We have had our cage for 2 years. It is brilliant and great for leaving the dogs safely in the car with the boot open. However, it rattles. A lot. The locks can be temperamental unless you key lock them and it arrived cracked from transit so a worry for safety - but it has been a great thing to have, too.

The box in size L (80•90•65) fits perfectly in the boot of the BMW 3 Series Touring, model year 2015, and is adequately sized with the large door for medium-sized dogs (Labrador, Dalmatian). One point deducted for the flimsy lock: the latch could be of better quality. I also had to manually deburr a few edges on the plastic corners before assembly. All in all, though, a recommendation for purchase given the price.

I got the L Box for the Bully Mix. If it’s placed exactly in the middle of the boot, it fits perfectly to the millimetre. But it touches the rear window. I find the lock very cheap and not sturdy. Otherwise, great value for money.

Fits perfectly in the Audi A4 Avant, year 2004. I have a German Shepherd mix (around 30kg), and there's enough space in size M. It could just be a few centimetres taller, though. Assembly was quick and easy with two people. The box feels sturdy and doesn't rattle. The lock, however, seems cheap. I won't be locking it anyway. Hence, 4/5 stars.

Apart from a rattling lock this cage is perfect, quality is excellent, it's easy to assemble and really sturdy. Perhaps a few tethering hooks built in would be useful.

I bought the box (size L) for my male German Shepherd. From a previous review, I read that it fits the Ford Focus Estate, model year 2011. And it does fit 😊 Anyone who drives a Focus knows how hard it is to find a suitable box. I assembled the box on my own as a woman. A rubber mallet is definitely helpful. The box is sturdy, and the dog is well protected in the boot. Visually, it’s fine too. I’m not a fan of the lock; I think a latch would be better.

I spent quite a while looking around to find a box that would suit my Parson Russell Terrier mix and still fit in the car (Opel Astra Sports Tourer up to 2010). This one fit the bill perfectly; it couldn’t have been any bigger. The dog also has enough space. Perhaps one of the wider boxes could have worked as well. He was used to a plastic box from the start and didn’t feel comfortable with just a luggage net.

Setup completed within 15 minutes. Our dog has taken to the crate well. As long as the crate isn’t needed in the car, it stays on the terrace and is also used as a shelter.

Setup was done in 20 minutes – no problems. The box is sturdy, no rattling while driving ... only our little one still needs to get used to it first :-)

Once assembled, the L-Box fits perfectly into our C-Class, and Sam – an Aussie mix weighing around 22 kg – can comfortably travel for several hours. The all-around opening is great for the dog; he can see everything, both the driver and the surroundings. Assembly tip: Leave the black screws loose until all sides are slotted in. You’ll need a bit of wiggle room here. The panels should definitely be inserted by two people – it’s a bit tricky but manageable with care.

The box seems overall quite sturdy, and the risk of injury from sharp edges is very low. However, the assembly instructions are terrible. But the worst part is that the walls and roof rattle terribly, even though all the screws are tightened properly. I just hope my dog doesn’t end up with tinnitus because of it. All in all, absolutely not recommended.

Once the box is assembled, it’s really very sturdy and of good quality. But the assembly process is a nightmare! We only managed it with two people and a lot of force, as the parts aren’t precisely made and you need a great deal of strength to finally screw them together. But as I said, once the box is finished, it’s top-notch!

After having tried other dog crates in the same price range, which were immediately returned due to quality issues, I have to say the workmanship here is excellent. However, I do have two complaints. First: it wouldn’t hold up in a crash test! If there were an accident and the dog were thrown against the plastic composite wall, it would definitely break. Second: I have two separate dog crates, each 65 cm wide, and it would be much more convenient if one had a door opening to the left and the other to the right.

I bought the L size. My Tervuren girl is 58cm tall. My dog immediately accepted the crate and loves it. The crate is perfect and could even be a bit narrower. First I had this in a Ford Focus 2011 and now in a Peugeuot 308 sw, both station wagons. The price for value is unbeatable. Sure, the lock isn't the best (it rattles on bumpy roads) but it works perfectly fine. You could glue something to the latch to stop it rattling. Premium aluminium dog crates cost 4 times as much. The crate is also extremely easy to clean amd carry. I would immediately buy it again.

I got the crate today and assembled it within 20 mins. All the parts fit well together. The distance between the bars and the door is great, as our Italian Greyhound is an escape artist. The crate was unfortunately 2cm too deep for our Citroen Berlingo 2, but after a small conversion in the boot we thankfully got it to fit. Would recommend!

Received the box today and assembled it together in 20 minutes. All the parts fit together perfectly. We’re particularly impressed with the spacing of the bars and the lock/closure, as our Italian Greyhounds are true escape artists. Unfortunately, the box was 2 cm too tall for our Citroën Berlingo 2, but after a small modification in the boot, it thankfully fit perfectly to the millimetre. Would definitely recommend the box.

I bought size L. My Tervueren lady has a height of 58 cm. My dog immediately accepted the box and loves it. The box is perfect; it could even be a bit narrower. At first, I had it in a Ford Focus (2011 model) and now in a Peugeot 308 SW, both estate cars. Unbeatable in terms of price/performance. Admittedly, the lock isn’t the best (it rattles on bumpy roads). However, the lock works perfectly. If the rattling bothers you, you can stick something into the latch to stop it. Premium aluminium dog boxes cost four times as much. Additionally, the box is extremely easy to clean and, as a woman, I can carry it on my own. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

We've been using the box for about 9 months now and are very satisfied. It fits perfectly in our Audi A4 (2003 model) – and it wasn’t easy to find a box that fits in terms of height. It would have been nice if it came with a matching anti-slip mat. Overall, though, we’d buy it again, especially because it can be locked.

I spent a long time looking for a car crate for my German Shepherd, and I’m glad I ordered this one. Delivery time was 2 days, well packaged, and nothing was damaged. Fits perfectly in my 2012 Passat Variant (size L). My dog felt comfortable in it straight away. Just absolutely brilliant!
