Evolv Dog Crate I Strong and Modular Design I Sturdy Playpen I Paw Safe Mesh I Built to Last for Puppies and Canines I (30’L x 19”W x 21”H) (Medium, Ash)

This is a really nice crate... very solid, clean looking, rounded edges, interior movable divider. Note that this is heavy for its respective size.. but its also good quality. but if you're constantly moving between rooms or weekend house it can be a lot, especially with no handle. However it is relatively easy too take apart and reassemble (does not fold). I purchased 2 and the one had a small burr on the one metal piece. The cage sides are solid / better than on cheap create and i don't see my aussidoodle being able to bend it by chewing. It has a squeeze type latch which is nice, quite, satisfying when closed. White has a nice clean look in your home without getting into a furniture crate. Expensive but you're getting much higher quality than most. Recommended.

Instructions said 20 minutes perhaps with two people. Took about an hour. When I first attempted assembly the pieces were very cold. Did not want to cooperate. Let it come to room temperature and much easier to match up corners. Once that happened a snap (or twist) to put together. Note I did mess up the door opening direction, but maybe I'll get ambitious and correct my mistake. Great crate, my 3 month old golden doodle loves it. Very sturdy thus a bit heavy, not easily moved. Latch is pretty good although the squeeze is a bit rough for arthritic hands and you must jiggle a bit to line up the latch slots. But I love it, what a wonderful training aid for new pups. It was the one recommended by breeder and trainer. I use a bungee cord to hold the door open when it is time for pup to roam in and out of the crate.

Pieces did not go together easily or well. Plastic pieces broke after first effort to put crate together. THIS WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER BUYING THIS AGAIN.

Purchased this for our Italian Greyhound puppy. She is our fourth IG, so we’ve been down this road before. Our puppy immediately went into the medium Evolv (30”) on in her own lured with only her blanket and a furrybaby dog bed mat 30x19 on the bottom (perfect fit). So much more inviting and attractive than those black wire gages and crappy plastic boxes. Easy to assembly, easy to keep clean, doors work great and there are no sharp edges. It is her safe place. “Crate training” was not necessary - amazing. We cover the Evolv with a blanket at night to make it even cozier. Bought a second Evolv for upstairs bedroom - we put a standard dog bed with high booster sides in this one.

Slim frame crate with puppy divider. Diamond style wire in a large size ensures great airflow. The extra pieces they include came in handy. Great customer service support also. One of the openers is still not working correctly. All in all a good product
