This worked really well for our set up. We don’t kennel the dogs all the time but we wanted something that looked better than a metal cage and this does. The only downside is the height was a little short for my Weimer but we just took the bases out of the drawers so he had more head room. And the bottom due to the dividers is not flat which we solved by putting in cushioned beds. We leave it open and they hang out there all the time.
