I am really pleased with this crate. Not only does it look nice, but it is light and fairly easy to travel with, which was my primary motivation for purchasing it. There are, however, three things that I believe can (and should) be improved.
1) The crate should have been designed to collapse much more easily, rather than requiring it to be disassembled into three pieces before placing it back into the box. Which leads me to my next point...
2) Why not include a handle to carry the crate once it has been collapsed for much easier portability? I would have preferred to recycle the box altogether but now I feel like I need to keep it because at least it has a handle.
3) I’m not thrilled with the latch mechanism for the crate door. It seems flimsy and it’s more difficult than I would like to “snap” the latch so the door is closed securely. The latch is made of a hard plastic so I worry that it’s only a matter of time before it cracks or snaps off altogether.
Overall, however, I am happy with this crate. I plan to watch out for future generations of this product in the hopes that some improvements to the aforementioned points are made.
