Awesome kennel, just get it!
Just wanted to drop back to say that I’m still so happy with this kennel! I took out the middle gate, and it was easy to do—no extra help needed. Everything's intact and it looks great! My package arrived in perfect shape without any damage from FedEx. All parts were included, and I managed to put it together in about an hour and a half, but I recommend having a buddy around to help. I love this thing. I spent over a month checking out different options and finally chose this one based on reviews. It's sturdy, spacious, and just beautiful—no more clunky wire kennels taking over my space. The locks seem a bit flimsy, but if you're careful with them, I think they'll hold up fine. My medium golden doodle and mini Australian shepherd have plenty of room to chill when we’re not home. I’ve only had it set up since Saturday, but so far, everything's great! For something that could be costly, I feel like I made a smart choice. You won't regret it!

Solid product but assembly challenges
Putting this together was pretty straightforward. My husband managed to do it solo without instructions, but honestly, it's easier with two people. We didn’t receive the instruction pamphlet, so I reached out to Hawkins Woodshop for help. They sent us some written instructions, but they weren’t very clear. Thankfully, my husband has experience as a cabinet maker and figured it out. The crate itself works great for our two dogs—a medium-sized one and a young German Shepherd. They love it! The bars let them see us easily and the top surface is great for decor. Plus, I appreciate that I can easily clean underneath it with a broom or mop. Overall, it's a solid piece and I’d recommend it!

Super easy to assemble! Looks great!
I'm really impressed! I managed to put this together by myself, and I'm usually not great with instructions. The steps were clearly laid out, with everything labeled, which made it a breeze. It did say two-person assembly, but I only needed my son's help at the end to get the top lined up. It's solid and looks much more expensive than it is. Plus, my little dachshunds have been using it without any issues. One's about 9 pounds, and the other is 14, so it's for them. Great deal all around!

Great for my dog
This was worth the money! My dog fits in the crate perfectly, and the quality seems solid. I put it together by myself, which was simple enough. Just a heads-up—the instructions say to have two people, but I managed fine at 125 pounds. The lock isn't perfect, but it still keeps my dog secure. We had a delivery issue with the package getting stolen, but Hawkins Woodshop sent a replacement for free in just three days. If you want something nice without spending a ton, this is a good choice!

Great Pet Crate
This crate works perfectly for my two German shepherds, a 65lb older dog and a 50lb pup. It looks really nice and showed up a day earlier than I expected, which was a nice surprise. It was easy to put together. The latch seems a bit weak, but that's not an issue for my calm dogs. If you have more active ones, you might want to swap it out for something stronger. Cleaning the top and bottom is quite straightforward too. I also appreciate that each crate has two doors—one in the front and one on the side. My dogs like them and even sleep in there with the doors open. Plus, my robot vacuum fits nicely under it, which is a bonus since mine is a bit taller. Overall, I’d recommend this crate! 🙂
