The crate serves its purpose, but the wire is thin, the finish is rough, and the end door has a wire that goes beyond the door and I guess is supposed to hook into the body of the cage when you close the door, maybe to keep the dog from opening the door by unlatching it? I don't know why it's there but it interferes with closing the door. In this case you get what you pay for, a large cheaply made crate for a low price.
