Frustrating, and Unsafe I’ve purchased a lot of pet gear over the years, but this is easily the worst crate I have ever used. For something meant to keep a pet secure, the quality is shockingly poor. Here’s why you should skip • Defective Latch The door mechanism is a total nightmare. It is incredibly hard to lock and open, often getting stuck or requiring two hands and a lot of force just to secure it. It’s poorly engineered and definitely not worth the price. Do yourself a favor and buy a sturdy metal or heavy-duty travel crate instead.

Aesthetically pleasing but not the best quality overall.

Love the crate

I got the small one. This is flimsy plastic, not at all the quality I expected for $146. Only time will tell on how long it lasts, but I'm not confident about the thin plastic tabs that hold the sides together. And this isn't a crate you want to repeatedly fold up. It might hold for my 9lb dog but there's no way for a larger dog.

looks better than wire crates and won't harm dogs who try to bite their way through
