This exceeded my expectations.  It’s a beautiful piece of furniture, and is good quality.  It took my husband and I about 1.5 hours to put it together - definitely a 2 person job, but worth the work.  We have a smaller dog, so I was worried about the gaps between the bars being spaced too far apart, but they are just fine.  It’s nice that the doors open on both sides.  Our dog went right in and was not scared of the sound the doors make when closing, and I think the 2 solid sides give her a sense of safety.  Also - the inside dimensions of the doggy space are 22x32 - wish I would have bought a bed at the same time so she could have gone in right away. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
