MidWest Homes for Pets Solutions Series XXL Double Door 54-Inch Dog Crate for the Largest Breeds, Sturdy Drop Pin Assembly, Black E-Coated, SL54DD

This is perfect for what I needed. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the 30inch is perfect for her size. It was also incredibly easy to put together as you basically just have to pull up the sides and kind of snap it together. Also, my dog likes to paw at the door a lot at times and it holds up great to that. This was a great buy for the price and is probably worth more. It does need a crate pad to go into it but I currently have a blanket in there and that works for now also.

This crate saved our trip to Grandma's house! Our old crate was not locking correctly, so I had this one shipped overnight. This crate is high quality, easy to set up and large enough for our two Golden girls. The open sides means the air flow keeps the pups cool and allows them to see what's going on. The crate came with a divider, which would be perfect if you were crate training a puppy. (If the crate is too large young puppies are more likely to use the restroom in one side of the crate.) Ours kids can even break this crate down and slide it under a bed when we are not using it. It is a great value. I loved it so much I bought it twice!

Purchased the 42" iCrate with divider. PERFECT! Have a 50lb 10mo old Smooth Collie / Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler). He was sleeping in a 36" crate where his head and rear touched the ends of the crate. The extra 6" has made a world of difference. Opie can stretch out now... and doesn't come out 'unfolding' and acting like he's been in a vice all night. It's not quite the 'romper room' he has in the 48" iCrate, but again, this one is for "Night-Night"... and gives plenty of room for such.When we first got our puppy, we bought a 36" Beagle Crate from Walmart for $67. We were using the Beagle as his bed (in the bedroom) and needed a 2nd crate for the Family Room, but wanted a larger crate; one he could play in too. Then we found the iCrate by Midwest. The Beagle was very well made but much more expensive in comparison! After lengthy discussions whether to buy the 42" or the 48" we chose the larger 48"... and use it in the Den. Yes, he had a couple of accidents, but we put the divider in, and the accidents stopped. It's been about 4 months now and we've moved the divider a little at a time and it's finally out! No more accidents! Of course, he's also out of the crate more and has bells at the back door to tell us when he needs to go out. Anyway, we decided to replace the 36" Night Night crate with a 42"... and chose to stay with the iCrate because of durability and price. It comes with a divider, which we've not needed, but it's there... and we're thinking about maybe getting another dog (later in 2017). The divider may come in handy then!Double doors. Some have reported that the double doors make the crate weaker. I guess it just depends on the dog and his reaction to being crated. Opie has horrible separation anxiety, but with the help of a loaded Kong, a bone, and a dark room (yup, turn the lights off and say Night Night)... he does quite well. We only use the end door because of the relation to space and placement, but I don't think the double doors decrease the durability or strength at all.FYI --- The doors are large. Not so large to compromise the integrity of the crate, but larger than the doors on other crates I've seen. Nice!!!The latches are really nice. They are straight, which concerned me at first, but after using them I feel confident that they are safe.Also, the plastic pan in the bottom is really nice. It's not flimsy at all. It fits well, removes easily, and cleans up really well with a quick wipe.Collapsibility. Easy enough! It's big, so it's bulky. But it's not hard to collapse or expand.To unfold... Just pull up on a hinge until the box is evident, then pull out one end, then the other, lock it in place, and BAM... you have a crate.To fold... reverse the process. Oh, lock the doors in place first. Then fold in the door and backend walls. The side will fold down practically on it's own.It's like a really big briefcase. Of course, the larger the crate, the heavier, but... it even comes with a couple of 'suitcase' carrying handles. EASY! Breezy!Complaint --- The door actually opens the wrong way into the room I have crate in... and there's no other place to put it. I've turned the care upside down to put the door opening the correct direction for the room. However, the crate was not designed for this. The plastic bottom fits, but the door hangs a little different and is harder to latch. The wiring is tighter on the top than it is on the bottom of the crate, so upside down leaves the (now) top of the crate with large open squares. Some dogs could potentially get caught in their attempt to get out, and strangle themselves or cause damage to their ears. Since my dog is happy in his crate I don't see that as an issue for us... but I still watch for it. I just think it would be safer for the pet, possible make the crate more durable overall, and definitely more versatile for the owners' room arrangement, if the crate was made the same on the top and bottom.Hope my experience helps you in your decision. It's a great crate... Give it try!

I purchased this crate as a back up to keep up my sister’s house where I visit with my pup often. It arrived on time. It was easy to assemble and it folds down and has a handle for carrying. For the price, I was very impressed with the quality. I have paid twice as much for other crates of the same quality. This is a great bargain! The size was perfect!

Very large. Very well made cages. Only one downside and the reason it didn't get five stars was it comes with a plastic tray. That is not a good idea with big dogs. It needs to be a metal tray

This thing came boxed well with no damage upon receipt! It pulled up together good. I never did check the instructions so I can only guess I have it together properly. There is one extra piece I tossed on top. I recommend reading the directions but if you do not, it works perfectly for my 15 pound dog. I absolutely recommend the double door feature. It is totally worth the added cost! Thank you!

Fantastic dog bed. I’ve raised Anatolian shepherds for 15 years, both on and off-grid. I use these cages in the house, covered with a blanket, for each dog to have its own bed. I use these tops as you would table tops, as the cages are very strong and can hold a lot of weight. The dogs each have their private space where they can relax at will or where I can close them in if need be. Of course I line the floor with comfy stuff , depending on if I’m using it indoor or out. For the cages I keep outside I cover them with water and wind proof materials and stuff them with hay on top of layered cardboard for comfort and warmth. These cages are super durable and convenient.

I ordered this 30" Midwest crate from Amazon, for my 12 lb Affenpinscher (very, very small dog), having great previous success with a larger crate that's served my larger Belgian Malinois mix very well. I opted for the 30" size, as my intended use is as a night-time sleeping area -- no need to minimize size for portability.This create has slightly-thicker metal than my other crate, appears sturdily-built and exhibits great welds.I'm very glad that I opted for the model that includes a side door (Midwest offers models with and without side doors), as I've found side entry perfect for my Affenpinscher. He happily enters the crate, each night, and lies down in his bed.I would happily select this brand, again.
