We LOVE this crate!! When we adopted our two dogs, we knew we'd need to put their crates out in the family room so we wanted something that looked nicer than the wire cages. These are perfect! Easy to assemble, sturdy, and they look great! We recently rearranged the family room, and changed one of the crates to the side opening. It's fabulous, too! They clean easily, hold decor nicely, and our dogs (two 50-pound Aussiedoodles) love them. The pads that came with them weren't washable, so they didn't last long with our initially nervous rescue pups. (We bought washable 36-inch crate beds for them, and they fit perfectly.) If you're on the fence about this crate, don't be! Our pups were 3 when we got these, and we know they'll last their lives. We're so glad we got these!
