You must have hands and be able to repair parts.

I read all the reviews so I wasn't surprised when the box broke. I wanted to build it from scratch but decided to give it a try. The assembly was quite easy. All parts are numbered and the pre-drilled holes match well. Panels on two parts of the roof were broken and cracked, and the hinged part of the roof splintered. I have made repairs or new parts and everything is fine. I wasn't too worried about the roof as it's made of pressed cardboard and I expected it to warp within a year. I willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • makes me angry

Poor workmanship on boxes, houses and pens

Be sure to order one size larger for your dog. This design is of poor quality. The assembly starts smoothly with the walls, but then becomes a problem. Huge gap around the door where the floors meet. I had to take an extra piece of wood to fill the gap, then I also had to put two pieces of wood under the bottom to stabilize it, otherwise the bottom would fall off. The roof is very heavy and the hinges cannot support the weight of the roof. A loop did not work properly, production was not closed

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Empty

Definitely recommend but watch out for damage in transit

Should be a 5 star rating. If not for damage in transit. One side panel had a broken plastic leg cover as well as large gaps between the wood planks (1/4 to 1/2 inch gaps). Luckily the tree didn't break. I was able to mend the gaps with wood putty and then applied Gorilla Glue to ensure it was waterproof. The plastic leg cover was super glued on as much as possible along with some missing parts. I will try not to move this item from its place otherwise the plastic leg may fall apart. Thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Will do

Create your own if you can.

I just finished building this kennel. For $186 if I could see it in a store I'd leave it there. I could build a castle in wood for my dog for $186. The first thing that caught my eye was the "Made in China" sticker. The instructions were useless. You should be able to piece things together using the pictures. If you can, you can understand. I just greased it with a Thompson water seal because the thing wasn't designed for long-term outdoor use. Tomorrow I'll seal the seams, especially the roof.

Pros
  • High test results for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Mediocre quality but great design

Assembling my MEDIUM unit was easy, just a few bolts and screws, the pre-drilled holes matched well and all I needed was a screwdriver and pliers. I used a low powered ratchet screwdriver and a small pair of regular pliers to hold the nuts securely. It took me about an hour on my own (a petite woman in her 60s) as identification of several parts and assembly details were not immediately obvious. Like many others, I felt that the preparations for shipping this fragile home were absolutelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost OK

Nice kennel old problems fixed but instructions could be better

Just got a second box for these. They will be sent together, both said to have been sent for UPS delivery 4 days ago. The first box was delivered, the second was not. Tracking showed that it arrived in town at the same time as the first box, and no more. It finally got back to town last night and finally got delivered today. The packaging is a bit flimsy for such a heavy item and the second box was a bit torn. The contents were a bit damaged but a few extra screws and some epoxy took care ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
