zoovilla Merry Products Triple Door Medium Dog Crate, Color White

I read most of the reviews AFTER I ordered this (I know, I know) and started to panic when a lot of them weren’t great, specifically about the flimsy locks for the doors. At that point, I figured I’d just have to wait and see for myself. My wait was shorter than expected as the crate arrived a day earlier than anticipated.I unboxed the crate and immediately inspected for defects or missing pieces. All pieces were accounted for but there was a very minor scratch on one of the trim pieces that go on towards the bottom. It was very small and I honestly can’t say if it was shipped like that or if I was not careful and made the scratch when unboxing. It was so tiny though so I was ok with it.The instructions state that it’s best to have two people assemble the dog crate but I did it myself and it was fairly simple. The instructions could be better; there were only pictures and they were not that great either but I was able to figure them out just fine. One thing I think is odd, is that there is a latch that goes on the inside of the double doors. I guess that maybe they added this to make them more secure after receiving customer feedback but it’s in a strange and inconvenient place. It does make those doors much more secure though. I tested how it sturdy the latches were on the double doors without that inside lock and they were pretty flimsy. I locked it back up and it’s very secure again. I have tiny hands so I can maneuver them in to flip the lock but I could see it being an issue for someone with regular to larger sized hands. Now, I have thought that maybe I put the lock on incorrectly but I aligned them with the pre drilled holes and followed the drawing on the instructions; I think it’s just the way it is.In truth, at one point during assembly I thought that it was not going to be sturdy at all but once I tightened the flat screw things (Idk what they’re called) it became much more structurally sound. Dare I say, it’s pretty sturdy! Just don’t turn the screws too tight.Once I finished with the assembly, I was relieved that the crate was better than how it’s described in many of the reviews. It’s super cute! I felt that it wasn’t necessary to use wood glue or attach additional latches, as some have, when I had everything together. I’m not opposed to doing so if I have to in the future, but i think it’ll keep my dog safe and secure as it is now.I will note that the tray that is included is a bit small, but I put my dog’s bed on top of it and that fits perfectly. I have an adult dog and this will work fine for us but, because there isn’t a bottom, I’d probably recommend another crate if you are buying for a puppy or to crate train.Speaking of my dog, I adopted him about a year ago. I bought a canvas crate when he first came home and he did not like it AT ALL. With this new crate though, he’ been lounging in there like he’s owned it for years. He appears very comfortable and seems to love it!Pros:AttractiveEasy to AssembleSturdyDog loves itConsWeird inside placement for extra lock for the double doors (that’s if I assembled it correctly)

It looked so nice but that second I left my puppy (mini schnauzer) alone for 35 min to run an errand, he chewed through both doors! He was able to escape once he chewed one stick and left a mess throughout the house. Not durable at all if there’s a chance your dog could chew. So disappointed that it lasted a whopping 35 min. I had ordered a second for another dog, but returned it as soon as it delivered. Total trash. The removeable tray in the bottom is smaller so if they have an accident, it can leak onto the floor. Directions were confusing. The wood under the side door kept falling off.

I purchased two of these. Three if count the wrong product I recieved through Amazon warehouse and needed to return. I broke a nail and busted my knuckles trying to get that box to UPS. Thanks Amazon! Read the box and make sure it's what your ordered before opening if coming through Amazon Warehouse.My dachshunds love them and they've held up well, but my dachshunds already loved being in their wire crates. It took them a moment to warm up to the change because these didn't smell great right out of the box.These are great for dogs that enjoy their crates and don't have a chewing problem. The doors are attached with small hinges and a weak latch that could easily be pushed open by an uncomfortable dog, and there are countless reviews here from dogs who weren't on board with crate training.My grandson has pulled on the bars several times and I'm always worried he'll break them but so far they've survived. Maybe not the best choice for a family with small children who will climb in them, kick them or pull on the bars.Easy to assemble following the directions included. I wasn't paying attention on the second one because the first one was so easy, and had to take it apart and fix my careless mistake.All in all, I'm happy with the purchase. They look great in my living room. The dogs go in these on their own for daytime naps and often put themselves to bed at night before it's time. If I say "Let's go to bed" they usually run to their crates with tails wagging.

Bought for cats who are trained to overnight in a crate. Were in a larger soft crate, but this is attractive and more furniture-like for the house.Easy to assemble solo. Cats seem happy enough (are purring).

I put my 2 Chihuahuas in here at night. Each dog is 7 lbs. They hate it. I can't get them to go to bed at night now. So, now I have to sell it I guess. I have no idea why they hate it. They're not exactly squished, but maybe they like the ample space of their old cage. I don't know. They're both female and they always snuggle together anyways, so I figured they wouldn't mind. But I guess I'm wrong. Anyways, this crate is beautiful and well made. There is no bottom to it, but why would you need one? Just put your padded dog bed in there. Some reviews complained that their dogs destroyed it with their teeth. Yeah.... duh. If you have a dog that chews on it's cage, then it's going to chew through this! Duh! It's not made of steel. If they scratch like crazy, don't get this! Also, if you're using this in your bedroom at night and your dog tends to put their paws up high on the cage as if to say, "Let me out" and they lean on the doors of this crate, then the doors are going to make this loud sound as they buckle out. I'll explain: They put double hinges on the doors (which I really don't understand whatsoever). So when the dog leans on the door, it buckles outward. The dog can't get out, but it's really, really annoying if you're trying to sleep!!
