Caisse de voyage en aluminium pour animaux

Some damage in shipping. Some of metal channels were dented requiring some straightening to allow for assembly. Have not tested it with the dogs yet but appears to be sturdy.

Fram was bent on side panel. Bottom panel missing a corner. Not sure if delivery dropped it or left the store like that.

It’s what you would expect for the price. The black parts of the crate are particle board so they probably won’t hold up long term. Some of the aluminum was bent upon receiving it which made putting it together a bit tricky. We had to use pliers to adjust. Some of the bolts do come loose periodically and make a rattling noise but it’s an easy fix. I wish there was a divider for this since it has two gates. Light enough for me to take in and out of my car. Bough this to transport my two medium sized GSPs (65lb and 45lb) in my 2023 XC90.

Assembly was awkward with the flimsy strips all needing lined up in a grooved track. On our crate, the track arrived, collapsed and scuffed. I had to use a tool to repair the damaged part. Lastly, the crate does NOT fit in the back of our 2020 Toyota Rav4 xse hybrid without unlatching the rear seats. I measured 3 times prior to ordering to make sure that it would fit, but this was disappointing. The crate is nice. The dog rides in it fine, but the poor fit and ease of install, plus the damaged parts, soured me on this purchase somewhat.

Good cage to travel with in back of SUV. IT fit my two Basset Hounds!
