Customer Rating:      Summary: Dog Crate Comment: Very happy with this dog crate. This arrived earlier than expected. It was very easy to put together and it gives my dog alot of room to move around.
Customer Rating:      Summary: affordable but large dog crate Comment: I love this crate, but was a little concerned with how big it is. I was told to buy this size crate for a Beagle but it is for a much larger breed of dog. The crate itself is safe and I am happy with it overall.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Great Crate! Comment: First, this crate is a really great price. I bought a dog bed to fit inside, and then started to worry if the divider wouldn't fit as a result. But, no worries! It fits great, since the divider isn't flush with the pan.
Secondly, this crate arrived super fast! It was really easy to unfold and set up. It's just as easy to take apart and store under a couch or bed when not in use.
I didn't want a plastic crate for two reasons. The first being that I hate the smell of plastic and didn't want the pup inhaling all those chemicals. The other reason I didn't want a plastic crate is that they typically have only a few holes so you can't see what's happening in the crate unless you are looking in from the door. This crate can be covered with a blanket when you want to give the dog some shade, but otherwise it's great to be able to monitor your puppy from any angle.
Lastly, the overall construction is superb. The doors latch on the top and bottom and are easy to open. There are no springs to get pinched on.
A great crate!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Happy with Crate- Not so happy with UPS Comment: I'm getting a sheltie pup soon and ordered this crate for her because it looked like a good deal with the divider and double doors, which were on my crate wish-list.. I was happy to pay no shipping charges..
The crate looks pretty good.. I think it will do the job nicely. And I was thrilled at how quickly Amazon.com sent it out, despite my choosing the free "super-saver" shipping.. I received it within days.
Well, I'm jumping the gun here by reviewing the product before I even get my puppy and see how she likes it, but I imagine things will go just fine.
However, I do have a complaint about UPS and I hope Amazon.com reads this and either re-considers their use of UPS or works with them to improve handling.
The crate came in the box which was all smashed up and torn. I LITERALLY did not have to open the box.. the long side was allready torn open.. I was thankful that all pieces were there, nothing had fallen out or was destroyed.
The rough handling and smashing caused the crate itself to be slightly warped. The crate comes folded together, and what should have been a super-easy set up was extremely difficult due to the way the crate was smashed together.. I had to pry it apart in a couple places, so to speak, so it would "pop up" like it was supposed to.. hard to describe. I'm not saying anything was bent or smashed beyond usability and it looks fine.. Possibly slightly warped.. but it will do.. But I was not happy at ALL with the condition in which I recieved. No major dents.. just slight "warping." I don't want to go through the hassle of return and replacement, but I wasn't happy.
Now that the crate is all set up, as I said, it looks fine and sturdy enough.. but it would have certainly been much easier to set up if UPS had handled it better. And I'm sure some of the pieces would "fit" together a bit nicer (less "gaps") if it had been in better condition when It arrived.
So.. I give Amazon and the company making this crate 4 stars out of 5 for what seems to be a very decent product. I give UPS 4 stars for rapid delivery, but only 1 star for handling..
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Crate! Comment: This is the second crate I've purchased for my cocker spaniel to be housed at a relative's house when I visit and have been very satisfied. It comes already folded with a carrying handle and is easy to open and place in the desired location. Highly recommended!
