Great kennel, except...
After writing the review below, I found two additional latches that someone whom I won’t name, did not tnink were necessary. They were! Door problem solved!!! Five stars and I may buy the bigger one if the grow bigger than we think they will!!! Looks great, solid construction, big enough for two 45 lb. Dogs (who are very bonded and sleep on top of each other, but still there is room for them both), went together easily and everything lined up first try. However... A few things to know - it weights about 75 pounds assembled, and you definitely need 2 people to do it (we had three). While you could do it sitting on the floor (if you are young enough to get back up off the floor, which we are not!), we cut off the top of the box, laid in on the bed, and assembled it there which also worked well. Took two adults to lift it down when done. Slides well on included feet. Strongly suggest that you use some twine or long twist ties on the doors before assembly or else they will be banging in the head every 2 minutes. And know which door you want to use, and which end and way you want it to open. Now the bad news... While the dogs went in no problems, rearranged the bedding to suit and settle right down, and 4:15 in the morning we were woke by excited puppy kisses and deadly tail beating and they settle down between us on the bed. We realized when we put it together that the slide locks did not hold the doors tightly to the face of the kennel, but we tugged on them and they did not open or release the doors so they appeared secure. It appears though that all those treat puzzles we give them taught them more than we thought! So great crate, nice looking furniture piece, but we will be modifying the latch today!

Great investment for our living space with our new puppy.
We and our dog like this crate. Actually, we love it, and he accepts it. He has plenty of room to lay down and stretch out for rest. The materials are very solid and we like the way the crate looks. It was easy to put together simply following the instructions. Hint, make sure the sections are oriented properly before you tighten everything up. Packaging was very good and the unit arrived a couple of days earlier than expected. I would highly recommend this crate. We bought it for our standard sized Burnedoodle. He is currently five months old and about 35 pounds. I expect that this large size crate will accommodate him into adulthood. Aesthetically the crate is pleasing, although it is a little larger than I anticipated. It truly is big enough to put a flat screen tv on if you wanted to. Simply said this unit is a winner!

High-Quality, Attractive Crate That Was So Easy to Set Up!
I ordered the 42-inch crate for my new puppy and it has exceeded all my expectations. It was sturdy right out of the box, high-quality. Assembly was incredibly easy and straightforward. I had it put together in about 30 minutes (with a drill) and no missing parts or confusing instructions. The design is also very aesthetic looking. It blends beautifully into our home decor without screaming “dog crate”. The clean lines and modern finish make it something I’m actually happy to have out. Beyond that, it’s spacious enough for Sundae to comfortably stand up, turn around, and stretch out in even as she grows. This crate has been a great investment for crate training and giving our puppy a safe, cozy space of her own. I’m confident it will serve us well for years. If you’re looking for a durable, attractive, and practical crate, this one is worth the price. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great!
Love this crate! Our dog bent the bars on her regular crate so we upgraded to this one and it’s great! Took a while to put together, but the instructions were easy to follow. It’s not too heavy to move. She loves it and goes willingly into it. The locks are secure and it’s so nice to have doors on both sides.

I took a chance and I’m so glad I did…
I have two small dogs and you would think that small dogs really don’t do much damage but I am here to tell you otherwise. Especially, if one of them is a puppy and naturally chews, behaving like a terrible two-year old. With that said, my chihuahua and pomchi mix (mom+son) both need to be crated, especially my pomchi puppy because he cannot be trusted whatsoever to be left alone. I’ve spent money on two previous crates that he’s destroyed, so this time I scoured the internet for various styles of dog crates, this time, steel. After reading countless reviews, looking at different styles and types, I came across this steel crate. At first, I was a little hesitant because the reviews are mixed, some good, some bad, much to the same complaint about the holes being misaligned during assembly, etc. After sitting on this specific style for several days, I looked at other options but kept coming back to this one because I like the look of it and its functionality, which is important. I decided to take a chance and bought this crate despite the reviews and I’m here to give you a helpful review should you consider this for yourself. As I’ve mentioned, I have two small dogs, but I personally do not like small sized crates because this just doesn’t work well for dogs with separation anxiety, or anxiety in general. Additionally, small size crates just irritate me because of a lack of space, so in my case, for both dogs, I bought the 42” size. Yes, you read that right - the largest option for two tiny dogs because space is important. Here’s the 411:1. The crate is steel if you didn’t know, and heavy. I expected this, in fact, I actually expected some form of disappointment based on some of negative reviews I’ve seen but I have this product the benefit of doubt. Now, I live in an apartment and it fits perfectly in my limited space.2. I chose the white/natural color because I really wanted a crate that wasn’t the typical black/brown or gray/silver colors. It’s much better looking in person.3. Assembly was actually very easy but it does take 2 people to assemble it because in order for the holes to align accurately with the bolts and screws where needed, a second person needs to hold each panel piece steady to prevent misalignment. Additionally, you don’t want to fully tighten all of bolts/screws, just position them enough to hold the all of the pieces together; then collectively tighten all of the bolts/screws afterwards. Side note, it’s not impossible to assemble by yourself but it will be a little challenging so to make it easier on you, have someone help you.4. The crate is very solid and my puppy cannot chew their way out of this one if he tried. No dog can really. Pros:I love this crate, the size I choose may be naturally big for others but for my two dogs, it gives them space to move around in, and it’s the best one I’ve bought. I love that the bottom floor is structured flooring making it more stable for dogs, and a huge plus for any owner who hates the cheap plastic potty trays for those boring metal crates. That alone was one of the reasons why I bought this one. It is more aesthetically pleasing and looks clean/chic, and I love the 3-door design, as well as the locking mechanisms for the doors that create such ease. And lastly, the adjustable legs is fabulous. Cons:In my honest opinion, there are none. Overall, my experience with this crate is a 10/10. My dogs love their new space. I bought a dog bed that takes up half of one side while keeping a washable pee pad and their food dishes for open access. So, if you come across this crate and find yourself curious or hesitant, take a chance. You’ll be glad you did. I think your only conflict will be choosing the color for you. Haha.
