The kennel is cute from a distance, but a close look shows how cheap some of the materials are - both “wood” and hardware. Honestly, if my dog wants out of this, she’ll be able to get out, but since she’s crate trained and used to having her own space, I think she’ll be fine. Wouldn’t recommend for beginner crate training pups or any that like to bring the drama when they’re locked up. It still looks better than the metal wire crate we had before, but I was a bit disappointed.

Update This didn’t hold up to a 30 minute run to the grocery store. She simply disassembled the door - looks like it took minimal effort. A dog crate needs to be able to withstand a little pawing. This has no business being advertised as being able to contain anything bigger than chihuahua. And certainly not “heavy duty”. False advertising for sure.
