Best Dog Crates That Look Like Furniture
In case you want to go straight to look at them, here our our top picks for best dog crate furniture:
Best Wooden End Table Dog Crate Furniture
Looks beautiful, and is solid
Best Cheap Wooden End Table Dog Crate Furniture
For the price, it look good and is fairly sturdy
Best Large/Extra Large Wooden End Table Dog Crate Furniture
The best of the large crate furniture. Looks great and good construction. The only thing to point out is that it’s MDF wood construction and not solid wood
Best Crafted/Designed Wooden End Table Dog Crate Furniture For Small Dogs
Craftsmanship on this unit is fantastic. Looks slightly like a jail cell, but a very beautiful looking one.
For smaller sized dogs at 27long x 18wide x 28.2 inches high.
The only knock on this unit is that it could be made a bit sturdier with the connection pieces
Best Crafted/Designed Wooden End Table Dog Crate Furniture For Medium Dogs
Again, craftsmanship is great with a cute looking latch.
Suits medium sized dogs with exterior dimensions of 36.5W x 24D x 29.25H in.
Best Custom Handmade Dog Crate Furniture
A custom dog furniture maker based in Washington.
All pieces made handmade to order out of wood and metal
Other Popular Dog Crate Furniture …
2 In 1 Crate and Gate
Good furniture if you’re looking for a 2 in 1 crate and gate
Wooden End Table Dog Crate
Popular, but a little flimsy when constructed and wood not as solid as to be expected for the price. Comes with plastic crate floor tray
Solid Wood End Table Dog Crate
Could have probably made the ‘best list’.
Made of solid wood and has a sturdy construction. Exterior is 30 x 21 x 24 inches
Medium Sized Solid Wood End Table Dog Crate
Again, could have made the ‘Best list above’.
Made of solid wood with a good construction.
Exterior is 36 x 24 x 28 inches
Gate and Crate Furniture
This is a wooden Walnut colored gate that looks absolutely beautiful.
When assembled against a wall you can use it as a crate/playpen. You can also use it to block off rooms and hallways in the house.
The one downside is that even the smallest dogs will have no trouble pushing it over – but, if your dogs don’t hit it, it’s a lovely looking gate and crate to use
Wooden End Table Dog Crate
Looks nice, but the wood and the wood isn’t strong, and the latch and construction are quite weak – if your dog wants to break out, they have a good chance to.
Look at other options
Medium Wooden End Table Crate
Looks good and is decently solid, but the construction could be better.
Not for chewers or powerful dogs
Large Wooden End Table Crate
Looks good, but strength and construction is just OK. Plastic tray comes with the crate.
Large measures 29.9 width x 41.5 long x 29.5 inches high. Fits dogs up to about 88lbs, but crate internally runs a bit smaller than that.
Just an OK crate overall considering the price
Large Wood & Metal Frame Crate
To call this furniture is a stretch. This is a large metal and wooden dog crate, without a top, and a sliding plastic tray bottom.
It’s well made, but is for puppies and tiny dogs or dogs that won’t jump out the top. Large measures W46 x D26.4 x H29 inch on the exterior
Large Wood & Metal Frame Crate
This crate is basically metal crate bars with wood wrapped around it.
Looks ok, but the material is quite weak, and the construction isn’t very strong or functional.
Not fantastic quality overall.
Large exterior dimensions are 28.58″D x 43.31″W x 30.08″H
Recycled Plastic-Wood Polymer End Table Crate
The concept seems great – eco friendly dog crate furniture.
But, in reality, the materials are quite weak and easy for dogs to destroy, and the way they are put together is very flimsy.
Steer clear for now until the product is improved, and look for other options
Expandable Wooden Dog Crate For Small Dogs
NOTE: You will need a plastic crate floor tray and/or a bed or mat for most crates.
