It is a good looking crate.  However it is a little wobbly. That's because the top, frame and bottom lip all easily slide apart if you want to just travel with the metal frame.  You can reinforce it.  Kids are not allowed on top because the wood is pretty thin.  It would crack.  You can use it to put knick knacks, magazines,books as it shows on photo.  I bought 2, one for my small dog and one for my pup who will be a big retriever once his grown.   Picture in photo is the medium.  Haven't set up large one yet I'm sure it is gonna be huge, way bigger than what you see there, but if you have to have a crate in the house, may as well be a nice looking one.
