Wooden Dog Crates That Look as Chic as Furniture

Unlike unsightly wire or plastic dog kennels, wooden dog crates can double as end tables.

Wooden Dog Crates That Look Like Furniture

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

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

We narrowed down our own research to a few wooden dog crates that stood out from the rest for small and medium to extra large dogs.

Paul: "This was just what I needed. It is multipurpose. 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 and 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."

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 pit bull 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."
