Had to remove as metal was flaking off into dog bed. No response from company.

I purchased this online for my 8, 12, and 15 lb Pomeranian. I have had these crates for almost 4 years now and they have held up really well. The bottom is similar to a painted wood and did scratch over time but my dogs like to dig their blankets to make fluffy beds. After almost 4 years they look nearly brand new. I get compliments all the time by company, family and even realtors who have seen our home with 9 dogs total. I would 100% recommend buying this. It was little hard to put together, not completely clear on directions and I did switch the doors to open opposite directions. I wish I had photos on my computer because it would make you buy this crate. Others mention the larger crate might not be good for bigger dogs. I bought the smaller crate but my 55 lb lab mix and my 60 lb rough collie both go in the crate. It's not ideal for their size but they have never damaged the crates. I would say if you have a calm dog and not one w/ anxiety this would be an amazing edition to your home!

This could be fine for a small quiet dog, returning item for poor workmanship and design flaws. The door hardware would not with stand a strong determined dog. The door stop would not work correctly because of interference from the wire screen put in by the manufacturer. That was the first thing to put on and we decided to go no further. I will have to go back to plastic crates.

As Assembling the crate I noticed that the crate is scratched on one side. Also one of the screws holding the metallic part is loose and doesn’t screw.
