Casual Home Wooden Extra Large Pet Crate, End Table, Espresso

This crate is a great value. It looks exactly as shown in the pictures online, goes together very easily, the instructions and hardware were all without issue. The crate is mostly real wood (other than the 1/4" ply or mdf panels along the bottom), probably pine or rubberwood as it is made in Thailand. I didn't notice any flaws in the stain / poly coating.If you have a dog that is not crate trained and relaxed don't get it. It isn't poorly made, it isn't a doggy jail though. If a dog really wants out, they will get out. If you have concerns about this, get a standard metal mesh crate and use that, until your dog is good with it. If you use your crate to kennel the dog any time you aren't home, this is the wrong crate for your use.I was initially going to build a custom crate and stain it to match our furniture. I was looking around at lots of furniture style crates online when I came across this one. The stain was very close to the rest of our bedroom set, it was real wood, and the price $205 with tax and free delivery. That was worth the role of the dice to see if it was decent. I'd have spent more than 200 bucks easily in wood, glue, fasteners, and stain / poly to make a similar crate. The one I'd made might have been more sturdy and 100% matched the stain of our bedroom furniture. This crate was a 95% match though, saved me a bit of money, and probably a full day plus of work to build and finish a custom crate.I'm happy I bought this crate. It is a great product at an excellent price point. My 85lb Rhodesian Ridgeback is enjoying it and that makes me happy.

Okay so I just finished putting my crate together and absolutely adore it. I was unsire about buying this crate due to some of the negative reviews but figured I'd give it a shot anyways. Now here's my response to some of the things that concerned me, or that I just thought were silly complaints in the first place.Cheap wood: yeah it's basically IKEA furniture, do you really expect to get a solid wood crate for $100? Sorry but what world are you living in I want in!Heavy: it's actually relatively light for being a wood crate (I got size large) I'd guess around 25-30 pounds. If you want a wood crate it's going to be heavier than a plastic one.Holes misplaced/parts missing: The holes all /basically/ lined up for me, I see where it could be an issue but I mean it's a cheap crate, you're trading some of the quality for the price. unless you're missing a side pennel for some crazy reason everything can be easily replaced at home depot and a drill will fix any issues you have. Borrow one from a neighbor if you need. I also like the idea a lot of people had to reinforce things with glue but personally I think its strong enough without for my needsDog chews on it/broke it: it's a cheap wooden crate, don't get it if your dog chews on wood or tries to break out of crates. That's just common sense. I'm going to introduce it slowly and won't leave her alone in it for a few weeks.Loose "bars": yeah this is an issue for sure, I'll see how it goes for me but if they're easy to break I'll end up replacing them with something elseOverall I think it's a good crate for my needs, I live in a trailer so I'm not exactly upper middle class. It makes my small space feel more elegant and less cluttered without breaking the bank. If you're looking for something higher quality get ready to dish out 3 times as much or even more if you want to consider something custom. But don't cheap out on a crate like this one and complain when you realize the cheapest option is made cheap

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.

Looks great in my living room and fits my two small dogs (10lb shih tzu and a 5 lb chiwiennie) perfectly. Note: this is not a cage for rambunctious dogs that don’t enjoy being crated. The lock is not the most secure thing. But it works great for dogs that just lay down and go to sleep and don’t lose their minds in a crate.It was easy to put together.My friends loved it so much they got one for their dog too!

This dog house was perfect for the style of pur living room. Well made. Looks great. Used it as the dog crate as well as an end table beside our couch. Loved it.

Love this product, it’s sturdy and works well as a kennel for my dog and a nightstand for me! Easy to put together and it’s sturdy without being extremely heavy.

So glad I picked this one - perfect for our golden retriever to stretch out in. Looks great, great value compared to many others. Lots of compliments from visitors to our home!

Exactly what we ordered, looks beautiful. We purchased 2 one for our Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier. We added a comfy pad for the bottom to protect the wood, so their beds/blanket fit and as you can see screwed in a water and food dish and finally have puppy pads for when we are at work. My chihuahua can hold it while at work, but my female terrier cannot. This is the perfect housing unit - quality and function - easy to install - quick delivery sooner than we expected

This was a breeze to put together. It came quickly and was packaged well. It looks like a piece of furniture and fits into my modern living room. I just bought a dog bed for the bottom and my dog loves it.
