This crate was more than large enough for our English springer spaniel, and it is so inviting the dogs who hate crates took it over from the intended dog. The height is a little high for an end table, but I knew we needed it that height because springers are taller. Given that there is a dog in it most of the time, I'm assuming it's appealing and comfortable. One of the dogs tore the bed fabric trying to nest it, so if you have a scratcher, perhaps cover the bed in something more durable (it wasn't that dog's crate, so I hadn't worried about it before).
