This kennel is all wood and makes a decent end table. It is not suitable for an unattended chewer! It holds up well for our purpose which is to corral an overly energetic dog, especially, when someone comes into our home. This allows the dog to be in our company but behaviors are limited. It is not sturdy enough to use as you would one of the more secure crates available. A word of caution. We purchased the large kennel for our 60 pound dogs. I measured the space before ordering. It does fit; however, the reality of the kennel is that it is large! It is higher than a traditional end table. Thank goodness I measured before ordering as it took up every inch of space. Our dogs can stand up and lay down without being cramped. This kennel will only hold one dog! For the money, it could be finished a bit better. Would purchase again.
