Pros: Beautiful, sturdy, real reclaimed wood, not composite or plastics. Heirloom quality crate. Laths nicely finished and smooth. 

Cons: Supports for the laths decrease usable interior space and are sharp/rough, will need to sand down edges to make pet friendly, will need to re-drill/deepen pilot holes not nearly deep enough and don’t want to risk splitting the wood. Assembly will require a power drill.
