| Does Anybody Here Have a Coffee Table Crate?? Looks Awesome!!! My new place I am moving to in March is WAY smaller than where I live now and I'm concerned about where I will put all my stuff, Not to mention my dogs crates etc... BUT I do need two end tables for the livingroom so possibly I could kill two birds with one stone?? anybody have one? Tried it?? Ideas/Opinions? |

| Wow, those do look like space savers! Based on the pictures alone the first one looks like the latch might be a little to easy for the little ones to get open. It does not look secure. The last one I like. It seems more open and airy. Good luck!

| I don't crate Ella but wow, i love these. They are so stylish, and as someone said, very much a space saver. =]

| Wow, those are awesome! My faves are the 3rd from the first set of pictures for the fact that it is more open and the dog can see much more of the goings-on in the house; and the 3rd one from the second set of pictures as well. I like how it's a rounded shape; very modern-looking. Thanks for posting these!

| I'd have to say I like the looks of the first one better but not if they were going to be in it for a longer amount of time, just for bed or something. But I wouldn't want to put a chewer in it!!! It just looks more like furniture then the third one that looks more "crate-like to me. What a wonderful idea though. Very creative designs. |

| Maxwell used one that looks like a good sized, wicker end table. He used it for a year, then one night for reasons I could not fathom, he refused to go into it at ALL. It is now our "end table" in the TV room, but I will use it again when I get a "buddy" for Maxwell. It worked for crate training, but now he's trained and has his special places around the house where he sleeps. |

| One more thing about the crate as an end table. I found the door being open was a knee banger, so try to configure it with that in mind. |

| I love them but can't seem to find any here in Canada, and they are heavy so shipping from the USA would be ridiculous... Maybe I can find somebody to make me one here but I'm guessing that would be pricey... |

| I have a friend that had a piece custom built to fit on top of her metal crate to make it a table and it's beautiful and practical. Maybe you could do that to save space? |
