Sturdy and Stylish with Great Support
I got these kennels for my two dogs (28lbs and 35lbs) to upgrade from some old wire ones, and I'm really happy with them. They were pretty easy to put together, especially with a buddy's help. The first kennel was, but the second one's front door latch was crooked and damaged, which made it impossible to close securely. That’s kind of the whole point of a kennel, right?I reached out to the email listed in the manual, shared some photos of the latches, and I was pleasantly surprised to get a response within a day. After a few more details, they sent out a replacement door, which I got within a week. It fits perfectly now, and my dog can't get out and make a mess anymore! Big thanks to Colby for being so helpful.Overall, these kennels look more like furniture than just kennels, and I love that I can use the tops to display some plants. They feel sturdier than the old wire ones, which both dogs had managed to bend up. I hope these last for a long time!

This thing is way larger than I expected! I'm really happy with it. Putting it together took a bit, but the instructions were easy to follow. For size reference, there's a full-grown 2-year-old pitbull and a 55-inch TV in the pictures, and it is huge! It's sturdy, and I love that it has three doors and both crates can connect (I haven’t hooked up the second crate yet). I also have a 2-year-old Rottweiler, and they both enjoy it—there's so much space for them! Just a heads up, each box weighs over 70 pounds, so keep that in mind if you go for this size. I live on the second floor, so getting it up there was a bit of a challenge 😂 but worth it! Both crates arrived at the same time, perfectly packaged with no damages. If anything changes, I'll update my review, but for now, I highly recommend it!

Great kennel choice
This kennel is solid and easy to assemble. It looks nice and my large dog has plenty of space inside. The locks function well, too. I'm really pleased with the quality of this kennel—especially compared to other pricey options out there that aren't built as well. It's clear this is made to last, and I'm happy I chose Hawkins Woodshop. They’ve earned my loyalty for future purchases. 5 stars for both the product and the service!

Perfect for my aging cat
I got this one-level crate for my 17-year-old cat, and she really enjoys it. I set it up near a window, and she loves going in there whenever she needs some alone time from the other cats. It has plenty of space for a litter box, some food, and a cozy little spot for her to chill. Assembly was a breeze, and it looks nice in my living room. The locks work smoothly, and the bars are spaced well enough that she can still see outside. I'm sure a dog would appreciate the space, too.

Great for My Dogs!
This is the perfect size for my pitbull and rottweiler. It's sturdy and offers plenty of space for them. I added a metal floor tray because my rottie likes to dig and the base is plywood. The doors are solid and fit together nicely. It took a bit to put together, but the instructions were easy to follow.

Great Crate for Large Dogs
I have two big German shepherds and initially got a crate that was 70 inches long, which turned out to be way too small for them when they were just 6 months old. So, I switched to this one, and it's perfect for them! I've had these crates for about 8 months now, and they’re connected. Made of solid metal except for the floor, they feel sturdy and well-made. We have four bowls inside, so each dog has its own food and water—there’s more than enough space for that and for my two fully grown shepherds. Putting it together was a breeze; not too many screws like the last one I had, so it took me about two hours, but I wasn't rushing. I did have a small issue with one of the side locks where the spring came out, causing the latch to stay open. Thankfully, since I joined the crates, I had another door I could use. If that latch breaks again, I've found replacements similar to the front latch available online, so I can easily upgrade it. I highly recommend these crates if you have large dogs. They've got a lot of space and feel sturdy. This was a much better choice than our first pick that looked more like furniture, and both were the same price. I just wish I had gone with these right from the start!

Great kennel!
This kennel is quite heavy but very well made. It was easy to assemble and looks nice. My large dog fits comfortably with plenty of space. The locks function perfectly. I'm pleased with the quality of this kennel, especially since other furniture-style dog kennels can be so pricey and not as durable. This one feels sturdy and built to last. I'm happy I chose Hawkins Woodshop for this purchase. They've earned my loyalty moving forward. 5 stars for customer service and quality!
