If I could give less than one star I would. I had high hopes, but after being gone for just over an hour, my 20 lbs beagle mix had pawed at the front of this crate and it completely crumbled and he got out. The lock did hold up but the hole front with the bars disconnected. Not sure if this was defective or just poorly made but I would not recommend. He is a small dog and not very strong and the crate quite literally crumbled. The front doesn’t even appear to be wood, and looks like some sort of cardboard style composite. Still don’t quite understand this.
