The kennel is excellent, what we were looking for, about 45min to 1hr to assemble. The locking latch would be the only thing I don't like its small and hard to grab, will modify to a different type later on. A plus in my opinion is the floor board its not attached to bottom of cage so you can easily replace it with another one from a lumber place. Beautiful kennel very big I have a beagle medium sized dog so she has plenty of space to sleep and stretch out.
