A dog crate that reads as furniture instead of a wire box parked in the corner of the living room. This one is built from solid wood in a walnut finish, with a flat top that works as a real end table, so it can sit beside the sofa holding a lamp and a coffee cup while the dog sleeps underneath it.
Overall it measures 24 by 36.5 by 29.5 inches. The interior gives 17 inches of width, 24.5 inches of depth and 21 inches of height, which is room for a medium breed to stand, turn around and stretch out on its side. That last part is the one worth checking. A dog that cannot fully extend while lying down will never really settle in a crate, so measure yours from nose to base of tail, and from shoulder to floor, before you order.
The gate locks, which is the difference between a crate you can leave the house with and a decorative box the dog wanders out of. Worth being straight about the limit, though. The wood is not chew proof. If your dog works on furniture when anxious or bored, this is the wrong crate and no finish is going to change that. For a dog that is already crate trained and treats the space as a den, it holds up well.
It weighs 28.3 pounds, ships as a single item under model number 600-42, and is built for indoor use. It suits dogs at any life stage, from a puppy growing into the space to an older dog that wants somewhere quiet and dark to sleep through the afternoon. A 30 day limited warranty comes with it, and the finish is offered in options that let the piece sit alongside your existing furniture instead of fighting it.
The practical case here is simple. A wire crate eats floor space and gives nothing back. This one occupies the same footprint and returns a working side table, which is usually what makes a crate acceptable in a room where guests actually sit.
