The camo pattern looks even better in person than in the photos, and the whole crate feels rock-solid when I lock the door. My dog settled in right away, and I like that it’s been around for 30 years—that tells me they know what they’re doing.
The latch mechanism feels solid and secure, and the Mossy Oak pattern looks even better in person than in the photos. Assembly took me about 15 minutes, though the instructions were a bit vague on one step.
The camo finish is exactly what you see in the photos, but the real draw here is the safety latch system—it took me a few tries to get the hang of it. It's sturdy enough for a duck dog, though I wish the assembly instructions were a bit clearer. Works fine for what it is.
