Wooden Dog Crate End Table with Cushion, White and Rustic Brown

Small dogs get pushed around by furniture that was never sized for them. This crate is built for a dog up to 20 pounds, measuring 27.2 inches long, 20.1 inches wide, and 23.6 inches tall, and it weighs 32.6 pounds on its own. That weight matters more than it sounds like it should, because it keeps the piece planted when your dog shoulders the door on the way in.

Construction is particleboard paired with iron wire, a combination that stands up to chewing better than soft wood alone and holds its shape through years of a dog climbing in and out. The floor is a solid wooden plate rather than open bars, so paws and nails cannot slip through and catch. A matching cushion comes with it, which means no separate crate pad purchase and no guessing whether the dimensions will work out.

Double doors change how the crate fits a room. You can set it against a wall or wedge it between two other pieces and still have a usable opening, and a dog that is uncertain about crates tends to settle faster when there is more than one way out. Adjustable feet handle floors that are not quite level, which describes most floors in an older house.

The top is flat and wide enough to hold what a side table normally holds: a lamp, a small or medium plant, a stack of magazines, a few picture frames. In white and rustic brown it works as an end table beside a sofa or a night stand next to a bed, which is usually where a dog would rather sleep anyway. One piece of advice before you order. Measure your dog's height and length and check them against the interior, because a crate that is close to the right size is not the right size.
