My wife and I wanted a pet crate that looked like a piece of furniture, not a jail. We also wanted something that gives our dog a comfortable, secure place to sleep at night. The Gendron Pet Crate was the perfect solution. I like that it comes with a pull-out plastic tray and a soft cushion. Some crates don't and this can add to the cost. The doors seem a little flimsy, but they stay locked. The crate was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. We put it together in less than 30 minutes.
