I think this is a very nice crate, and it looks great.  It took my husband 20 mins to put together, at most.  There are two problems that I see: it was supposed to be gray but it is definitely more brown than gray.  There is a slight wash of gray in it, at best.  The other problem is the wood dents easily and is soft.  Other than that, it is a nice crate for our living room.
