I was surprised by how big this turned out to be! Setting it up was a breeze—took a little while, but the instructions were super clear. Just for scale, that’s my full-grown 2-year-old pitbull next to a 55-inch TV, and let me tell you, it’s huge! Sturdy too, and I like the three doors along with the option to connect the two crates (I haven’t set up the second one yet). I also have a 2-year-old Rottweiler, and they both have plenty of room to stretch out. Just a heads-up: each box weighs over 70 pounds, so that was a bit of a challenge for me living in an upstairs apartment 😂 but it’s worth it! Both parts arrived at the same time, and everything was packaged nicely—no damages at all. I’ll update my review if anything changes, but for now, I highly recommend this!

Sturdy, Beautiful, Great Customer Service
I purchased these kennels for my two dogs (one weighs 28 lbs and the other 35 lbs) to replace our outdated wire ones. Assembly was straightforward, though having two people made it easier. The first kennel was in perfect condition, but the second one had a front door latch that was crooked and a bit damaged, which meant the door didn't close properly—kind of defeats the purpose! I reached out through the email listed in the manual, shared some photos of the working latch from the first kennel next to the broken one, and as promised, I got a response within 24 hours. After providing a few more details, they sent me a replacement door that arrived within a week, and now everything lines up perfectly. My dog is now safely contained! Big thanks to Colby for the quick help! Overall, these kennels look more like nice furniture than the typical ones, and I appreciate the table tops where I can set plants and other decorations. The bars feel much sturdier than the old wire kennels, which were often bent or damaged by my dogs during their occasional fits. I’m hopeful these will last me a long time!

Great kennel for the price
This kennel is pretty heavy and it went together easily. It looks nice and my large dog has plenty of space inside. The locks function well, too. I'm really happy with the quality of this kennel, especially since a lot of those other dog furniture options are pricey and not built as well. This one feels sturdy and made to last. I'm so glad I chose Hawkins Woodshop for this purchase; they've earned my loyalty. Giving it 5 stars for both quality and service.

Great Kennel
This kennel is solid, easy to put together, and looks nice. My large dog has plenty of space inside. The locks function well, too. I'm really impressed with the quality of this kennel—especially since many other similar options are way more expensive but don’t feel as durable. It's clear this one is built to last. I'm happy I chose Hawkins Woodshop for my purchase, and I'm returning for future needs. Five stars for the product and service!

Perfect crate for my senior cat
This is a fantastic one-level crate that my 17-year-old cat enjoys. I've put it by the window, and she loves going in there when she needs some time away from the other cats. It has plenty of space for a litter box, a feeding area, and a little cubby for her to cozy up in. It was easy to assemble and looks nice too. The locks are smooth, and the bars are spaced well enough for her to keep an eye on the outside. I bet a dog would enjoy all the room in here as well!

Sturdy and Stylish Kennels with Great Support
I got these kennels for my two dogs (one weighs 28lbs and the other 35lbs) to swap out our old wire ones. They were pretty easy to put together, though having a second person made it simpler. The first kennel was perfect, but the front door latch on the second one was a bit wonky and damaged, preventing it from closing properly. Not ideal for keeping a dog contained! I reached out via the email in the manual, shared some photos comparing the two latches, and got a response within 24 hours. They were quick to send me a replacement door which arrived within a week, and now it fits just right! Now my dog is secure and can't run around the house anymore. Big thanks to Colby for being so helpful. Overall, these kennels look way nicer than typical kennels—almost like furniture! I like the tabletops for plants and other decor. The bars feel much more durable than the old wire ones that my dogs had a knack for bending. Fingers crossed they'll hold up for years!

Great Space for My Dogs
I have two large German shepherds, and initially, I got a different crate that was 70 inches long, but it was way too small for them at just 6 months old. So, I decided to try this crate instead. It's been about 8 months now, and I have them connected, which gives them lots of space. The crates are solid metal except for the floor, making them sturdy and well made. We have four bowls in there, so each dog has its own food and water—plenty of room for both. Putting it together was straightforward, not like the other one that had a ton of screws. I took my time and finished it in about 2 hours. I did run into a small issue with one of the side locks breaking when the spring came out, but since they're connected, I was able to use the extra door as a workaround. If it breaks again, I found some latches that match the front one online. I would definitely suggest these crates if you’ve got large dogs. They provide great space and are much sturdier than our first choice that looked more like furniture. Plus, they were priced the same. I wish I had chosen these from the start!

Sturdy and Stylish, Great Service
I got these kennels for my two dogs (28lb and 35lb mixes) to swap out for some old wire ones. They were pretty easy to put together, but definitely better with a second person. The first kennel was great, but I had an issue with the second one—the front door latch was crooked and the rod wouldn’t fit properly into the frame, so I couldn't secure it. Not ideal for keeping my dog safe! I shot an email to the address in the manual with some pictures comparing the good latch to the faulty one. True to the manual's promise, I heard back within 24 hours, and after a little more discussion, they sent me a replacement door. It arrived in about a week, and now it fits perfectly! My dog can't escape anymore, which is a relief. Thanks a lot, Colby, for your help! Overall, these kennels look more like furniture than typical kennels, and I love using the tops for displaying plants. The bars feel much sturdier than my old ones, which my dogs managed to bend or destroy during their occasional freakouts. Fingers crossed they hold up for a long time!

Quality kennel
This kennel is heavy, quality and builds pretty easily and quickly. Looks good. My big dog fits inside easily with lots of room. Locks work well. I feel good about the quality of this kennel- and value for the money... Considering the other furniture type dog kennels are massively expensive but not built with quality materials. This kennel is sturdy and built with quality and longevity in mind. So glad I ordered from this company. They have my business from here on out. 5 stars in customer service and quality.
