Wooden Dog Crates That Look Like Furniture

Say goodbye to unsightly wire or plastic dog crates.

Wooden Dog Crates That Look Like Furniture

The Luxury Dog Crate by Hammacher Schlemmer looks like furniture — Unlike unsightly wire or plastic pet crates, wooden kennels can double as end tables.

Many professional trainers and veterinarians recommend crate training as an easy way to house-train your pup and encourage social behaviors. A comfy kennel can quickly become your dog's instinctual 'den' and safe place to rest or reset.

However, let's face it, those big wire and plastic pet crates can be a bit unsightly in the middle of your living room. If you're looking for something that can blend in to your home's decor, try a wooden crate or 'furniture-style' kennel.

Below, we narrowed down our own research to a few kennels that stood out from the rest.

Paul: "This was just what I needed. It is multi purpose. A side table and kennel. Great for limited space areas/ small apartments, etc. It was easy and fast to assemble with just one person (me). My dogs love it. Other reviews talk about dogs chewing through the wood, but mine were kennel trained since they were little so it's not an issue. My little dog puts himself "to bed" in it."

Shannon: " We needed a new crate for our growing pup and also needed a table next to our couch. It was perfect to find this crate. It is well made. It was a little tricky to get everything tightened up the way it should be. I recommend leaving the screws a little loose until you get everything assembled and then begin tightening. I don’t understand why there is a wire bottom, it seemed like it wouldn’t be comfortable for the pup. I put down a blanket and purchased a crate pad."

Erin: " The crate is lively, better than photo. Nothing flimsy about it. SUPER easy to put together. No tools necessary and good directions. I’m just really happy about this purchase!"

LG: "Did tons of research before buying because these furniture style crates are not cheap. Decided on this one based purely on the aesthetic and it seemed higher quality and I really like it. It doesn’t look like the monstrous, wire crates you typically find at the pet store. It was very easy to assemble and my two small dogs happily go into it when it’s time for bed. They don’t bite or scratch to get out so I cannot attest to how it would hold up to a bigger dog that attempted to get out but it seems very sturdy to me. Would definitely buy again if I had the need for an additional crate."

Amanda: "I bought two. One for a lab and one for a shih tzu and placed on either side of my couch as end tables. Great for saving space, looking great and two birds...one stone. They were well packaged, easy to assemble and even more sturdy than I had anticipated."

Karen: " Looks like a nice piece of furniture versus having a dog crate in the main room. Like that it comes with a bed/mat for the dog. Well made - easy to open/close. Lots of room for my medium size dog."

Mandy: "I bought these (a large and a small) a while back but just recently assembled & started using them. They're nicely sized. The large one is where my Pit Bull sleeps at night. There's more than enough room for her to walk into it normally (no ducking or back-swaying) She can't stand normally inside it, turn around freely and sleep comfortably. The small one is shared by my 2 small lap dogs. They're old (about 15 years old) so they're not active or hyper, they don't jump all over each other. One sleeps towards the back of the table/crate and the other sleeps in the front by the door. My dogs have been crate trained for many years now so crating at night isn't new to them. It's their "normal", it's what they're used to. These tables just eliminated the big clunky wire crates (that my sensitive skinned Pit Bull would use to rub her back on until it bled.) Now they still get crated but their "crates" are also tables that can be used for all sorts of things. Below I will list pros/cons:

Pros:
• It's a table dog crate. It's genius!
• Not an eyesore like most standard "dog crates"
• Perfect for dog owners who crate their dog(s) and don't have a lot of room/space. Since the crate is a table, you get a product that has multiple uses.
• The tables are sturdy.

Cons: If you're like me and have dogs who have been crate trained for a long time, these tables will be an adjustment. Used to just have to holler out "Beds!" And my dogs would run to their crates & get in. They seem to be slightly confused by the tables being "beds". Lol, but they learn fast.

SIDE NOTE: I would not recommend these to animal owners whose pets are not at all familiar with crates or completely crate trained. I would not use these to start crate training a puppy or an animal that has "accidents" regularly inside the house. Simply because when beginning to crate train for the first time, especially with puppies/young dogs, accidents are bound to happen. These tables are exactly that: tables. A large amount of urine or a pee puddle that isn't cleaned up IMMEDIATELY would probably warp/ruin the floor of the table crate. Regular dog crates are usually either hard plastic or metal wire with a plastic bottom, which aren't affected by accidents/getting wet. Since my dogs are older and have been crate trained for years, this wasn't a concern or issue for myself. Also, because of that, I haven't looked into liners or plastic trays that could fit the area inside the crate table. If you could find something like that, that would fit the entire area, accidents wouldn't be too damaging. But it would need to fit snuggly, side to side-back to front, with no spaces."

Keraleea: " This is great. l have a couple more expensive doggy dens but this one is really, really impressive for the price and solid. The dogs love it and l could build it on my own so totally recommend this! It’s nice to know my dogs are safe when l leave the house and they feel safe in their own home . I breed Japanese spitz and this can fit 2 adults comfortably, and I plan on using it for puppies too . It’s well packed as well. So happy with this purchase."

7311: " I’m extremely excited for this. My pitbull(in the picture) always got out of her crate and I 100% think this is going to solve all of that. I was first worried about her chewing on it but the inside is lined in metal and the only wood pieces are on the outside so that’s a huge bonus. If you’re questioning getting one. Just do it."
