Frisco XX-Large Heavy Duty Double Door Wire Dog Crate, 54 inch

I was really excited to purchase this crate for my German shepherd! When it arrived I couldn't wait to open it and get it assembled. 1 person can assemble it, although it would be much easier with 2 people. I noticed right away the panel was bent. When I was adding the back panel to the side I saw the metal loops were bent as well. I had to straighten out 3 just to get the metal poles in. I guess it could have been damaged during shipping because it only had styrofoam at the top and bottom. Also, when I tried to secure the tray at the bottom the tray was too big. So when I attached the clasp to the crate, the tray bowed up. There wasn't enough room. I just used a zip tie to keep the tray in. I was really excited to purchase this crate for my German shepherd!

If you have a dog that th ries to escape or is roudy you may want to try a different brand. Luckily my dog doesn't try to escape. It is very spacious and my boy loves it already! … more

This kennel was not the easiest thing to put together. It is super heavy. My finger and skin were pinched several times while putting it together. This kennel does not fold down for easy mobility like smaller wire kennels. Once this kennel is put together, it stays where it is. It is more of a permanent kennel. Some of the wires were bent when it arrived, nothing that pliers couldn't bend back though. My german shepherd no longer fit in the Xl sized kennel so I got this one which makes him look like a puppy in it. This kennel is huge. I am 5'1 and this kennel comes up to my chest or clavicle bones to give you an idea.

This 52" XXL Frisco crate is perfect for a large breed dog. Our 7 month, 70 pound golden doodle has plenty of room to stretch out and move freely after outgrowing his 42" crate. It has 3 latches to accommodate the front gate. My husband put it together himself with no problem. One panel was dented on the end, but he was able to make it work. I included a photo comparing the 52" crate next to a 42" crate for comparison.

We bought this for our great dane because she needed something big enough for when we leave the house because she is still a puppy (8months) and will chew. Well, it turns out our chocolate lab loves it too! Both will sleep in it together if the door is open for them as you can see in the pic. I was shocked at how big it was and even more shocked that both dogs want in it and fit comfortably. It is sturdy, not cheaply made and perfect if you have a big dog.

This kennel is HUGE! It’s bigger than what I thought but Bud loves it. The double door would be a nice feature IF the side door actually worked. It’s off on alignment so it doesn’t latch right. It was a pain to put together since it’s all in separate pieces and doesn’t pull up like most kennels. It is sturdy and works great though so I would purchase again especially since it was on sale.

The box that the crate arrived in was not damaged, however, many parts inside the box were bent. It took a few hours to assemble this. I spent a considerable amount of time with pliers, trying to straighten pieces out, and reshape crushed loops for the pins to fit through. Since none of the pieces fit together correctly, the roof also cannot be fully secured. The lip of the plastic tray is too big, and the tray doesn't fit flat in the bottom of the crate, nor can the flip latch be secured to keep the tray from sliding out.

I was excited to get this for my dog, hes a full blood lab. He absolutely loves it. However it took me 2 hours to put together because the instructions were not helpful. A close up of someones hand pointing at something doesnt help. A lot of the pieces were bent and I had to literally bend the metal to get the pieces into place. I absolutely will not ever put another one of these together again. Also the latches do not match up and the lock goes under the piece its supposed to go into. Again, everything on this kennel was bent so bad it wouldnt go together right.

Getting the crate unboxed and later getting rid of the packing material was tougher than the assembly. Two caveats: 1) Don't try this alone and 2) Watch: https://www.chewy.com/frisco-xx-large-heavy-duty-double/dp/125053# If you have a giant dog this is what you want.

We just got a German Shepherd puppy and this crate will not be outgrown ever! This crate is huge! If you have a large breed dog this crate is the best on the market. We have one small issue with FedEx and their timing. This crate arrived 2 days late due to its size. Be expecting a small delay with FedEx, but still buy this cage. The price and the product is worth every penny.

This crate has afforded my Dane the room to be comfortable at night. He’s able to stand and sit without “ducking” down. Strongly recommend following the instructions to have 2 for construction. Took me 3 hours doing it alone but worth it!
