Wow... Great quality for a fairly decent price!
Wow... Why have I been wasting my money on other flimsy folding cages for literally years... We've had every kind of dog you can imagine from Jack Russells to Great Danes and if you know anything about Jack Russells, I'm sure you know their ability to escape any cage at any cost! This cage should be the industry standard when it comes to dog cages. I purchased the [54/48/38 inch Heavy Duty], (the biggest one available) and it came exceptionally fast (3 days early) and wasn't very difficult to put together. One of the plastic pans I received had a small little crack/split in the corner (about 1/2 inch), but I don't think that is going to ever get worse or pose a problem so it's not that big of a deal for me. My only gripe is that they didn't label which piece is which, and 3 pieces are almost identical. The instructions are fairly vague and being the "I don't need instructions" kind of man, looking at the very simple instructions, I kind of winged it and found out the hard way that there is a wrong way to put this thing together. My only suggestion would be for the manufacturer to place a sticker on the "Right Front of Front Panel" piece or pointed out in the instructions how to distinguish that piece specifically. The image on the instructions shows the leftmost bottom frame (of the Right Front of Front Panel) being slightly thinner, however, it is extremely unlikely that an average consumer would notice the minor detail. Both of the "Rear Panel's" look almost identical to the Right Front of Front Panel. You'll know you did it right if the plastic pans slide right into the slot under the cage from the front of the cage as the instructions show! Took me a few minutes to realize why the pan on the right side of the cage wouldn't go in from the front, I wedged it under from the side and then started my investigation as to why it doesn't slide in from the front, as Step 8's image shows lmfao! Overall it isn't rocket science folks, it's a bolt here and a nut there and bam you got yourself a great-quality cage. I threw it together in maybe 30 - 45 minutes (I would highly recommend having some assistance, as it is a huge cage, and it doesn't really stand up by itself while you move around from the front to the back to the side to and then to the other side to connect all the bolts. The quality is unprecedented and I am extremely happy with this purchase, so much so, I took the time to write this review. I am unsure why they would put two doors that open from the top being that it is such a huge cage, it's not likely you're going to put your animal in from the top and drop them three feet down to the bottom. One side note, you can thank me later... Go to Wal-Mart or Lowes or somewhere and get yourself a package of those tiny little rubber bumpers, or felt feet (the kind that you use on chairs for hardwood floors). The cage doors (front and both top doors) rattle when the animals move, even while the wheels are locked. The first night, my Great Dane was extremely active and kept getting up and repositioning herself and that cage rattled so much and so loud, it was extremely frustrating and obnoxious. Other than that, I love this cage and will purchase another one from this company/manufacturer, if I ever need another cage. I would also recommend finding a dog bed or some sort of padding for the interior, as the bottom is metal, and I'm sure is extremely uncomfortable if the dogs had to lay on it without some sort of cushioning. I wish the company would make or sell custom-fit padding/dog beds that fit the inside dimensions for their great quality cage, they could make or sell them as a bundle and it would save the consumer the hassle of trying to find something that fits perfectly. Thankfully, we had a large washable dog bed that was sitting on the floor and fit almost perfectly. There's about 2 inches on every side of the inside of the cage that isn't covered by the bed, so we threw a few blankets on top of the bed for the 3 dogs that we put in the cage. They all have plenty of room to sprawl out and move around.

Great, durable kennel
This kennel was exactly what we needed! We needed a kennel big enough for our cane Corso that he will still fit when he is fully grown, and that he would have enough room to move around in. This kennel is exactly that, and we can move it around if needed because of the wheels. The only thing I would change is maybe more sturdy locks, but other than that it is perfect. Sturdy/heavy duty, perfect size with room to move around, and fairly easy to build.

Strong and Spacious
This dog crate is good quality. It's sturdy, easy to put together, and provides plenty of space for my dog. The materials feel durable, and the locking system works perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Very durable!
I bought the 48 inch wire with divider kennel for my two beagles. It was easy to put together and very durable. It looks so much nicer than those typical wire kennels you get from tractor supply. I love that you can have it on wheels or on the floor. Having it on wheels makes it easier to clean around. It’s nice that they do not have access to chew on the black tray. So far the latches have held up nicely. I find this kennel to be much safer than others I’ve had. I would suggest putting a bed or some type of mat down so your dogs paws don’t get caught in the grate if they are little. I definitely think this kennel is worth the money. I’ve attached a picture to show the size of my dogs. The beagle on the left is a standard size beagle. The one on the right is nearly half the size of a standard beagle. They both fit comfortably.

Excellent for our German Shepherd’s recovery from surgeries
Wow! Talk about the perfect grate for a German Shepherd - this is it! Of course we had purchased a crate for her when she was younger, yet she was too big for it now that we needed it for her recovery from back leg knee surgery. She will also have 2 hip replacements because she has hip dysplasia. Most crates open on one end and have a fixed roof. This crate has a roof that you can open to reach inside. We needed that to help her out of the crate by using a sling under her rear end to help her walk because she could only toe tap using her left hind leg. Also with having the door in the middle meant it was easier for her to get inside and curl up on her pillow. It was easy to put together and even though we didn’t attach the wheels, having them on would make it so easy to move around! We kept them off because we didn’t want to add any more height to the crate for her to have to step over. We attached the dog door panels to the crate with zip ties to make a “yard” for her to walk around in. This thing is solid! After assembly, there is no movement in the crate at all. There are 2 locks to secure the door and the lid! She has plenty of room to move around and she’s 75 lbs. The one thing that I always do in dog crates and bird cages is to remove the bottom grating! That’s not easy on their paws and could possibly hurt their paws, or if their collar is not removed before they are placed in the crate, the tags of the collar can slip in between the grating and then they are trapped to the floor! As a dog trainer, I always reminded my pet parents to remove the dog’s collar whenever they are confining their dog in a crate. Once a smaller dog that we owned got his collar tags caught in the floor register grate. He jerked his head up and couldn’t release himself. Since the register wasn’t screwed into the floor, yet rather just laid on top of the carpet, he finally was able to lift it up. Because of the noise from his first attempt to lift the grate and his whining, I was over there within seconds and easily released the grate from the collar. Yet the floor grate in the crate is fixed with his weight on top, it could be hours before you returned from wherever you were before to find him attached and worn out from the terror of being trapped! So please always remove the collar before crating your dog!
