I have seen the product, and it is of good quality. Too bad I never received it in the mail. Amazon reported it as shipped, but Fed Ex said kept saying they never received it. I would stay away from this vendor.

I can’t believe there are so many positive reviews of this crate. There are so many things wrong with it.
First, someone else already mentioned the clips. They either stick into the cage or they lay on the floor sticking up waiting for you to step on them. What were they thinking?
And that brings us to #2. The clips are there because this is portable. What a joke. This thing is heavy. It is difficult to fold and unfold. (Or else mine is bent and/or poorly constructed, either way it’s a strike.)There is gonna be flexing metal when you do it too. So it’s not a given that you are going to escape uninjured from the process.
The handles provided only snap onto bars with certain diameters. Make sure you use THOSE bars and that the handles snap in or you could easily drop this thing. And you’re pretty unlikely to escape from that uninjured. Also, because the handles only snap onto the long bars they are not very convenient for moving the crate around when it is assembled.
If you plan to take the divider panel when you transport this thing please pay attention to where it comes from when you first unfold it because you’ll never figure out where it goes again.
Which brings us to #3. Use the divider panel and it will be available from puppyhood through adulthood. Another joke, I think. Any puppy could fit his whole leg through the bars of this cage – all the way up to the hip or shoulder. Try to picture that with a frantic puppy and no injury.
Then there’s #4. Want to get the door closed fast? Forget it. The locking bars will slide into the closed position. And you can’t just slide them open and closed to lock them either. You have to lift the handle in order to be able to slide the lock open or closed. When you swing the door closed the handles swing out allowing the locks to slide closed by centrifugal force. Both locks then have to be disengaged so the door can close all the way and you can engage the locks. That means before you can engage either lock you have to lift the handle on each one and slide it to the open position. How fast does that sound? With practice you might get pretty fast, but it’s still a TERRIBLE design.
This product was NOT made by dog-lovers. Consumer testing was non-existent. I found all these issues in the first week of use. Keep looking. This is not the crate for you, even at Amazon’s prices.

The design is poor, very difficult to fold and unfold. Construction is shoddy with ill fitting parts.
The cheap plastic handles easily break.
However, the wire crate is what it is–if you must buy it don’t buy it with the thought in mind to frequently break it down and set it up again.
