Wooden Dog Crate End Table with Double Doors, Rustic Brown

A wire crate in the middle of a living room announces itself. This one does not. The top is a broad flat surface that takes a lamp, a couple of photo frames, or a plant, so it reads as an end table or a nightstand first and a kennel second. Put it beside the sofa and it earns its floor space twice over.

Underneath the furniture look, the construction is practical. The body combines particleboard with wire, and the wire is there for chew resistance, because a dog that works on one corner for a month will find any weakness in a piece built purely from panel. Adjustable feet keep it level on flooring that is not, which matters more than it sounds when the furniture is being shoved around from the inside.

Two doors, not one. Double door access lets you place the crate where the room wants it rather than where a single door forces it, and a dog can get in and out without a three point turn. The floor is a wooden bottom plate rather than exposed wire, so paws and nails do not drop through the gaps. Anyone who has watched a dog favor a foot after a night on a wire floor understands why that detail belongs on the list.

A cushion is included, so bedding is not a day one purchase on top of the crate. Dimensions are 27.2 inches long, 20.1 inches wide, and 23.6 inches high, the crate weighs 32.6 pounds, and it is sized for dogs up to 20 pounds. The rustic brown finish sits comfortably next to most wood tones already in a room. The package contains one crate and one set of instructions.
