It’s perfect! Exactly what I was thinking. I didn’t have issues putting it together, the only thing is that one tube doesn’t pop into the other (I’ve owned many of these crates and that’s how they normally work), so you have to kind of align them perfectly for the slider to connect them. Not a big deal and doesn’t change the sturdiness. These are great crates to be able to move room to room and load up in the car, I line with puppy pads to use with a new pup and it’s nice these are washable. I will always recommend and looking forward to using with our new pup!
