You might want to make it more secure
We now have two of these cable tied together to make a super cage. The dogs (both about 20kg and about 2.5ft long) are happy enough with their house/prison and have plenty of room. Individually, each cage has plenty of room for a dog of the size of ours, a full sized retriever might find it a bit cramped though unless for just a short period.ProsSimple to assemblePacks away to a really neat unit for transportationFairly sturdy plastic floorTwo doors with decent locking mechasnismOnce assembled, a very stable, secure and safe environment for your dogsConsSome of the joints seem a little flimsy at first until you realise that with a pair of pliers you can make them much more secure. Once you've done that, they're fine.That's about it really. To make our double sized cage, it only needed a pair of pliers to remove the two end panels (which can always be added back at any time if necessary) and a few cable ties to lock the two cages together. Now the boys have a sleeping end and a feeding end and are over the moon!I only docked the star due to the need to tighten things up a bit but, i would recommend this product without hesitation.

Good well-made robust dog cage
Very good quality cage my Springer Spaniel that recently came from a rescue centre needed this cage to transition from the centre to living in the home he still loves to go and get peace and quiet from a two month old grandson! Recently found him asleep in there as well ha ha . It’s very robust and takes quite a weight of various dog bits and pieces on top and still survives no problem recommending it .

Good, but ....,,,
It does as asked except that one of the door fasteners is too tight up to its surrounds to be able to make it securely fasten the door. The lower one works, and as my dog is a quiet wee thing there is no problem. I would rather the bottom tray actually filled the space. If your pet gets the runs then excrement could easily go onto the carpet below. My old one was better I think.

I'm like a dog with two tails
Have purchased smaller versions of this item previously at a well known pet store and paid almost twice the amount then had the privilege of lugging them home in a taxi. Saved so much time, money and needless to say energy ordering this way and having it delivered right to my door. I'm like a dog with two tails. Can't recommend highly enough and my dogs are soooo comfy its hard trying to get them out of "their dens"... another good thing, you can have either all round visibility if pet needs or some privacy by adding a cover. Sound, safe, quality product with excellent durability... my other dogs are now 12/13 years of age and these crates have been moved from pillar to post and still fit the biil

Good crate, but gap at bottom is too large
Good crate. We use it for our cockapoo puppy, and bought it to fit her (we hope) when she's fully grown, using it initially with the divider (though we eventually had a problem with that, described in my review of the divider). The only thing I'd criticise with the crate itself is the size of the gap around the bottom, which is more than big enough for her Nylabones and Kong Goodie Bones to slip through, to her great frustration (those being some of the few things that it's safe to leave with an unsupervised puppy). Could be better designed, and I think I'd look at other brands if buying again. But otherwise it's been fine.

Harry now in Residence
Bought this for our 9 week old labrador puppy and it is indispensible. He rests in it during the day when we need to be out on the farm and keep him secure, then sleeps all night happily in it. It's strong, which makes it a bit heavy, but can be moved around quite easily and loaded into the car for journeys. Fits in the back of the VW Golf with one of the seats down, and he settles very well on his weekly journey to and from the coast (60 miles each way). The plastic tray is easy to slot out for cleaning. Bought the Savic clamp on bowl for his food which works well too. The 'Residence' replaced a cage bought but returned which was comparatively flimsy and had a metal base which we decided would be difficult to keep in good condition. So glad we swapped.

Stated height is incorrect
This Savic crate is very sturdily made but it is not exactly as described. We chose it because of the stated 71cm height - the tallest one we could find for the length and width. When it arrived we were very disappointed to discover in reality it only measured 69cm - 2cm may not seem much but it does make a real difference as to how our dog can sit in it. Amazon were excellent and arranged for a replacement which arrived promptly but unfortunately, but not surprisingly, was also only 69cm high.Savic need to change the description!
