Pretty easy to put together, seems sturdy

By CTMC on Jan 6, 2021

The crate itself seems sturdy, and I was able to put it together by myself. I had to slide a plastic bin up against the first side to hold it up, but I didn't need a 2nd person.

I had to slide a plastic bin up against the first side to hold it up, but I didn't need a 2nd person. I got this crate for our German Shepherd who had hip replacement surgery yesterday and needs to stay pretty stationary while he recovers. While we wait for him to come home, our 130 lb Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd is trying it out (pic attached). He has plenty of room in the crate, and he is taller and longer than our GSD, so I know it will be a great recovery crate for him. I also got the pad for the bottom of the crate. The only thing I didn't like is that 2 or 3 of the panels were slightly bent (still able to be put together, but it made it more difficult). It seems like they were damaged in shipping, but my box wasn't damaged at all. However, all of the zip ties were cut, so it seems like maybe someone returned a crate that was damaged in shipping and then badly damaged panels were replaced, but ones with little or no damage were left. I don't know for sure if this is the case, but that's what it seems like. I need the crate for my dog who is coming home from the hospital tomorrow, so I made it work, but I would have considered returning it and asking for a replacement if I had more time. … more
