mode d'emploi clair et aux sachets de pièces numérotés. Une fois installé, je suis rentrée à quatre pattes, et ma chienne m’a suivie tout de suite. Après un gros câlin, j’en suis sortie, et depuis, ma chienne adore sa nouvelle maison avec un matelas solide et confortable à l’intérieur.

Great Crate for My Pup!
This crate is solid and really well made. My little dog has more than enough space for his time in there. Just a heads up, he figured out how to nudge the barn door open, so keep that in mind. But honestly, I’d buy this again if I needed another kennel.

Great looking crate
I wanted a dog crate that looked like furniture as I would be keeping it in my dining room/living room area. Initially I wanted one with drawers, but it turned out that I was going to get to pick up my rescue dog about a week earlier than I thought, so I ordered this as it was scheduled to come the day before I was going to pick up my dog and none of the crates with drawers I was looking at would come in time. Unfortunately, it then got delayed by several days (can't fault the product for that, maybe Hawkins Woodshop). So, I do wish I just ordered one with the drawer even though I wouldn't get it before I got my dog since that was the case with this anyway. I "solved" the organization issue that caused by buying a couple baskets that I put on top of the crate to hold my dog's things, they just aren't out of sight when there are guests as I had wanted. Still, it looks like furniture, and not just a cage. I have friends or family over nearly every week. I've had multiple guests comment on how good it looks, and some who are dog owners are considering buying this crate, or one like it, after seeing mine. Be careful when putting it together. The particle board isn't as strong/thick as I expected. When putting one of the pegs into its hole, I used a hammer (like I've found helpful when putting ikea furniture together) and it pushed it all the way through, even though I just used a gentle tap with the hammer. I took the piece of particle board it ripped out and repaired it as best I could with Gorilla Glue. I thought it was going to look terrible, but it is hidden enough that, even when you look for it, it is hard to tell I needed to do a repair. Still, if you are careful and just insert the pegs into their holes with your fingers you will be fine (again, do not use a hammer). I have only had it for about 2 months, so it is hard to judge durability yet, but it seems to be fine. It works as it should and keeps my dog in when he needs to be in his crate (and he will try to get out). I like that there are two doors. I feed him in his crate, so it is nice to have one for him to enter and exit the crate, and another for his food bowl.

Perfect but had trouble w the lock hinge. The grey is not grey!
Good size for a 15lb dog (roomy for a small terrier mix)Water resistantScratch resistant so farWell made and sturdyDecent locks that could likely be replaced if neededEasy to clean everything but the sliding door might be difficult to cleanCame as picturedWorth the price overallIt’s the perfect kennel for me! I got the kennel for my pup to grow into so it’s a little big right now but her bed fits great! It is not grey! The product photo shows a light grey but, trust the photos in the comments! It is more like a rustic grey brown. It matches my room perfectly. If you walked in my room you would probably think the room is a deep cool brown, no red or warm tones. Assembly was easy we build it same day. Couldn’t be more than 3 hours depending on how easy it is for you to assemble most things. (Sounds like a lot but times flies when your focused on a “big” project like this) The only issue we had was with the lock hinge on the sliding door. The hinges pre designated holes were the slightest bit too low I think and once we got the sliding door on we noticed the hinge was crooked and a little out of place so we couldn’t actually lock it. We unscrewed the hinge and fit it to the lock and then re screwed them in and it’s great. Overall a great product so far. I’m not the best at measuring but hopefully the pictures give you a good real life estimate of the size. It came with plenty of extra parts and even a really cool magnetic screwdriver that I’ll definitely be keeping forever. My dog has gotten bigger now and has occasionally scratched at the inside and it’s still in good condition. She did pee inside it (we don’t want her doing that but we didn’t realize she had to go and used it to go pee in the middle of the night. We have coyotes so we don’t really let her out to pee by herself.) thankfully? We have lots of blankets in there for her so that soaked it all up. Without any bedding the pee probably would have gotten into the crack for the sliding door and would have been hell to clean, if not stayed there forever. I think even a puppy pad would risk this, just something to consider if you do happen to be training your dog to pee in there. I have been using this nonstop without a coaster and it is holding up amazingly. No rings and there’s no raising of wood that you’ll see on certain woods. Overall good water resistance and scratch resistance.

It’s a perfect piece of furniture. Looks beautiful.
Works great for my Boston Terrier. Love the locking system and sliding door. Makes a great end table and slides easily with the castors. Daisy likes to be able to see the whole living area and often climbs in to take a nap. I
