"Used the divider for my lab puppy starting at 10 weeks and expanded it four times as he grew. One crate from puppy to adult — exactly what I needed."

"My previous dog destroyed two cheaper crates by nosing the latch open. The double-bolt on this iCrate has held through 18 months of my escape-artist shepherd trying every day."

"I fold it every weekend and set it up every Monday for the work week. It takes less than a minute each way. The fold-flat design genuinely works for our space constraints."

"Four years with my Golden and this crate looks exactly as it did when I bought it. The wire hasn't bent, the coating hasn't peeled. Build quality is excellent for the price."

Floor tray cracked under my large dog…
My 95-pound Rottweiler cracked the plastic floor tray within three months. The wire cage is rock solid but the tray quality doesn't match. Ordered a replacement tray and put a rubber mat in — works fine now but shouldn't have been necessary.

I wanted to put it against a wall with side access and couldn't. The front-only door forced me to rearrange my living room around the crate rather than fitting the crate into the room naturally. Should have gotten the double-door version.

Even with the rubber feet my dog can push it a foot across the floor in an evening. I had to put a mat under it. For a product with this many reviews I expected the no-slip to be better.

The instructions weren't great and I bent one panel slightly trying to fit it before realizing I had a panel reversed. First setup took me 25 minutes — after that it folds fast, but the first time was frustrating.
Source: Amazon reviewerThe MidWest iCrate is the most practical dog crate at this price, with the right combination of security, portability, and puppy-growing room through the divider system. Tray durability is the main weakness for very large dogs, and single-door placement limits room flexibility. For most large-breed owners who need a reliable everyday crate that folds for travel and lasts years, the iCrate is the clear value choice.
