Quality of materials* and instructions could use improvement… I would like to see more quality for the price paid, none the less it is functional and competitive given inflation.

*Quality of wood is low and parts of wood are damaged and painted over in the corners. Not noticeable unless putting together or opening the crates. 

*Quality of locks, fiber board backing, and wood doors will hold small and maybe less robust medium sized dogs. Works for my French bulldogs however my more robust puppy could break through this thing if she decides to however she likes her crates. 

*The backing of the crate is thin fiber board. 

*When putting together some cuts and alignments were off in the back only. Minor elbow grease and force fixed the faulty cuts all together.
