DWANTON Dog Crate, 25" L, Three-Door Kennel Expansion, Dog Furniture House Now Up to Large Dog, Rustic Brown

This is a great size both for my dog and for my apartment as a table for my VCR/DVD player. I have a 16 pound Yorkie/Shih-Tzu cross. Assembly instructions were multi-step but very precise and helpful. At first, the pieces felt flimsy, and I questioned how sturdy it would be; however, I could feel it getting more and more sturdy as assembly progressed. It holds my dog quite well and safely. I am pleased with the value.

I ordered these kennels for our two (soon to be three) Chihuahuas and we are VERY pleased! The quality and style is remarkable for the price. All three kennels were easy to assemble with all parts included. The items were very well packaged and faired much better than the box it arrived in. The functionality is exactly what we were looking for and being that we're in a small city apartment, the kennels don't consume much space at all and provide ample space inside for our dogs. This product will work great for well-mannered, crate-trained dogs but may not be sturdy enough for destructive or highly anxious pups. Overall for the price and quality, it's a win!

When reading reviews, my first thought is always, "Why 4 stars and not 5 stars?"I am giving this product 4 stars because of concerns I have with how it was manufactured.1. As I was assembling it (which took approximately 50min doing it myself) I noticed that some of the screw holes were not drilled big enough to accommodate the screws.This was frustrating since the main crate assembly requires only one size screw. I don't necessarily think this is the seller's fault as they aren't testing assembly on every crate they sell, but the manufacturing is a little faulty in that regard. Also, it was one screw which in the grand scheme of things isn't too terrible.That being said, the issue was with a screw for the back panel and did not take away much from the crate itself as I have the back panel against the wall in my home. If I were to move the crate, I just need to be mindful that the back panel is loose on one of the four screws it takes to put on.2. Another manufacturer concern is that it's somewhat unclear as to what purpose the last piece in the assembly instructions serves. It is for a flat piece that is intended to be a swing latch for after you shut the two forward-facing doors. The photo is unclear and I have not ever seen a mechanism like that before. Be sure not to overtighten the right-sided screw. Be sure to use this latch otherwise the front doors can be pushed against which would bend the actual door lock and likely break the crate if the pet is eager and determined to escape.3. There is a door for the side of the crate which is very useful. However, the instructions do not indicate that you should assemble the door latch until the end. Unfortunately, the holes for the side door latch will be inaccessible if you follow the booklet instructions.The next to last step in assembly is to add the forward-facing doors and the bottom brace which holds them in place. ******Before you do this, assemble your latch for the side door.****** Then add the front two doors and continue as the booklet instructs.Overall I am pleased with the crate. It serves its purpose and fits our aesthetic. If the instructions were a little clearer and the screw holes fit properly, I would give it 5/5 stars.

This dog crate is very nice & sturdy! It’s open on 3 sides and the back is a wooden board. I bought 2 of them & It works perfectly for my dogs. They have extra room to move around & it’s also nice that it’s a table top so it’s also functional. The only thing I do not like is the locking mechanism. It can be a little difficult to open. Overall, it is an awesome purchase.

The media could not be loaded. The look of it is beautiful. However, it is poorly made. The set up was pretty easy, but the front door panels aren’t properly sized to keep them tight together when closed. My puppy pushes them and they move outwards a bit. I’m afraid she’ll try to get out at the bottom opening and get stuck or hurt herself. I’ll have to get something to create a tighter closed door so she can’t push it forward.Another note, the latches work fine, just make sure the latches are installed correctly. I watched a video review to install them correctly.

Quality looks nice but the bottom board they sent doesn’t fit and won’t work so I can’t use it! Money down the drain!

We have 10 week old puppies that lost their mama at 4 weeks. Bought 2 of these crates and the 3 puppies are already crate trained. They sleep well in them and whine when we need to take them out for potty breaks. Best way to raise puppies as they feel safe in these beds.The crates themselves are in attractive end tables in our livingroom. They open with a single door on the narrow side and double doors on the wide side. It’s very easy for the dog to exit or for us to reach in for a puppy.They seem to be very sturdy and well build too. Have already recommended these to friends with dogs.

The media could not be loaded. Don't be stupid like me.... Put your latch on the right way... Other than that it's perfect! Just what I needed all around.Lots of spare screwes, has 2 rubber corner guards, pretty sturdy, plenty of space for my pup to grow into, and easy to wipe out puppy accidents. Took about an hour to assemble on my own but it wasn't difficult, just a lot of double-checking the orientation of pieces.If this is for a cat or a tiny dog, please be aware there is a 2½ - 3 inch gap at the top of each side that they may be able to get through.
