Ordered two of these. This crate is just fine. No pre-drilled holes and the instructions were confusing. Worst though, one of them must have been packages before the finish on the top of the crate was dry. The finish is rough and there are fingerprints on the edge that won't come out. That is very disappointing! This is only a problem on one of the crates. I like that it opens on both sides though. Basically, this crate is just...fine.
