I am very very happy with the purchase. It was alittle taller than I expected but ok I was more interested in the length and width and it is perfect. It did have a strong smell but after it being opened and aired out it was fine. I had a very similar crate from the ASPCA years ago which I loved. I would recommend this product. This is my first purchase from Wayfair and I am very much looking forward to more. Thank you.
