 Buyer Beware February 22, 2008

I think it is great that all the other reviewers (and their pets) have had positive experiences with this product. I, unfortunately, have not. I left my 65 lb dog in his crate for 45 minutes only to come home to the wire on the door having broken welds and the wire bent up at my dog's eye level. I understand that some dogs will be able to damage their crates, I just feel that the crate should withstand my dog trying to reach a toy that ended up outside of his crate. This damage has not only made this brand new crate unusable, my dog could have been seriously injured had he been left for a longer period.
To make it worse, I was told by MidWest's customer service that the warranty will not cover anything because the damage was inflicted by the animal. I was told I should have "more thoroughly inspected the crate for any defects prior" to leaving my animal in it. So I guess I was supposed to check every single weld on every single wire on the entire crate before use. That is ridiculous. Further, no parts are replaceable (except the tray) and it is not possible to order a new door. I was told to go purchase a new crate at full price.
Be careful with this product. Apparently the warranty is void once your animal has been inside the crate. I gave it one star only because zero stars was not an option.

The product is well made and easy to use. This is our first experience with a crate and I am pleased that my dog considers it a home. We also have confidence that the dog is comfortable and safe as well as there will be no damges when we return home. We ordered an oversize crate and are glad that the dog has ample room to stand and move about which is an added plus. The crate is easy to fold and move so the larger size is no problem.
 Wonderful crate for a pup to grow into November 29, 2007

We purchased this crate for our new 10-lb Labrador pup (who will eventually be 80+ lbs), and I couldn't be happpier with it. I only wish I had known about it 10 years ago when we got our German Shepherd pup, as we purchased multiple crates to accomodate her growing size. There is little to no set-up needed, as it literally just pops right up when you take it out of the box. The construction is very durable, with rounded edges. I thought the pan in the bottom would be cold for my dog, but it's made of some material that seems to always be warm. The adjustable divider that comes with it is very easy to move. My pup is very happy in his space!

This is an upgrade from an "Intermediate" size plastic kennel that I used for my black lab. He outgrew the old one, and I just couldn't bear the thought of having to close the door on him in it when we travelled, so I had to buy a new one. This one is very roomy, and after a few days, I've found him going to it to lay in it on his own. Dare I say he looks even cuter curled up in this one?
This crate folds flat to about 2.5-3" thick and makes for easy transportation. Because it is metal, it is a little heavy. I had to carry it down 3 flights of stairs at a hotel last week, and it wasn't fun, but it was manageable.
A little tip: if you're upgrading from a plastic kennel like I did, the metal ones are completely rectangular which means that even if you got the same measurements, it would actually be a little bigger for the dog. I probably would have been just fine with one size smaller. I'm not exchanging though -- I like that my dog has plenty of room if we need to leave him alone for a few hours some day on the road.
On a side note, the box was torn pretty badly. The FedEx driver let me look at it before signing, and the crate itself was fine. Just mentioning this so that people keep an eye out in case there is actually some damage in shipment.

This crate was recommended by our breeder. After purchasing it through Amazon I now know why, it is the best item our puppy has to ensure a safe area for him to retreat to when he is done with his playtime. Also it is priceless in the housetraining process.
