Title: Good Crate
Review: I really like this crate and will purchase again if needed. The crate is sturdy and easily put together. The measurements were exact and have enough room for pet. The only issue will be the one latch depending on your pet. It works for my pet and satisfied.

Title: Easy to assemble. Works well.
Review: This is a great crate for my dog. It’s large so that he can move around in it during the daytime when we go out for a few hours. We call it his playpen. It’s sturdy, Oxwell, and doesn’t try to come apart.

Title: Wonderful Crate!
Review: I bought the crate for my 4 month old Lab mix. The cage has lived up to every expectation I could hope for. It sets up in about a minute, and is the perfect home for my pup. The cage, is more than sturdy enough for my dog. The bars do not bend or give at all unless you were forcibly trying with all your might to ruin the cage. Breaking it is certainly not within the strength of a dog. The locks function nicely. The cage is easy to transport and collapses easily if you ever need to store it some where. For the price, you honestly will not find a better cage.-Very Sturdy, yet Inexpensive-Locks function perfectly-Sets up and breaks down very easily-Easy to store-Doesn't come apart once set upYou will not regret this purchase!

Title: Very Useful, Affordable, Time Saving and More
Review: I ordered this kennel to house my two foster dogs who are both under 10 lbs. I bought the 30 inch with the divider, and it has been plenty big enough for them. They are both able to turn around comfortably and sprawl out on all fours if needed, and there is still a little more room. I took the divider out before I let them go in it, so I don't know how well using that would go. I have been using this kennel for them for about 5-6 weeks now.Pros:-Arrived right on time. Important since my fosters needed a kennel to stay in fast. They are chewers and markers and soon showed that they could not stay in the room with a baby gate for long unsupervised. They quickly peed all over the bed and on the floor, and also started chewing on the wall and door frame. The kennel helps them stay out of trouble when I can't be home or can't watch them while they run around the house. It has prevent more damage to my walls.-Really, really great for when you can't supervise your pets. Saved me tons of time by preventing them from marking as much or soiling bedding on my bed from them jumping on it and peeing everywhere. I don't know why they pee on bedding, but they do. The first time they peed on my bed, I spent hours washing everything and spraying my mattress with white vinegar/water/baking soda mixture to remove stains+drying the mattress. I did not want to repeat that, so the kennel helps in those moments I can't watch them to ensure they stay off the bed.-Easy slide single latch for quick opening. I've never had an issue with them getting it open.-Latch on bottom in front to hold kennel tray into place. Prevents it from sliding out during travel or use.-Easy to clean. I can wipe off accidents, dirt, or throw up easily with a cloth. Then I just spray with some vinegar and water to safely disinfect. Also dries fairly quickly.-Folds up easily for travel. Also slides well into back seat and opens back up easily in car to transport dogs in kennel. Has been extremely useful for this purpose, since again, my fosters are chewers and will chew on seat belts (potentially costing unnecessary money to repair), and their car harnesses. I actually decided to stop using harnesses for them, and just keep them in the kennel, because they kept trying to chew the harnesses off. I was concerned they would get loose in the car and be unsafe walking around unrestrained, or as the littler one likes to do, hop into my lap and down onto the floor around my feet (dangerous when driving). Using this kennel eliminated that problem and gave me peace of mind while driving. A huge beneficial factor. Not only that, but I don't have to keep buying new harnesses because of them chewing them off. Another save of money.-Very affordable. At only $26 dollars for a $30 inch, this was a huge deciding factor in me getting this brand of kennel. For those who foster, this is a huge relief, because rehabilitating animals is not cheap.Cons:-I really only have one, and that the sharp edges in some places on the kennel. There are spots where the metal bars are welded together and they are not rounded down. This leaves sharp edges with the potential to leave cuts. I was closing the kennel one day and one of the sharp points actually gave me a little cut on my hand. Nothing major, but a little sting. I've heard reviews where dogs trying to nose or paw out of the kennel have gotten cut up by these sharp points. This is a very significant concern and a disappointing issue to have on an otherwise great product. The company should address this and ensure all future manufactured products have sanded down these rough points on the bars to ensure the safety of the animals and their handlers/pet parents. They could also provide information to previous customers about how to safely round off these points on products already purchased. For me it has not been a huge issue because my foster dogs don't attempt to nose or paw the cage very much, but it was alarming when my hand was cut a little while closing the kennel one day. I recommend inspecting the entire kennel before use and safely sanding down all the sharp points, or having someone else who knows how to do it safely sand it down for you. Because of this issue, I must give 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise very good product!Despite the rough edges, I would buy again, including in larger sizes for use with other dogs, but would look into sanding down the rough points. This has just been extremely helpful and affordable for me as a foster and saved me so much money and stress by preventing issues that can occur from animals. I would recommend.UPDATE 8/16/17I recently ordered another of this size of kennel. It's clear they changed the texturing on the kennel pan, but I don't mind that. I'm having a significant problem setting up and breaking down the new kennel though; the alignment seems to be off or something when I try to latch the different parts together or take them apart. We actually have to lodge a key between the parts to pry them apart without smooshing our fingers. Not sure what happened with this item compared to the first one. Never had problems setting up our first kennel like this. Not happy with the issue, but it's an inexpensive kennel, which we like. I'm not going to dock any stars because it's still a good deal and we like the product in general.

Title: Great product
Review: I have a 5lb chihuahua and she has plenty of room in this crate. It fits a small bed and room for a water dish. The product itself is very sturdy and looks good. It does what it is designed to do. I do not use the divider that is provided so i can't speak on that. But its a great product and I have no issues with it.

Title: Well built, good size
Review: Easy to assemble, seems easy to collapse when you need to transport it (without the dog inside). Simple design, easy to use. Our Great Dane puppy (4mo) is sitting in the second to largest size of that helps give you reference.
