It sure is a good thing I checked amazon.com for dog creates before spending almost twice as much at a major pet store! This crate is perfect in every way. It's very well made and the price can't be beat. The bottom plastic tray can be easily removed for cleaning and the crate collapses very easily. It's pretty easy to open and close with the double sliding locking mechanism, and it comes with a partition so it can grow with your puppy. I can't imagine housetraining our now-five-month-old puppy without it! We love this create, and so does our puppy.

Addition 1/2011: This crate is still standing strong and has proven itself to hold up against a strong dog, us bumping up against it, moving it, collapsing it, and cleaning it. It's perfect!

I recently purchased the 42x28x30 crate for my 4 month old German Shepherd. He was quickly growing out of his smaller crate as he is already over forty pounds. I was unsure before ordering whether this would be a sufficiently sized crate for my dog when he is mature. I will tell you we joking call this his condo because it is huge. I am 5'3" and 110 lbs. and me and my dog could fit in this crate (we actually did lol!). Plus the free divider makes it great as a training crate. If you are considering a crate for a large breed dog like a German Shepherd, this is a great crate for your dog. It is also very sturdy and easy to set up. I am so happy that I saved money and got a great crate!

I watch my neighbor's toy dog everyday when I am not traveling. I like to tell people that we have a "joint custody" arrangement. She has a large crate at her home for the dog to spread out in, but since she chews on things (the dog, not my neighbor) I needed a little one for the times when I leave the dog alone in my house. Also, she needed a travel-sized crate for car trips.

When I found this dog crate on Amazon I was curious as to how well made it could be for such a low price (I got the smallest one, 18x14x12). When it arrived the next day I was really pleased with how easy it was to set up. No tools, no wing nuts, just lift the sides up and snap it together. It is perfect for my needs. Bella, a little Yorkie, is fully grown and can stand up in it just fine. I now have a fleece liner for it and sometimes she walks in there on her own and hangs out in her little house. I have added photos of her in the crate under "Customer Images". I am very pleased with this purchase.

Product looks sturdy. Ideal crate for small puppies or dogs. Easy to assemble and easy to carry. Works great. Good price.I will stronly recommend this to anyone.This product was delivered on time.

This product serves it purpose and was much cheaper then those locally. Received it quickly and easy to put together.

I bought this for my Chihuahua/Terrier mix, and she fits perfectly into the smallest size, with enough room to stand up. I put it together in 30 seconds, and it is very easy to use. However, the smaller crates come with only one latch, and my dog has now figured out how to open the gate easily, as the sliding bar only needs to be pushed out and to the left. (I have a video of this on Youtube, search for "johnnyma45" and watch "Izzy breaks out". We use a little suitcase padlock to keep the door closed. Overall happy, just wished the latch wasn't so easy to open by the dog.

I received the product ahead of schedule and in good condition. Assembly was a breeze; it practically fell into place. I only read the directions to make sure it was correctly/safely assembled. Pet store prices were nearly double the Amazon price (which, incidentally,has risen a bit since my June purchase) even with shipping. I am completely satisfied. My little Chihuahua/Min Pin mix....not so much. ;) She has learned to avoid the behavior that necessitated the crate in the first place...yay!

I love this crate. I was using a lifestyle crate and this is just like it but lighter. I did not need a heavy duty one as I set it up and leave it and when I am done, it will be cleaned and folded up and stored. In the smaller sizes, the lifestyle is taller but I got the 42 and they are the same. I got the divider too. Great durable cage for the money!

i was a little skeptical when i found this crate, but when i got it, it was great. It folds down easly for travel(which we do alot) and is the perfect size for my 6lb chihuahua. I would definatly recommend it, especially for how cheap it is!

This crate is a great value for the dog who is not constantly trying to escape. Thickness of wire is decent but not the super heavy of some "professional" crates. Since our dog is crate trained we have changed from a smaller heavy duty to this much more friendly version. Good quality, nice being black as easy to see your pet, and plenty of room. We have a standard poodle and there is plenty of room to stand, turn around and stretch out. Easy to set up. We have both the single door version and the double door version. Depending on layout each is suggested for purchase. Our double door version was purchased at a large pet store and both are dramatically cheaper here at Amazon.
