Bought used item. Shipped & arrived as promised. In great condition. Fairly easy to set up, once I figured it out. Very sturdy once it went up however I could see that if a dog was a chewer or anxious it could be destroyed from the inside because it is made from a canvas/duffel like material but that is why it’s a travel crate. I was specifically looking for a travel crate to take to agility class/competitions as you have to crate your dog in between runs. However, I will be returning this particular crate as it is way too big for my 43 lb. Standard Poodle. I purchased the 42L x 31W x 31H crate and upon setting it up realized it was more suited to my 81 lb. Belgian Malinois Doodle. As far as I’m concerned though, the Amazon Basics travel crate gets 5 stars for quality, ease of use/setting up and it’s very light for it’s size. P.S.: It would need to have a pad put in the bottom of it though as there is absolutely no padding. The bottom of the crate is shiny plastic so any liquids spilled (water, urine, etc.) would be easy to wipe up. UPDATE TO ABOVE REVIEW: So I returned the above crate & ordered one size down (36"L x 24"W x 24"H) thinking that this would be a better fit for the 43lb. Standard Poodle. When this new crate arrived, much to my dismay, she is too tall for it! :( She literally cannot stand up fully in the new crate nor even sit up straight; Otherwise in all the other dimensions it "fits" her. Now I'm kicking myself for returning the bigger crate. Who knew that crate shopping for your dog was as painful as shopping for a swimsuit??? Thank goodness for Amazon and their return policy.

This crate will not dissapoint. Quality, sturdy, roomy, decent zipper, decent mesh windows. Plenty room to spare for a 10 lb. dog. Easy use. No smell. Value for $ Would purchase again. Good shipping/packaging. Read more
This large, portable dog kennel has been very helpful when visiting people. It folds flat and is relatively easy to assemble. I now am able to consistently pack it up properly. It has plenty of room for my 64 lb dog. Read more
Giving 4 stars as it is a very nice setup and easy to put together and fold down. I bought it as a carrier for my cat as it said portable. Prob is the bottoms is just canvas and any weight in it it sags down. Like water on a tarp. Would be perfect for a dog in the back of an SUV to keep contained. Description does state soft sided but "portable" I feel is a bit misleading. Read more
This is the second one I have purchased and I continue to love it! I have a dog that is nervous in the car but she’s too big for car seats. So I thought maybe a kennel would help her feel more secure. It worked so well! The kennel itself is super. It’s easy to collapse and set up. It’s just two steps really - lift up the two metal frames on each side and then pull out and place the bracing arms. It feels very sturdy and it has great little features like a zip open top with a Velcro strap to hold it while open. That’s how my dog rides in it. It also has a little clip for you to lock the zipper into for the front door. The front door has a Velcro strip that lets you roll it up and place it. It didn’t work super well because it’s only on one side so the other side dangles a bit. But it worked well enough. I agree with other reviewers that this is not a product for dogs who will attempt to escape or who will scratch at the kennel. The canvas/vinyl style fabric is great but it won’t stand up to major scratching or biting for too long. I bought the large one for my first trip and it was really big. I had to collapse it in order for it to fit in my car and then I could set it up once inside. It did require putting the back seat down. The medium fit in my back seat without needing to drop the seat or adjust the front seats. It also will only go in collapsed but it sets up well once inside. I also used this in hotels when leaving my dog for a while. No issues. It cleans easily too if you get mud or something in it. Read more
Perfect for pups that do NOT tear things up. Due to this being soft sided, I do not recommend putting dogs in here that have high anxiety and high separation anxiety. aside from that, not is pretty roomy, great value for money and its easy to transport back and fourth. Read more
We got this crate to shelter our Golden Retriever from thunder and fireworks. Inside she feels cozy and safe. Because the item is so well made and sturdy, we will be using it on road trips as well, because it folds very easily and it's very practical to open and close. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Everything is good easy to set up but wish it had sturdy zipper. It broke the day we used it. :( my pup is 1 yr old and she tried to get out and she was able to escape. Don’t know if there is way to replace the zipper (?) to keep her inside when we are not around. Read more
