Looks great and my dog actually uses it
Got this DWVO dog crate with wheels for my medium dog and honestly really happy with it. It's not one of those ugly metal kennels—it actually looks like furniture. The white finish with wood details fits in with my living room, and people don't even realize it's a dog crate when they come over. The crate itself is solid. 38 inches is plenty of room for my dog to move around. The frame feels sturdy and the chew-resistant material has held up well, which is important since my dog likes to chew. The removable tray is a game-changer for cleaning—just slides right out and I can wipe it down quick. Way better than dealing with traditional crates. The wheels are a nice touch. I can move it around the house when I'm cleaning or just want to rearrange things, and they lock so it doesn't slide around once I've put it where I want it. The slats let air through so my dog stays cool, and the door is easy to use. No sharp edges or anything unsafe. The only downsides are that assembly takes a bit of time if you're not used to putting things together, and it's pretty heavy so you'd need the wheels to move it around easily. Overall it's a solid buy if you want a crate that actually looks good in your house and is practical too. My dog likes it and it holds up well.

Really nice piece
Solid crate that works great. Fits in a few different spots in my house, and both my dogs are happy using it. They just go in and relax. Assembly wasn't a problem at all. The boards on top and bottom are heavy, so it's doable solo but definitely easier with two people helping out. The locks lined up fine with no issues. I like that the bars have metal framing around them instead of just leaving the wood exposed. Most other crates don't do that, which means chewers can tear into the wood easier. I wouldn't risk it with a dog that has a history of destroying stuff, but the wood framing and enclosed top make it feel like a den, which dogs seem to prefer since it gives them a quiet, cozy spot.

Luca is really happy with his new piece. It's well made and we'd order from Hawkins Woodshop again if we need anything else. Great value for what you get!

Good purchase
Really happy with this one. It's spacious and sturdy enough for the price. Looks way better in my bedroom than that bulky metal crate I had sitting around. Wish all the locks were the slide-up type instead of just some—the middle locks are kind of weak and rattle around, which means they come undone. Got a Doberman in each crate I ordered and they hold up fine overall, but those locks could be stronger. Assembly wasn't too bad, I got them put together pretty quick on my own.

I really like that the sides are all metal. It was easy to put together and looks nicer than a wire crate. Exactly what I needed!

Lots of room inside
This has plenty of space for my pet to move around in. Assembly was straightforward and didn't take long.

Looks good and easy to assemble.
Looks nice, sturdy, and easy to put together. The only issue I've noticed is that if you have a clever and curious dog, they might figure out the latches and escape. (I have one, and she did, so I'll be reinforcing the latches. Still, I really like the crate!)

Great addition to the room
Good size and it looks nice. It really feels like another piece of furniture in the space. Sturdy too. I'd buy from Hawkins Woodshop again.

You won't regret it.
This is a solid option for concealing a dog crate. It looks nice and feels anything but cheap. My dog really enjoys it—he even goes in by himself sometimes! It's for medium-sized dogs, but I'm not sure larger breeds would fit comfortably. The latches are a bit thin, but there are two of them, so they should hold up well. Overall, this is a great buy for the price.

Better quality than what I had before
I got this crate to replace an older one from another store that fell apart after a while and cost me way more. This one is built better, looks good, and didn't break the bank. Pretty happy with the upgrade.

Get a buddy for assembly.
I just finished putting this together, and it took me nearly three hours solo. I definitely recommend having someone to help you out. It’s pretty heavy, so just getting it into the house was a struggle even while it was still in the box. It looks like it could be a solid crate, but when I flipped it over for assembly, one of the wheels popped out—specifically, the part in the metal frame that holds it in came loose. I managed to glue it back in as best as I could since I didn’t have enough space to keep the box inside.

Nice
Really happy with this. It looks great and the quality is solid.

The cage is nice and spacious! However, the locks feel a bit weak, and a solid hit on the door could easily break them. My German Shepherd-Doberman mix has plenty of room inside!

This crate looks nice and is sturdy; it was simple to put together. The only issue I've run into is that my smart and energetic dog managed to figure out the latches and escape. (Yep, I have to reinforce those.) But overall, I'm still pretty happy with the crate!
