DOG CRATE FURNITURE
BUYING TIPS
Buying dog crate furniture is an investment not to be taken lightly, especially because It's dogs living in furniture.
TIP #1
Size Matters
It's more than just a dog crate, it's your pup's new home. Your new kennel should be a cozy space for your pup to feel safe and relaxed.
A crate that is too big is just as bad as one that is too small. In general, a dog crate needs to be tall enough for your dog to stand and wide enough for your dog to turn around easily – but not much bigger.

TIP #2
Materials: Did you know not all hardwoods are very hard?
For dog furniture, avoid species like Alder, Poplar, Birch, Pine. These are very soft materials that do not hold up to claws and teeth.
Beware of designs that use terms like P2 (chipboard), PB (partical board) or made of all plywood.
Instead, go with more durable solid woods like Maple (used in butcher blocks & gymnasium floors), Ash, Walnut, or Oak.
Don't take our word, get the hard facts. See a side-by-side wood comparison chart. The numbers don't lie. 😉
TIP #3
How long do you plan on owning your furniture?
No one wants disposable furniture.
Over the years, we've seen many well intentioned builders not around more than a year or two to support your purchase.
Make sure your builder has a well laid out proven replacement component program.
