Sturdy, attractive side table with dog kennel
Easy to put together, sturdy, cute door. We live in a small house with a very small bedroom. I needed a dog kennel to fit between the bed and the wall and give me a table top for a lamp…. This fit perfectly, and I love the table top. Absolutely no complaints; my 22 pound Havanese loves it and so do I. The only negative things I can think of is that since there is not a plastic pan bottom like the wire kennels have, it would not be ideal for dogs that are not house broken yet. The second thing is that it would not be sturdy enough for strong larger dogs who are determined to escape. My dog is a sweetie and would never think of trying to tear it apart to get out so it is perfect for us!

So far so good
Update 2025: everything worked out great. Dog loved it. Went in it when I would send her to bed a night and even in the day time we left the door open and she would go in whenever she didn’t want to be bothered. It’s just not toddler proof sadly. My son started loosing screws. A few on the top and on the door. So at some points we just decided to get rid of it since it became too unstable and dog could easily push the door open with a few nudges. Originally sometime in 2021: Easyish to build. I normally wait for my husband to assemble things for me but I gave it a try. The delivery was awesome. I live on the second floor so I was already expecting to find it on the bottom of the stairs and very much banged up, since I saw that it said it weighed 65lbs. But I found it right infront of my door box still intact to damages to it, which was a really great and nice surprise. Everything was nicely packed and protected. A very snug fit inside the box with multiple layers of protection in between. The only little defects I found were a few scratches on the panel that goes on the bottom so no biggy for me since no one is going to see it(and I won’t either). It was nice when I released I wouldn’t be needing any tools to put it together. It comes with some plastic screws, which did through me off. And didn’t seem too sturdy as I was putting it together which made me worry a bit at first. And to bottom panel didn’t seam to be the right fit ( but no issue so far with that). The top is about the only thing I really struggled with. I read a few reviews about bad alignment. But i just had to really make sure both stick things in the middle were in the right place at the same time before I tried to put the screw things on and before I worried about alignment issues. Eventually it all came together. Once you get the top on it really gets more sturdier. Only took me about an hour or so.. 1.5at most. Her bed is 3ft by 2ft. If you see in the pics it doesn’t quite fit with wise but we just shoved it in there so it works for now. Took a while for my dog to get use to it but after a few hours it seams like she can stay in and nap.. We literally just got it this morning so I have to wait and see how she really likes it (if she can stay the night) and how well it’ll work for her as she grows but I’m hoping this is our last and final crate/ bed for her. Long story short it was an easy build with a small struggle at the end. I love how the finished product looks. Price was great compared to other places I was looking at. I thought I might of over did the size (xl)but I know my husky will grow into it since it doesn’t seam to huge on the inside. Just have to find the perfect spot for it in my apartment. Will update review with Metztli’s final thoughts (my husky).
