Wooden Dog Crate End Table with Cushion, Double Doors, Rustic Brown

A wire kennel parked in the corner of a living room announces itself. This one does not. The top is a broad, flat surface standing 23.6 inches tall, right at nightstand and end table height, so it can hold a lamp, a stack of books, a couple of plants, or framed photos and read as furniture first. The rustic brown finish stays neutral enough to sit beside a sofa without fighting whatever else is in the room.

Underneath that top is a proper crate. The frame pairs particleboard with iron wire, a combination that holds up to a chewer better than soft wood alone, and the wire panels let you see in without getting up. Two doors are built in, which matters more than it sounds. A dog can come and go from whichever side you have facing the room, and you are not stuck rearranging furniture to reach a latch. Adjustable feet at the base level the piece on old floors that are not quite flat. The floor inside is a solid wooden bottom plate rather than open wire, so paws and nails do not slip through, and a matching cushion comes with it for a warmer place to sleep.

This particular size measures 27.2 inches long by 20.1 inches wide by 23.6 inches tall and weighs 32.6 pounds, built to house dogs up to 20 pounds comfortably. The same design is offered in small, medium, large, and extra large, so choose by the dog rather than by the room. Measure your dog standing before you order. You want the interior roughly one to two inches taller than the dog and four to five inches longer than its body. Getting that measurement right the first time saves a return, and a crate sized properly is one a dog is far more willing to settle into.
