I just love how this matches my white furniture! For the price this is a steal! Careful assembling the lock. My husband had to do it twice because it needs to be just right to close nicely. Even though my dog always has bones and treats in her kennel, she chewed up one of the back wooden poles. The damage was little enough that I didn't bother refinishing or anything. What I did, was put some lemon juice in a bottle and sprayed the inside of the poles. My advice is that if you have a chewer, don't wait, just spray the kennel with lemon juice before you leave your dog alone with it. Dogs hate lemons :)
