Cesar Millan Medium Dog Crate, 30 x 19 x 22-in

This crate looks fantastic! Since I live in an apartment, I didn't want to get a crate that looks like a wired cage, I was so happy to found this one, which looks like a very nice peace of furniture. My pets love it so much! It's like a "pet condo". Contrary to negative reviews, this item is very easy to install, all you need to do is: (1) put all the peaces in front of you on the floor, then read the instruction. (2) Now that you read the instruction, rearrange the order of the peaces, as they will connect to each other. (3) Put the appropriate screws and wooden connectors on the proper peaces. You are ready to go! If you follow this advice, you won't be disappointed. The crate is no only good looking, but it is VERY STRONG! The wire part is also very strong! Every parts clicks together like the Swiss clock work! Nothing is lose, everything is even and in balance. Just follow the instruction I gave you above, you won't be disappointed. If something does not feet, or feel loose, it is because you made a mistake, you tried to connect the wrong parts. As I said, all parts should click together like the Swiss clock work! I love this product and highly recommend it to every one! ...perhaps not those who don't like to read/follow instruction.

I value reviews when buying items online or even in stores. I have to say I was very hesitant to buy this item due to the negative reviews. Glad I opted to try it out. It looks fantastic. My dog loves it. I have no idea why people think it is so difficult to put together. It was simple. It was put together in about 20 minutes. No problems!!!

We didn't have any of the issues most people are having. My 12 year old daughter put it together in about 30 min. The instructions were not great but not hard to figure out. No issues with hardware. We used tool that was provided and our own as well. I don't see the wood holding out without a protective mat on the bottom, will be purchasing one. We will be watching the latch after reading another review, sure it can be easily fixed with a little imagination.

I had no issues putting the crate together, but once together we realized that the measurements were for the outside dimensions and the actual kennel size was 2-3 inches smaller (even more so for the height, as it included the uneven legs) than what was advertised.

This crate is beautiful but not practical as the wood interior would not stand up to water spills etc. HOWEVER, I was able to buy boot tray with carpet liner that fit like custom made. That solves the water problem as long as there is not a major spill. Another criticism would have to be the difficult assembly. The instructions aren't very good, and the cam lock mechanisms are difficult to get in just the right depth. Having said that, I would buy another one as it beats looking at ugly dog crates in the living room! I have one of those that I keep in the mud room.
