Worth the price!
This create is incredibly sturdy. It was easily assembled (I did need assistance with a second person holding the doors while I secured them - it was incredibly fast) - I encountered zero issues. It arrived early which was great! My Doberman is a lucky girl! Zero regrets - worth the price!

Worth the money
5 stars for the product, Hawkins Woodshop communication and shipping time. It’s great quality especially considering its particle board. Boards are very dense compared to other particle board items. It’s study and nice to look at. It’s a bit small for 100lb dogs. But fits my smaller shepherd and 2 corgis fit perfectly. (I’d say 70lbs is probably the limit depending on height of your dog)The directions are confusing. Like many other reviews say. I had to take it apart and put it back together 4 times. The screws will strip out easily. Which is frustrating when you’re taking apart and putting it together multiple times. Purchasing better quality tools than what is provided is helpful. Pay attention to the boards and directions your installing them.

The Bulldog-Proof Crate Upgrade We Were Looking For
We recently added a new puppy to the family, and now that she’s approaching 6 months old, we knew it was time to upgrade from the plastic training pen. As any bulldog owner knows, these dogs are built like little tanks, so I wanted something sturdy enough to handle the breed, easy to clean, and attractive enough to actually look nice in our home. This crate checked every single box. First, these are absolutely beautiful. They look like real furniture rather than a traditional dog crate, which makes a huge difference in the appearance of the room. The construction is incredibly solid and shockingly heavy, giving me confidence that they’ll stand up to years of use. I also love the practical design. The multiple doors make access easy from any angle, the removable trays simplify cleanup, and the wheels are a game changer. Being able to roll the crate out and clean underneath without breaking my back is worth its weight in gold. I saw several reviews mentioning difficult assembly, misaligned pilot holes, or broken screws, so I was a little nervous going in. Thankfully, I experienced none of those issues. Every hole lined up properly, the hardware fit as intended, and the assembly process was straightforward. One tip: don’t fully tighten your screws until the section is assembled. Leaving everything slightly loose gives you a little wiggle room if needed and makes alignment much easier. I assembled two crates using hand tools because I didn’t want to risk stripping or shearing any screws. Even taking my time (while being constantly “helped” by a curious bulldog puppy), I had both crates completed in about 4.5 hours. The end result was absolutely worth it. My older bulldog loves her new space, the puppy has plenty of room to stretch out comfortably, and I have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and secure while Mom and Dad are at work. If you’re looking for a crate that is strong enough for powerful breeds, beautiful enough to blend into your home, and thoughtfully designed for everyday use, this is it. I could not be happier with this purchase.
