MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate

The crate went together well, sturdy, door latches securely. The claps to latch when the crate is folded up are a poor design so we removed them with pliers and the ends of the metal on the front edge by the doors are pretty sharp, going to have to figure a way to file those as that’s a cut paw waiting to happen. Always been happy with items bought from chewy but this crate, not so much.

They are a good choice for the money. They are the only crate that is 24 inches high for the 30 inch long crate. They are a full 3 inches taller than competitors. That is needed headroom for the size dog they suggest. Most other crates are 21 inches tall and dogs have to hunch over. Two doors are a benefit for different options for placement in a room.

First of all the name of this crate should be "EXTREME HEAVY DUTY CRATE" with emphasis on HEAVY DUTY. I ordered the 36". This thing weighs about a ton and is basically impossible to put together. With three people working on it, we were never even able to get the divider panel in, and many pinched fingers later it still wasn't put together. There is no way I would ever be able to move this crate on my own, and even with 2 people it was a challenge. I had read a lot of good things about the MidWest brand but I really don't know who would ever find a use for this product. After returning this product I ordered the "Frisco Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate, 36 inch."

It's basically the same product but 100x lighter in weight, while still being sturdy, and we put it together in 2 seconds! Please save yourself the frustration, and go get the Frisco create instead. I really wish Chewy would remove this product from their website or at least put some kind of disclaimer. … more

We are having a new puppy soon, we got the 42 inches one for a vizsla. The packing is abit broken but the crate is fine, it is heavier than I thought and it's hard for me to carry it / move it alone. I cleaned the whole crate with some diluted hydrogen peroxide, however the plastic tray has a strong plastic smell, I had to remove it from the crate and sit it aside with a fan blowing air to it, hopefully the smell will be gone soon cause I'm getting the puppy next week. If you getting this crate I suggest you buy it bit earlier and let the tray sit outdoor or good air circulation place for days before usage.

Ordered this for my newest Rottie Pup Dean, several months back when he was 4 months old. We used the divider for a little while until we were sure he wasn't going to potty inside of it. We then removed it and gave him full access and he's been doing great with it and going inside on his own at night ever since. It's very well made, and quite sturdy. I love the fact it has 2 doors on it. He's a week from 9 months old now and close to his adult height with plenty of room still to grow if needed. As you can see below in the picture, he loves to pose for the camera :)

I bought this crate because my 4 month old lab was outgrowing the plastic one that was loaned to me. It was super easy to set up and is very sturdy. My lab uses it only at night to sleep in and it gives him lots of room to grow. He goes right in at night.

Had this set up and ready to go when my new husky pup arrived. He loves it! It is well built and has all the conveniences in mind. I did go ahead and buy a water bottle to attach to the side of the crate since he loves to play in his water bowl and I got tired of mopping up water!

I have purchased 14 MidWest crates and 4 MidWest xpens over the years. They are great. Good price and they last longer than any other kenneling type product I have had. I paid $90 for a small crate at a pet store once and it didn’t hold up at all. I heard about MidWest products from animal boarding professionals. They aren’t just great for the money — they are great because they are a great product! They are long lasting, especially the ones from Chewy. The only issue I ever had was with one I bought someplace else. It arrived bent and a piece was broken so I only buy them from Chewy now. They are so long lasting that when I no longer need a certain size I donate them to rescue organizations I have purchased 14 MidWest crates and 4 MidWest xpens over the years. They are great.

The dimensions listed on the website are not the actual dimensions listed on the box. Be advised it is not 24 by 18 by 19. It's 25.3 by 20.25 by 19.75.

My dog is 55lbs and I bought this one because it is 27" tall. It is a little snug for him but it will do! We only use it at night. The only negative thing is that one of the doors is really stiff but im sure with time it will loosen up.
