Overview
Amazon Basics' XL soft-sided folding dog crate measures 42 by 31 by 31 inches, with double-door polyester construction that collapses flat for travel or storage.
As a soft crate rather than wire or hard plastic, it favors portability over containment strength, the fabric shell and zipper closure suit calm or crate-trained dogs rather than dogs that chew or dig at material.
