- What size dog fits in this crate?
- It is built for mini dogs up to about 10 kg. Measure your dog's length and standing height and compare with the interior before buying; a medium breed will not fit.
- Does it work as a real piece of furniture?
- Yes. The flat top takes a lamp, plant or tray, and the two drawers hold leashes and toys. That is the main reason to choose it over a wire crate.
- Is airflow a problem with solid wood sides?
- It is more enclosed than a wire crate, so ventilation depends on the openings in the design. In a warm room, check that air moves through before leaving a dog inside for long periods.
- How much assembly does it need?
- It ships flat and needs to be put together with the included hardware. Two people make it easier because the panels are bulky and the finished unit is heavy.
- Can I use it for crate training a puppy?
- It can work, but puppies chew, and wood is easier to damage than metal. Line the floor, expect some marks, and size the interior so the puppy has just enough room to stand and turn.
- How do I clean it?
- Wipe the wood with a damp cloth and use a removable mat or bed inside that you can wash. Avoid soaking the panels, since moisture can warp the finish.
