Incredibly sturdy easy to clean and easy to move around
I am incredibly happy with my purchase. I purchased two of these heavy duty dog cages for four dogs that I have currently. They were incredibly easy to put together and are phenomenal in shape and construction. When I receive the second package for the second kennel I was lacking some parts but immediately contacted customer service through Hawkins Woodshop for this company and within a day and a half I received the parts that I was missing. I don't blame the company purely for having missing parts because I believe that perhaps the second box I received had been returned and had not been provided with all the parts needed to assemble the dog crates. I cannot tell you how easy it is to move and clean these dog crates and position them anywhere in the house as well as placing dog beds and dog pee pads underneath for daily use. I recently bought two dogs from a city pound that are slowly being acclimated and trained to be in-house dogs and these crates are wonderful highly recommend

Great for Big Dogs, But Needs a Few Tweaks
This crate is definitely heavy duty. It took about an hour to assemble with two people, and once it's up, it's incredibly solid. I can’t imagine any dog breaking out of it unless they somehow figure out the flimsy locks. That brings me to the main downside: the locks feel loose and lightweight. While they haven't broken, they rattle loudly anytime my dog leans against the door or even just breathes heavily. Another design issue is the grated metal floor. It seems like an odd choice and could easily catch a dog’s nails, which could lead to injury. I highly recommend lining the bottom with a rubber mat or fitting a crate bed to prevent that. I was able to find one with perfect dimensions, and now my puppy likes her crate. A couple of other notes: This crate does not break down easily, so once it’s assembled, it’s pretty much stuck in whatever room you build it in (unless you have oversized doors). Despite its quirks, this is a well-built, secure crate for large breeds. With a few tweaks, it becomes a very functional and comfortable space.

Durability and size and comfort.
Large enough and strong enough for a pit bulls or any larg dog. My dog is currently 1 year old and 55 lbs. She has used this since the day I brought her home! She loves it! She goes in and comes out when she wants to during the day. If I say time for nap or time for bed or tell her I have to go run errands, she trots right over to it and in it. She sleeps all night in it and never whines. It's her safe place. Very secure. It was worth the cost. Not easily transported. It's heavy as the materials are not flimsy wire. My daughter and I laughed so hard when it got put together because it looked big enough and strong enough for a small Ape. It has wheels so it's easily moved around.

Perfect crate with plenty of room to grow!
I purchased the kokotangs 48 Inch Heavy Duty Dog Crate and have been very happy with it. I wanted something strong, secure, and large enough that my dog wouldn’t outgrow it right away, and this crate was exactly what I was looking for. The heavy-duty construction feels sturdy and gives me peace of mind that it will hold up over time. There is plenty of space for my dog to move around comfortably, and I love knowing that as my dog gets bigger, there will still be room to grow. The crate was easy to set up, the doors work well, and cleaning it is simple. It feels much more durable than a standard wire crate, and the overall quality has been great. If you have a growing puppy or a larger dog and want a crate that will last for years instead of buying multiple sizes, I definitely recommend this one. Great investment!

The metal bars keep the cage sturdy and it’s extremely high quality! Only thing though is that the latches are wobbly, but I don’t have an escape artist, so he won’t be breaking out of this cage lol. This is my 6 month old, 36 pound, lab mix inside the 48 inch cage. Definitely a lot of space for him to comfortably lay and room to grow! I love the look of it as well and having the space on top to place his toys, treats, and my own belongings. Overall this is a nice sturdy cage and definitely worth the money!
