Fantastic Product, Simple to Assemble
This piece, made in Thailand, really shines with a lovely finish you'd expect from quality furniture. I want to highlight a few things: 1. Style 2. Construction 3. Practicality. 1. Style: I’d give this product an A++ for its style. I adore the finish, and its height makes it as a buffet table or credenza. The top is spacious, which I use to showcase pictures and knick-knacks. I’ve even set one up as a sofa table, giving my guests a practical place to set their drinks. 2. Construction: Assembly was a breeze. Unlike some other products I've dealt with, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I’m glad I took my time with the step-by-step guide. Everything felt sturdy, and none of the bolts stripped out, even with a mix of hand and power tools. It took me around 30 minutes to put together—not bad at all! 3. Practicality: I have a big chocolate lab who weighs around 85 lbs, and the XL kennel provides him with ample space. He can stand up and move around comfortably. I just need to get a memory foam pad for him, and he’ll be all set. The two large doors on the kennel make entry and exit easy. Plus, I love the wooden slat design; it keeps him secure while allowing him to see everything going on around him. The only thing I found misleading was the claim about it being end table height; it's actually more of a sofa table height, which I prefer. Great product at an price!

Great Large Crate with a Few Tweaks
We got the large crate for our two small dogs who share it, and we really love how it looks compared to the old wire one we had. It’s more like a piece of furniture than just a crate. Putting it together was pretty simple, and while doing it solo isn’t a problem, having someone help is a plus. One of our dogs is a big chewer, so we wanted to make this crate "unchewable." We grabbed some 1/4 inch hardware cloth from the hardware store; a 10’ x 2’ piece worked well—we just needed to cut it to length. The screws we used (#8 x 1/2”) fit perfectly and were the right length to attach to the thicker parts of the crate. We measured and added it during assembly, but you could do it later too—though you might have to spend some time inside the crate! I’ve seen people suggest plexiglass, but I think the hardware cloth is easier to work with. Just remember to drill pilot holes and wear gloves since the metal can be sharp. Overall, we love how this crate fits into our living room. It’s practical and looks nice. Our cats even enjoy using it as a perch by the window! The only small issue I have is with the door hinges, which don’t allow enough clearance so the door rubs a bit when opening and closing. We just lift it when using it, and I’m planning to add a handle for easier access. We’re also thinking about adding an anti-fatigue mat inside for comfort and to muffle the sound of them playing with their toys. I'd recommend this crate. We've only had it a few weeks, so we’ll see how it holds up, but for now, we’re happy with it.

Great product
The packaging was on point; the item survived a rough trip in shipping without any issues. It was easy to put together and works well for the right-sized dog. Just a heads up—some reviews mention trying to use this for larger dogs, but it's not meant to act as a cage. If you're thinking about locking your pup in, maybe reconsider if that's the best approach.

A great-looking crate for the price
This crate is a solid deal. It looks just like the pictures on the website, went together easily, and the hardware and instructions were straightforward. It's mostly made of real wood, likely pine or rubberwood, with a bit of ply or MDF on the bottom, and I didn’t see any flaws in the finish. Just a heads up—if you have a dog that's not crate-trained and gets anxious, this might not be the right fit. It's not flimsy or poorly made, but if a dog really wants out, they'll find a way. For those anxious pups, I'd suggest a standard metal crate instead. I had thought about making a custom crate to match our furniture, but when I found this one, I noticed the stain was a close match to our bedroom set. For $205 with tax and free delivery, it seemed worth a shot. I realized I would’ve spent more than that on materials to build something similar myself. While my custom crate might have been sturdier and perfectly matched the stain, this one came pretty close and saved me time and money. I'm glad I chose this crate. It offers great value, and my 85lb Rhodesian Ridgeback loves it, which makes me happy.

Great pick!
I'm really happy I chose this one—it's just right for our golden retriever to sprawl out comfortably. It looks nice, and it's a good deal compared to a lot of other options. We've gotten plenty of compliments from guests!

Great looking and sturdy
After doing some remodeling, the plastic kennel in my dining area just wasn’t cutting it, so I grabbed this as a nicer option. I’m really happy with it! It looks great and feels solid. My dogs seem to like it too. As soon as I had it set up with a blanket, they started exploring it on their own. It’s comfy for them with a smooth floor that's raised a bit, and the solid side panels give them some privacy and that cozy den vibe. I leave the door open, and they go in there to nap all the time. It’s sturdy enough to act as an end table as well. I’ve seen some reviews where people were frustrated because their dogs chewed it or broke the door, but I think it’s important to remember this is furniture and not a traditional crate. It’s got the function of a crate, but it's not meant to keep a dog in that doesn't want to be there. I wouldn’t suggest using it for a puppy or a active dog if you're going to be away for long unless it's a calm adult dog. For me, it mainly works as a dog bed, and I can even feed my little guy in there to keep him safe from the others. I can also shut the door if needed, like when I’m mopping or someone comes over. Just keep in mind the difference between a furniture crate and a hard crate. It fits my needs perfectly and looks nice in my space. One last thing about the price—I'm so pleased that I wanted to buy another one or two for the bedrooms, but the price on the walnut color has jumped quite a bit. I'd pay around a hundred again without hesitation, but at three hundred, it’s not worth it for me, so keep an eye on the prices because they can change.
