Husband put it together.  Still having difficulty getting our golden retriever to go inside it.  Having been using treats to encourage her and she has progressed to the point of putting her front paws in.  She loves her metal crate so hopefully she will adjust to using this one too.  Bought it so we could take it to my daughter's house since she will be dog sitting for us next month.  It seems well built and is exactly the same dimensions as her other crate.
