I love this kennel! It looks so nice without the beds with the doors open you would never even know it is a crate. Its time consuming to assemble but Directions are great and not difficult at all. The beds inside I purchased separately and will need to be trimmed a bit. This thing is stout and feels and looks like luxury furniture. These furniture style crates are prob not meant for untrained dogs. They have to already be accepting of their time in the crate before you get one of these. A wild dog could easily destroy the wood. Bars are metal though. I use as 2 crates but you can take out middle (metal bar) dividor and have one EXTREMELY large kennel  I cant say enough good things about this thing!! My dogs weight 20 to 60 lbs each, I have 4, and they all go into the crate. Sometimes just to nap they love it too
