Surprised by the quality!
I’d rate this around 3-4 stars because I had a couple of minor issues, but I was really impressed with how quickly Hawkins Woodshop helped me out. The outlet didn’t fit in the hole, and there was a tiny dent on one of the front panels. Make sure you stick to the step-by-step install sheet—it makes assembly pretty straightforward. Just take your time with it! Overall, I’m happy with this piece; it looks great and is more solid than I anticipated!

Going Strong After 2 Years!
We've had this crate for almost two years now, and it's been great for us. It's just the right size for our two pitbulls and definitely looks nicer than a standard crate. We even use it as a TV stand! Just a heads-up: if you’ve got escape artist dogs, this might not be the best choice. The latches could be better, and a determined pup might get through the bars. Our girls are comfy in theirs and haven’t tried to escape, but I can see it being an issue for some. Also, if your dogs have accidents, keep in mind that the bottom is just wood with no removable tray. Overall, we're happy with this purchase!

Great crate for my pup!
This is such a nice crate for my little Corgi mix! It's just the right size for him, and the design is super cute. I appreciate the wheels on the bottom, which make it easy to move around the house. If you're handy, putting it together might be a breeze, but for someone like me, it was a bit tricky. I ended up with extra screws and could have used a couple more hands. I managed to get it set up, though I’m not sure it’s put together perfectly. It works well enough, and everyone who sees it compliments how adorable and practical it is. My pup enjoys being able to see us from all sides, plus there's good airflow and it's secure. Honestly, it's the best purchase I’ve made for him!

Tons of Space!
I have two Shih-Poo puppies, and they have plenty of room to stretch out and sleep comfortably on their backs. The price point is fantastic given the size and build of the cage. It was easy to put together and feels sturdy. I’m confident the pups are safe inside since it’s made so well. Plus, it fits nicely with our modern ranch style living room.

Two Years and Still Happy!
We're almost at the two-year mark with this crate, and it’s been great for us. It’s spacious enough for our two pit bulls and looks a lot nicer than a standard crate. We even use it as a TV stand! Just a heads up, if you have dogs that are escape artists, this might not be the best choice. The latches aren’t the most secure, and a determined pup could possibly bend the bars. Our girls are content in their crates and haven’t tried to escape, but I can see how some dogs might. Also, as others have pointed out, if your pups have accidents in their crates, this might not work for you since the bottom is just wood without a tray. Overall, we’re really pleased with this purchase!

Perfect for My Pup
I found this crate to be a great solution for my little buddy! I have a Corgi mix and the small size is just right for him. The design is really nice; those wheels on the bottom are a game changer since I can easily move it around the house. If you’re good with tools, assembling it might be a breeze, but for someone like me, it was a bit of a challenge. I had some leftover screws and could have used more hands. I got it together, but I can't guarantee it’s completely. It’s doing its job without any issues, and I often get compliments on how cute and functional it looks. My pup loves being able to see the family from all angles with good airflow, plus it feels secure. The best money I've spent on a pet crate!

Sturdy and attractive
I have been very pleased with this purchase.. The materials seem to be solid and are in good shape with one minor exception noted below. It took me about 45 minutes to assemble the crate using the picture directions. My 55 pound dog is already crate trained so I can not speak to security if you have an escape artist or crate averse dog, but it seems at least as sturdy as my traditional metal crate. I put the tray inside the crate to make the bottom solid which also helps with weight distribution. Pros:-Quality, heavy wood and side metal panels-More attractive than metal crates-Comes with lockable wheels and interchangeable adjustable feet-2 doors helps with placement options-Has tray that can be easily removed and cleaned instead of a wooden bottomCons:-The metal grid bottom has a slightly bent rod-Adjustable feet are hard plastic which will scratch wood floors (use pads to protect floors)

Well built
My dog tore his ccl and had to be confined for 3 mos except when on a leash or constantly supervised. This is a nice kennel, well built and roomy.

Bought a kennel for our corgi
We're getting a corgi in 1.5 months and I wanted something nicer then a basic wire kennel for our home. So I stumbled across this and read the reviews. It looked good bought it and it arrived within a few days. I ended up buying the 38 inch version and it's easy to put together but heavy and sturdy. I like the mat fits perfectly in it and there's 2 doors for opening the kennel, the wooden backboard is nice so I don't have to worry about pee and fur on my wall when we get our pup. Overall really happy with this and worth the money. Also I have mine set up with the feet but it also comes with wheels that are lockable. Color is also true to description.

Nice and more sturdy than expected!
I would give 3-4 stars but the support I received and the outcome was so quick and fair I can’t complain too much. The outlet did not fit in the precut hole and there was a very small dent on one of the front panels. I will also say this, follow the step by step install sheet and this is easy to put together. You must follow it to a T! There are no mistakes and it was easy, just time consuming. This is a really pretty and sturdy piece! Much nicer than I expected!
