So many issues
I have two GSDs that I need to separate occasionally, so I purchased this crate for my female. The good - it is a large enough crate for my male shepherd (120lbs) to fit and move around comfortably (if he'd go inside, which he won't). The bad - it was an absolute nightmare to assemble. I don't know if it was the way the crate was manufactured or if it happened during delivery but the sides were essentially jammed into each other and took three people and a few hours to un-jam the sides just to complete basic assembly. The crate came with a divider, which I need for my smaller female shepherd, and it is useless. The divider is not a correct height and pulls in a way that will buckle the crate in the center, and you cannot use the tray and divider at the same time. If I had the energy and manpower to disassemble I'd return it.
MidWest LifeStages Single Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate
As mentioned in numerous reviews, this crate also has burrs on over half of the wire ends. The burrs are very sharp and have the potential to cause injuries to pets and people. With the amount of wires that were not deburred, it is obvious the manufacturing process is lacking. Corrective action would be a simple fix. However, it appears Midwest is not too concerned. The crate is very sturdy. Fit, form, and function, is satisfactory. Note to metals trade artisans: Be willing and prepared to deburr the wire ends, and name plate.
Lifestages crate Size
I have always loved the life stages but Midwest did change the size of these crates. And they don't match up to the packaging. I bought 3 just to replace the ones that was rusting from being older, now I have to buy 3 more just for them to line up. I do dog shows and it doesn't look professional when you have multiple sizes. Also when your dogs can range from 17.5-20.5 you need to now adjust and go with larger crates for the larger pup. I sure wouldn't want to be cramped up all day because of a crate. Sure wished Midwest would of made an announcement so chewy and others could change the sizing. but we the customer have to find out the hard way and like in my situation now have to buy even more than what was really needed. The newer crates also tend to not go together as well and seem not as sturdy compared to the original ones. 3 star is more for midwest and not chewy. As its not chewys fault if the manufacture doesn't make the proper adjustment to the labels.
Exactly what I was looking for
I had a large crate for a dog I had a while back, and I figured I could try to make it work for my new Scottish Terrier pup, Cleo. I tried using a couple different methods to close off some of the crate to limit her space but sure enough, none of them worked and she still found a way to make space to go potty in there. I realized I needed to buy a whole new crate that’s an appropriate size for her, and one that has a divider so it can expand as she gets older. I have an adult male Scottie already so I used his measurements to find an appropriate sized crate that would just leave enough space for him to lay down, stand up and turn around (he is fully potty trained and doesn’t use a crate anymore, but the new pup will grow to be the same size and I wanted to ensure that if she still needs it by the time she’s an adult, she can still fit). When the packaged arrived in less than a week, I opened up the box and set the crate up with the divider. It took less than 5 min total. Both dogs were immediately curious and playing in the crate. The divider is definitely my favorite feature of this product, along with the removable tray. The quality is excellent for the price, and I definitely would recommend this product for anyone with an adult dog or a growing puppy!
Warning - sizes wrong in listing vs product
Quality for other MidWest products has been good and perhaps this crate is too, but unfortunately the sizes are wrong as another reviewer stated - listed larger than the actual size. For example, I purchased the medium which was supposed to be 30 x 21 x 23 per listing and size guide image, but it's actually 30.67 x 19.3 x 21.46 per the box. I see this is an issue on another crate of this brand too - the 2 door version. The manufacturer may have changed sizes and listings weren't updated to correctly reflect the current item.
Not for big dogs
Unfortunately this didn't work out for my dog. It was way to flimsy for my large dog. He wasted no time breaking out. Do not recommend for more powerful dogs.
Excellent Quality
This crate is of excellent craftmanship, sturdy, has 2 notches for locking the door and seems quite safe and comfy for our 57lbs lab-pit mix. The only con was it took 2 of us to put it together the way the layers stuck together perhaps in shipment or design - we couldn't tell.
Crate Comfort
Perfect crate for providing a safe place when Robin needs to be quiet and also share space with family and guests. She can see everyone yet not be causing concern. She also has breakfast in her crate with door open, dinner with door closed. We have three, one for the bedroom and one for the lower level where we spend a good deal of time.
Not size advertised
I paid more for this crate because I like Midwest and because it was the dimensions I was looking for. I wanted a crate that was 24” wide. I had ordered expensive crate pads that replace the pan. This crate is not 24” in width, it’s is 22.8”. I am now left with crate pads that do not fit because of poor item description. Very disappointed. If Chewy knew this was a problem, they should have adjusted the description accordingly.
Great sturdy crate
I bought this crate to use in my van for traveling to dog events. It’s a very sturdy crate and I’m sure it will hold up well to use. I’ve always been happy with Midwest crates.
