Casual Home Wooden Small Pet Crate, End Table, Espresso,19.5"W x 22.5"D x 22.5"H

I have 3 of the medium sized version of these, but one pup grew too big so I bought this one (sized up). It is definitely a lower build grade than the smaller kennels, thinner panels and bars. None of my dogs are allowed to chew on their kennels, so this is fine. But if you aren't a good trainer, or don't have a passive dog, this is a bad way to spend your money, get a better built kennel. In terms of appearance, it's fair, nothing wrong, but it will scratch/damage easily, so don't put things on top. The latch system is crap, they really need to go back to the sliding bolt system on all the models, they probably went to the flat lock, so they didn't have so many returns as the door sags and the alignment of a sliding bold would drop and require lifting the door slightly to lock it. Still the rotating flat lock can be bent pretty easily if the dog pushes hard enough from the inside.

I would definitely NOT use this cage for new puppy training. Stick with the wire cages until puppy no longer attempts to eat the bars or claw at the door. I have no doubt that a determined pup could eat right through these bars and get out. I'm not saying that they're flimsy, I am saying that if you want your dog crate furniture to stay looking nice, you should do your due diligence first with a wire cage first. I bought two of these for my two Corgis who are over a year old, and just about a year, who have slept in wire cages at night since like the third week we brought them home. It's a heartbreaking, pain-in-the-butt training, but really worth it when you don't want dog hair all up in your bed and can't make room for four anyway. Plus Corgis are double coated so they run really hot, so them having their own beds is good for them to not overheat at night.

I have to give 4 stars because one panel was cracked. Luckily it’s on the inside that’s why I kept the crate. It’s a nice looking piece of furniture. And my dog loves it.

We used to have our puppy in a typical metal crate from a pet store. We were trying to get away from crating as she is doing very well being left out of the crate when we aren't home. But we.found that her crate was her safe spot that she would go to during a thunder storm or if she was scared from the construction around the corner. So we decided to buy this. It's beautiful and a great size. But if your dog hates being in the crate and fights to get out I don't recommend this. It's perfect for a dog who likes being in there. We have a small mattress inside with a blanket and we just leave the doors open for her to go as she pleases

Update: despite the fact that my dog is crate trained and does like the crate, someone came to visit that he was excited to see and he literally just busted right through the doors. Whereas the whole crate is vulnerable to a chewer and OK for a crate-happy dog, the doors are definitely an issue. They are simply NOT strong. He now knows he can use his weight on the doors any time he does want to get out. We are considering some stronger hinges and bolts to see if that makes the doors less vulnerable, but as designed they are not going to contain any dog that seriously wants out.If you have a dog that gets distressed in the crate or is a chewer, this absolutely WILL NOT WORK. It does look good (very good in fact) but is NOT sturdy and a determined dog would make short work of busting out of it.That said, I got the XL for my flatcoated retriever (80 lbs), who is very good in his crate and he loves it. There is plenty of room (I got it to replace his "travel-type" plastic crate, which he had outgrown) and he settles down in it well. However, occasionally he gets impatient and scratches at the door and I can see that if he was really determined he could easily break out. Even as good as he is in the crate I would probably not leave him alone in it for any length of time unless I was OK with coming home and finding it broken.As far as assembly is concerned, it was very straightforward. The instructions are clear and you aren't asked to do anything tricky. You are basically just putting the sections together. My husband and I are hopeless at putting things together and we did it in under 1/2 hour. You don't get any "extras" with the fittings, so don't lose any. In particular DON'T LOSE ONE OF THE SPRINGS because if you do, you will not be able to assemble the doors. A couple of extra springs would have been nice because, yes, we lost one and had to get creative on fixing one of the doors in. We tried to second guess the instructions and the result was a lost spring. I would say if you do exactly what the instructions say you should find it easy enough.In short: looks good, easy to assemble, fine for a crate-happy dog, not at all suitable for a dog that gets stressed in a crate and unless your dog is a REALLY mellow crate occupant, you might not want to leave them in it unattended and/or for long periods.

I have the 32 in and it's great. I have two small dogs. A Pomeranian and a yorkie. Both toy size. They share the crate when we go out and at bedtime There is plenty of space for both with their pillows and chew toys. The crate is sturdy and as you can see it looks great!

I have a one year old pitbull she is super sweet and loved to chew so we bought this crate to still look cute in our living room. But as you can see in the pictures she chewed right through the door, climbed out and ate a pair of shoes all within an hour and a half.BUT I did give this a four because this is our second crate. Our older dog was 6 when we upgraded to this type of crate and she did great. We took the door off once she was passed her chewing stage and used it more like her own space.So I would recommend a wired crate for training a pitbull when they are younger. But upgrade as a reward for then they are more well behaved.

Ce meuble n'est vraiment pas assez solide pour un chien qui ne veut pas rester dans la cage... facile a détruire pour eux

Nice looking unit. Fairly easy to assemble. Not very sturdy though, the side panels flex readily, and when your tightening the bolts it feels like you are going to break it and or the screws chew up the cheap wood that they barely hold if your not very very careful. Not sure where they got the wood from but it's very soft and flimsy.

This crate is good looking but predrilled holes on the wrong side of one panel. I noticed it just once the screw installed. I had to remove them and do my one holes (not a big issue but the previous holes are on the visible side.Except that everything fine for now, not to hard to adjust and easy to assemble.My 39 ponds dog fit well and look to like it.

I don’t usually write a bad review on here but this item was a true disappointment. Putting the item together was pretty simple until I had to pot the bottom on, holes did not line up, I had to shave off a section of the one hole so the pegs would line up. One I had it together I noticed there were numerous gouges in the wood but my biggest disappointment was that there looked to have been a large crack on the top that was repaired and painted with a darker stain (Very noticeable) From afar this looks like a nice kennel, up close is a different story, it looks like a secondhand piece, very flimsy and the lock on the door is so flimsy my cat can probably beat it off. Like I said I don’t usually write reviews like this but there is no information on how to contact seller.

Great piece of furniture
