(More customer reviews)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.
