Zoovilla Merry Products Triple Door Medium Dog Crate - White | Indoor & Outdoor Pet Crate for Travel, Training & Home Use

I read most of the reviews AFTER I ordered this (I know, I know) and started to panic when a lot of them weren’t great, specifically about the flimsy locks for the doors. At that point, I figured I’d just have to wait and see for myself. My wait was shorter than expected as the crate arrived a day earlier than anticipated.I unboxed the crate and immediately inspected for defects or missing pieces. All pieces were accounted for but there was a very minor scratch on one of the trim pieces that go on towards the bottom. It was very small and I honestly can’t say if it was shipped like that or if I was not careful and made the scratch when unboxing. It was so tiny though so I was ok with it.The instructions state that it’s best to have two people assemble the dog crate but I did it myself and it was fairly simple. The instructions could be better; there were only pictures and they were not that great either but I was able to figure them out just fine. One thing I think is odd, is that there is a latch that goes on the inside of the double doors. I guess that maybe they added this to make them more secure after receiving customer feedback but it’s in a strange and inconvenient place. It does make those doors much more secure though. I tested how it sturdy the latches were on the double doors without that inside lock and they were pretty flimsy. I locked it back up and it’s very secure again. I have tiny hands so I can maneuver them in to flip the lock but I could see it being an issue for someone with regular to larger sized hands. Now, I have thought that maybe I put the lock on incorrectly but I aligned them with the pre drilled holes and followed the drawing on the instructions; I think it’s just the way it is.In truth, at one point during assembly I thought that it was not going to be sturdy at all but once I tightened the flat screw things (Idk what they’re called) it became much more structurally sound. Dare I say, it’s pretty sturdy! Just don’t turn the screws too tight.Once I finished with the assembly, I was relieved that the crate was better than how it’s described in many of the reviews. It’s super cute! I felt that it wasn’t necessary to use wood glue or attach additional latches, as some have, when I had everything together. I’m not opposed to doing so if I have to in the future, but i think it’ll keep my dog safe and secure as it is now.I will note that the tray that is included is a bit small, but I put my dog’s bed on top of it and that fits perfectly. I have an adult dog and this will work fine for us but, because there isn’t a bottom, I’d probably recommend another crate if you are buying for a puppy or to crate train.Speaking of my dog, I adopted him about a year ago. I bought a canvas crate when he first came home and he did not like it AT ALL. With this new crate though, he’ been lounging in there like he’s owned it for years. He appears very comfortable and seems to love it!Pros:AttractiveEasy to AssembleSturdyDog loves itConsWeird inside placement for extra lock for the double doors (that’s if I assembled it correctly)
