I debated giving this either 3 or 4 stars, but while it does work for me it needed modifications.  Our Boston Terrier fits perfect in it; however, I thought the bars were metal.  They are wood, and he chewed one of the front bars off, so he could escape.  If your dog tends to chew things this may not be the crate for you.  While I understand it is my dog that chewed it would make the crate better if the bars were metal instead.  Dogs chew it is in their nature.  So for this reason it just doesn't work like it should for us.
