Amazon Basics Sturdy Portable 2-Door Top-Load Hard-Sided Pet Travel Carrier with Secure Ventilation, Handle, Front & Top Entry for Dogs, Cats, 22.8"L x 15"W x 13"H, Gray & Blue

This crate had all parts included at arrival. I purchased this two-toned gray crate as a new product and received it as such. I would have immediately returned if it had been used or damaged. I assembled without any problems. The crate made with medium heavy plastic on 1/2 sides down, back and bottom with 4” inserted wire windows into plastic sections which secured the safety of the crate even more. I observed no exposed wire ends around the three inserted wire windows. The front gate seemed heavy duty and sturdy and was installed without problems. I placed the crate back on the floor and easily installed all four corner wires into designated holes at the same time for a safe/secure fit. I appreciated these holes were built up above the level of the top for added security fit. My dog weighs approx 10-11lbs. She is a small mixed dachshund/chihuahua. I would not recommend a larger dog or cat because I observed a strain on the top of gate when I carried her inside. The top of the crate would stretch and cause the gate wires to come out of their designated holes. The door could not be opened until I lifted the crate with her inside again and easily returned the gate wires to their designated holes. I would not recommend forcing the gate for fear of breaking the plastic holes or bending the gate door. I appreciate the door can be opened on either the left or right side. I appreciate the dual plastic locking devices…arthritic fingers. I would not recommend carrying a pet inside this crate for a long length of time. I suggest making the end door wires a bit longer so a bolt can be screwed to each wire end for added stability when the plastic crate pulls away from the gate wires. I bought this crate for safety while on short trips, shopping, distress alleviating exercises and while I vacuum and mop. She is terrified of all common home noises and mortified of being outside either with me or fear of being left outside alone. My little dog was one of a dozen small dogs living their entire lives in a small wire cage OUTSIDE in a horrible hoarding situation. Her dew claws are permanently damaged due to being caught in the floor wires and broken away from her foot bone. After a week of seeing this crate, short entries (all while holding the carrier) she now enters it on her on and rests peacefully. The bottom is sturdy and safe and all wire window inserts pose no threat to her safety and allows her to see me from all sides of the crate as I move around her. I did not need instructions to assemble this crate. 15 mins total. I am 67 years old.

*Overall, I would rate this crate as definitely worth it. However, I'm giving this 5 stars not because I necessarily think this is the best crate ever, or I'd never like another one. It functions well, especially for the price. I can't think of a reason to give it 4 stars, as I have no desire to get a different crate. This is a good crate, again especially because of the price!* Fairly easy to put together, just follow the instructions. No tools technically needed, but I did use a basic screw driver to help put in the 6 screws around the edge. If that's a deal breaker for you, it would technically work without the screws, as there are too plastic clamps on either side... (although I don't advise it, especially if it's not just sitting on the floor like mine.) I enjoy the design of the door. It is easy and smooth to open and shut the door, which is one of the most important things for me when choosing a crate. If you want your pet to be able to go in and out as they please, you will need to brace the door open to keep it open all the way. (That's not a complaint, just a note.) It is not difficult though; personally, I just stick a dog toy at the bottom. Really anything would work. I really like that it opens from the top! I have a small dog that likes to meld himself to the back of the crate when he is sleeping. It would literally be impossible to get him out through the front, because I am physically unable to reach him. Now I just pop the top open and I can reach him just fine! The opening is large enough to easily lift him out. The lock/latch system keeps the top stays securely in place when not in use. I will say opening from the top is not as easy nor smooth as the front door. It does take me a few times. Taking the top off IS much faster than putting it back in place, however, which matters more to me. As does it's security. If I have one issue with this crate, it's that I struggle a bit to open and close the top. It's not worth a whole star though, in my opinion. It's not because anything is wrong with it or the parts are cheap. It just takes control and precision (and therefore practice). There are two rods that come in and out on both sides. They need to to be lined up in their respective proper place at the same time, which requires both hands to be in sync with eachother. I could see myself getting better at it over time. I just haven't been using it a lot. When I need to, though, I really appreciate it still and I'm glad it's available; it's definitely worth it. If you have a pet that is hard to get out (maybe at the vet), the top door will come in handy!

Alright I love this thing. My vet kinda hates that it doesn't fully come apart. I was delighted when I found out that the top opens (yeah, I guess I didn't read the title lol) . She still lowkey hates it. If you're looking to impress your vet then it's a no. Otherwise, for a good sturdy product that will last with extra support for a chonky Manx cat who will remain nameless.... An absolute dream. My previous carrier was slightly smaller and only had the plastic clips. It retired taped together when the clips started failing lol. I'm impressed. Also easier to get a cat in the front. Worth the price.

I got this for my mom. Just received today and put it together. Very easy to assemble. Large enough for an adult cat or small dog. Seems to be well made. Doesn't feel cheap. The door open for from both sides. You can also remove the door without taking the carrier apart. The floor (bottom) looks very slick. It'll definitely need something in the bottom. I'll have to find some kind of pad for her cat. Plenty of room for 1 cat. I'd buy this again if needed.

Very sturdy and fit both of my kittens comfortably. Love to use it for travels or going anywhere.

I bought this for a puppy. The size was perfect- small enough to make him feel secure, but large enough for it to grow with him. The plastic is durable, and easy to clean. There was no weird plastic odor. The handle makes it perfectly portable and the "sunroof" is convenient. It fits a soft bed perfectly inside.

Sturdy and very easy to put together.

Perfect bed for my mini schnauzer! She loves it!

Missing a wheel when I received it and has scratches on it

Très belle cage avec jolie couleur. La matière plastique semble épaisse et donc, assez solide, il en est de même pour les ouverture de devant et du dessus Deux accès pour faire entrer l'animal, l'ouverture du dessus permet de mettre un animal avec moins de difficulté que par l'ouverture de devant. Il faut cependant avoir le coup de mains pour l'ouvrir et la fermer correctement. Avantage, l'ouverture du dessus s'enlève totalement pour un nettoyage plus efficace. Les 6 vis augmentent la solidité de la cage. Seule bémol, la notice qui l'accompagne indique de mettre les vis vers le haut et le boulon en-dessous. Mais la partie épaisse de plastique ne permet pas de visser correctement le boulon et à mon sens, ne permet pas de solidifier les deux pièces de la cage ensemble. Je mets donc les vis dans l'autre sens, moins esthétique certes, mais cela renforce la fermeture des deux pièces de la cage et évite aussi la perte malencontreuse d'un boulon. A voir dans le temps mais je penses que cette cage tient sur le long terme. Sera utilisée pour une petite minette de 4kg

Excellent product for my cats, when I needed to take them to the vet, easy to operate , spacious and comfortable for cats with windows all around them.

Super et très solide

The Pet Carrier has more than exceeded my expectations and is perfect for carrying my two kittens together. I chose this carrier for the removable gate, as we leave the carrier out with blankets inside as an additional hiding place for our cats to sleep, this avoids them hurting themselves on the gate which has happened with previous carriers.
