Yaheetech Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate, Black, 42-inch

Pro: Easy set up Con: the doors are almost impossible to open (handle is nearly impossible to slide) This could be the only bad one but wanted to bring it to customer services attention

Yes, I do realize I should have stopped everything, taken my life in my hands with my mean as snot foster cat and measured my current 42 inch crate to ensure this was the same size. Buuuut, every 42 inch crate I've ever ordered has been the same size, give or take a small amount. Until now. This crate is EASILY 3 inches smaller height and width wise than every 42 inch crate I own. And I'm not gonna lie, I own more than the normal person as I attach them together so I can safely contain feral foster momma cats while allowing them more room than just a single crate or cat cage. So, when I got this delivered and attempted to attach it to a current 42 inch crate I have I was not only shocked at how small it was, but was left scrambling to figure out a way to still use it for my current spicy momma. Now, fortunately, I'm just trying to corral cats. Cause, this thing is WAAAAAY too light weight and cheaply made to contain any version of a dog that you would buy a 42 inch crate for. Fortunate for me cause I could quickly and easily bend it to my will. Not so fortunate for anyone actually trying to contain any larger animal as they could EASILY just push their way out via the doors or maybe even just bend through the wires. Well...maybe not the doors. Cause the door neither closes or opens easily. I have yet to figure out how to lift or move or push the door to make the two latches actually slide open without using an inordinate amount of force and a whoooole looot of wiggling. In truth...it would probably be easier to just bend the door open than work the latches. But, I do suppose that would make the crate completely unusable versus most useless. Alas, I obviously do not suggest buying one unless you need a quick, cheap, small cat/dog, throw away crate for some reason. Cause it's probably a solid 3.5 stars in that category. But for a crate that you plan to actually use? Definitely a solid "absolutely returning this one" single star rating!

I bought this crate for my pup who is tall but small bodied. The crate ended up being wider than higher which is on me. The wiring isn’t as good quality as my Midwest crate, but it does its job. It came a little bent in spots, but I didn’t have the time to write in or really care. It does what I need it to do. I wish the long side door opened the other way but overall good purchase and fast shipping
