As far as pet crates go, this one is fabulous! We keep ours in the living room because it truly looks like a nice piece of furniture. We have a 5 month old Blue Heeler and she does well in it during the day and night. I could t give it 5 stars simply because it does show wear and tear decently fast. Especially on the inside of the door where our dog has scratched off all the paint. Other than that, it was worth the investment!