You can get some good trays and beds/mats here:
- MidWest Homes Dog Crate Replacement Pans/Trays (on Amazon)
- Memory Foam, Self Warming and Odor Control Dog Crate Pads
- Dog Crate Pads For Chewers
- Supportive and Comfortable Dog Beds

Boomer and George Small Wooden Pet Crate End Table
Look Absolutely Amazing – this crate looks so well made – it kind of has an old prison cell type look to it, but weirdly that gives it fantastic character. Doesn’t look like a stock standard crate at all
Use As A Table Top – flat surface for putting things on
Metal Bolt Latch – for secure locking
Metal Frame, With Wooden Boards – Metal frame to hold everything together with lovely looking finished wood boards
Ventilation slats – for airflow
Made of MDF Wood Veneer – not solid wood
For Small Dogs – 15W x 24D x 25.25H in. interior dimensions
Two things that buyers might like improved is stronger dowels to hold the wood together, and solid wood instead of MDF with wood veneer. But, it’s still a good crate.

Best Wooden Dog Crate Furniture: Buyer’s Guide
What To Consider When Buying Dog Crate Furniture, and Indoor Dog Furniture
You might like to consider a mix of the following items:
Size – there are the interior, and the exterior dimensions of the dog crate. Get the inside dimensions to make sure your dog has enough room to lay down, and stand up. Check what weight the crate is made for too
Type – is the dog crate a standard end table. Is it an end table + gate? Is it a gate crate?
Color and Finish- check the color and finish of the furniture before you buy
Design – how does the crate actually look? Will it look nice in the room you want to put it in? Does it have a plain, modern or vintage look?
Floor – is the floor a wooden floor? If so, you need to get a cheap plastic crate tray if you have a puppy or a dog that isn’t toilet trained. Something like the MidWest Homes Dog Crate Replacement Pans/Trays (on Amazon)
Ventilation – does the crate have plenty of air flow that can get through it with wooden or metal bars?
Material – usually either MDF, or solid wood. Can be made with metal bars and frame too
Door – does it swing in and out? Or just out?
Latch – what type of latch is it – slide bolt, or turn latch?
Construction – how is the crate built? Is it built with thick wood dowels or thin easy to break joints?
Dog Bed or Pad – you will need to get a dog bed or dog pad with most crates if you want your dog to be comfortable in them. Check some out here:
– Memory Foam, Self Warming and Odor Control Dog Crate Pads
– Supportive and Comfortable Dog Beds
Solid Wood vs MDF With Wood Veneer For Dog Crate Furniture
The benefits of each are:
Solid Wood
Generally stronger, more durable to scratching and chewing, and the grain and overall look can be nicer with nicer finishes.
However, solid wood can expand and contract, causing shrinking and cracking. Solid wood tends to be more expensive too
MDF
Machine dried and pressed from recycled wood fibers and resin.
Doesn’t feel as solid as solid wood, but better at standing up to shrinking and cracking. Can be more vulnerable to forceful dogs.
Types Of Dog Crate Furniture
Wood dog crate furniture
Most dog crate furniture is wood construction.
You either get MDF with wood veneer, or solid wood.
Solid wood tends to be better for bigger dogs and dogs who are a bit more powerful, but solid wood is also more expensive.
Metal dog crate furniture
Some furniture units come with metal + wood construction.
They typically either come with a metal bar frame and wood panels. or a mostly wood construction with metal bars for the ventilation slats.
Most of the latches on the furniture are steel or metal too.
End table dog crate furniture
The most popular dog crate furniture pieces by far are the end table dog crates.
They can be put next to other furniture, next to a lounge, against a wall or feature by themselves.
You can also store books and other items on the table top. They are very versatile.
Large dog crate furniture
Some of the dog crates are built and sized for larger breed dogs.
These crates usually have a height of around 30 inches or more, and a length of around 40 inches or more.
Make sure when buying for large dogs you check the weight capacity of the dog crate, and that the interior dimensions are big enough for your dog to stand and lay down in.
Double dog crate furniture
The custom dog crate furniture above can be made to fit more than one pet inside.
Likewise, owners can fit several small pets inside some of the large dog crate furniture listed above. Measure your pets and the crate before you buy to be sure.
Modern dog crate furniture
Most of the dog crates listed above have very modern designs.
Some have more of a vintage look, while some have a modern look.
Check out the pictures for the detail before you purchase to make sure they fit with your decor.
