Review on ๐ŸšŒ Malta Tour Transport Box by Trixie by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 2 out of 5

High expectations but disappointment!

I had high hopes for this cage but was very disappointed when it arrived. There were no reviews but it looked like a new and innovative design. What I didn't like about the drawer is that although it is smooth when folded, it is very difficult to assemble. I have the Sof-Krate and it's a lot easier to set up (I liked how it folded up and was easier to carry around). The middle of the TRIXIE transport box and the two sides must be completely separated with a zipper in order to fold the box for storage or transport. One of the sides is open, you need to carefully fold the middle piece of fabric and put it in one of the side plastic sleeves - then put another plastic sleeve on top and then try to find where the zipper is and fasten it. from one of the plastic sides to the other to the zipper. The sides also need to be zipped down the middle of the mounting webbing, and this isn't easy and near-impossible if you had to hold your dog while doing it. If you love opening and closing zippers, as well as stringing together two-piece zippers, this drawer will provide you with hours of fun. It's worse than a zipper on a jacket that's misaligned, and it takes a few tries to zip it up and you have to hold onto a flexible piece of plastic to do it. What I also didn't like is that the side panels, which are white in the picture, are painted black inside the cage where the dog is supposed to be. It's the perfect pitch black cave if that's what you're looking for, but again it's not suitable for my purposes as I think it would be too hot. Imagine yourself locked in a plastic box, the inside of which is painted black. Also, the mesh is VERY thick, it hardly lets any light through fabric or ventilation. I think this drawer could be amazing if you didn't have to completely remove the center fabric AND if it could be folded in seconds instead of minutes and if the mesh didn't let air in and if the inside was simpler. Colour. If you want to play around with a zipper that's difficult to line up because you're attaching a piece of fabric to a stronger piece of plastic and give it a try, this is your box!
