Before reading the rest of the review be aware that I bought this crate 'Used' so I expected "cosmetic damages" as the description stated. With caring for as many as 20 rescue cats and kittens at one time, I have crates of all sizes and from most major brands on Amazon. Finding a crate for 1/2 price is always a 'score'.This crate is by FAR the most well-built crate I have owned. It is extraordinarily sturdy and this is immediately noticeable when you pick up the box, as it is very heavy. The design is unique and (for me) there were some positive and negative aspects to this. The garage-style door is something I have needed for a long time, since I often join multiple crates together. Not having to remove a door saves a lot of work. Just lift it up and out of the way.The design of the latching system on the front door was frustrating to me, but I wasn't able to tell whether it was the door design or a result of the many bent wires the crate arrived with (beware that this is what was referred to as "cosmetic damage". I finally removed the door handle and now the door functions easily. Either way, I like this system more than the normal bar and loop latch.Both doors are HUGE! This allows me to remove, clean and return any size litter box without dumping dirty litter on the crate or my kennel floor while trying to wiggle the box out. Love this feature!I have always relied on Midwest to find reliable, quality products I need to sustain my foster home, at a reasonable price. But with this crate they have exceeded all my expectations! Worth every penny.Note that I have given a 5 star rating for 'traveling' as well, but the weight of this crate may not make it your best option for that purpose.
