This may well be the best travel crate buy on the market. The large 1/4 inch size Allen Head bolts that hold the two halfs together are Massive and large in number (unlike some of the cheap plastic snap-and-twist setups other manufactures use). The front door is the easiest to open and close of any we have purchased, which includes Remington, Foster&Smith, Vari Kennel to name a few.
The only unknown is the toughness of the plastic shell, which is well designed in shape; however, the strength of the plastic is still on unknown at this point. Without a drop/load test, I’ll have to let time answer that part. If the plastic, is indeed, a relatively high strength material (with regard to cracking/tearing/heat deformation, etc), then I would rate the crate a 5_+ !!
URGENT UPDATE: I can no longer reccomend purchasing this dog crate. The one reservation I expressed in the above review regarding not knowing the quality of the plastic crate material holding up under extended use is now proven to be a major concern with this IRIS crate. I recently discovered a jagged hole in the side of the plastic crate material and the piece of plastic material was missing. Although the crate must have incurred some sort of impact to create the hole, the character of the hole created suggests a relatively brittle, non-complient material, which breaks/shatters relatively easily. If IRIS would use a sturdier material, this would be the best cage on the market; however, with the current material and a recent enormous price hike, I would not reccomend this cage to anyone looking for a good value for the money spent.

We own several kennels, mostly Vari-Kennels from Petmate. This is our first Iris. I was impressed by the ease of assembly and small convenience touches. All of the grills for the openings are metal, and this unit comes with a water dish. The top and bottom fit easily together, whereas on the Vari-kennel there was a fair amount of squeezing of top or bottom to align the pieces. While there are a LOT of screws and nuts to tighten with the Iris, I doubt there will ever be a danger of it’s coming apart when you didn’t intend it to (a tool is supplied with the unit, but more efficiently a screw gun or power drill makes quick work of tightening everything).
The door design is super: it is made with two latches, each of which can also be the pivot for the door, so it can swing either way even after installed, or it can be removed entirely, should you wish / need to: clever and useful. It has a handle at each end, though this might not be the way I would choose to move it with a 50-60 lb dog inside.
I haven’t owned it long enough to proclaim durability, but it seems well made, the conveniences are great, and maybe best of all, my puppy who is not overly fond of cages in general claimed it as her own as soon as it was in place!
One thing it does not have is a deeply depressed area surrounding the floor that some other units have (presumably to catch urine and keep it from the center of the floor). I have never found that feature useful but in case you do…. Otherwise I can’t think of anything you might want that it doesn’t have.

Item had large crack in bottom front corner upon arrival. Plastic must not be very strong for it to break in shipping. Also, the measurements are taken from up high in the middle of kennel. The floor space inside which is what the pet can use is 18 15/16 W x 29 3/4 L x 25 H as stated on the attached tag. Width given was 24 7/16 which you can see is almost 6 inches larger than the actual floor space. However, I really like the metal windows instead of plastic and all the metal bolts which held the top to the bottom. I did not purchase from Amazon so it’s not thier fault at all and I was able to return it.

The Iris Pet Carrier is a well constructed, convenient pet carrier. The larger size travel crates often do no have any carry handles but this one has two. The front cage door can open from either side. I spent hours checking our various crates and this is definitely the best one in its size category. The price through Amazon was great too and with the free shipping, it was a no brainer. One website had a reasonable price but the shipping then added another $45 which was ridiculous. Thank you Amazon.

Any of you that already have this crate- is the plastic sturdy enough to stack one on top of the other? is the inside depth 34″? thanks!
