Despite the not-so-great reviews, I took a chance on this crate and I'm glad I did.  The product came very securely packaged and was super easy to assemble.  The white pieces aren't secured with anything, but they seem sturdy enough.  The size large is just right for our 40 lb. lab mix.  This crate looks like something from Pottery Barn, though it's just as expensive.  My only complaint is that it's a bit overpriced for what it is.
