The dog crate looks so much nicer than the plastic ones I’ve used in the past. The puppy eats in it and my older dog naps in it. It was assembled in about 45 minutes and looks more like a piece of furniture than a dog crate. I don’t know that it would actually contain the puppy if she wanted to get out though. The latch seems a bit flimsy. I use it at night to hold the bed pillows. I’m quite happy with it.
