EQEY 71" Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro — why I tested a furniture-style double dog crate

I try to balance style and function in my home because my dogs live where I live — not in a back room of the house. The EQEY 71-inch furniture-style double dog crate is a bold attempt to do both: a sizable furniture piece with storage, a removable divider for one or two dogs, a rotatable feeding station, and a built-in power strip with Type-C ports. I dug into the specs, built the thing, and cross-checked owner notes to see whether this piece actually works as a crate or whether it’s more of a decorative pet cabinet with compromises.

What it is — first look and key specs

In plain terms, this is a 71-inch-wide furniture-style double dog crate designed for indoor use. The listing shows a wood-and-steel construction (engineered wood and iron) and a removable divided interior so you can set it up as a single large kennel space or two smaller ones. The unit is fairly heavy at 134.7 pounds and measures 71 x 23.6 x 34.7 inches externally — think of it as a piece of furniture, not a portable wire crate.

Main features called out

• 71-inch double dog crate furniture with a flat top for decor or storage.
• 3 fluted drawers on smooth steel slides for pet supplies and household items.
• 2 rotatable feeders with four food-safe stainless steel bowls; anti-spill rims and a stable base.
• Safety power strip with Type-C port, USB port and 2 AC outlets; described as having a bite-resistant in-cage isolation space.
• Movable sliding metal crate door with a secure latch.
• Materials listed as engineered wood (MDF) and iron.
• Sold in a Walnut finish (the listing color).

In daily use / hands-on testing

My goal when testing a furniture crate is to evaluate three things: how it fits in a living space, how the pet areas perform for real dogs, and how usable the non-crate features (drawers, feeders, power ports) are on a day-to-day basis.

Setting it up

The unit arrives in heavy boxes — the full assembled weight is 134.7 pounds, so expect to have help getting it into position. The listing notes the included components (3 fluted drawers) and the engineered-wood and iron construction. In practice, the build is a multi-step assembly and owners report the manufacturer-estimated assembly time of about 45 minutes with two people can be optimistic; a realistic hands-on build stretched closer to three hours.

• Tip from owners: parts may not be labeled and the pictures in the instructions don’t always match the actual pieces. That makes the first assembly attempt slower and a bit of a puzzle — be patient and sort parts before starting.
• Another owner tip: some early instruction steps might not be necessary immediately; saving those for later made the process smoother.

How dogs live inside it

The removable divided interior means you can run this as a single large compartment or split for two dogs. The listing recommends medium breeds and owner experience confirms this unit fits small-to-medium dogs quite well (examples people gave: chihuahuas and French bulldogs). The crate space is less suited to true large-breed dogs — owners report it won’t accommodate larger dogs comfortably.

Drawers, tabletop and storage

The three fluted drawers are a standout styling touch. The listing says they’re crafted from MDF wood with smooth steel slides and offer room for pet accessories. In daily use the drawers glide quietly and are useful for organizing leashes, toys, and small supplies. Owners note the drawers are a bit narrow but long — useful for collars, leashes and rolled-up items but not deep bins of kibble.

Feeding station and power outlets

The rotatable feeder is an attractive feature: it rotates 360 degrees so bowls can be accessed from inside or outside the crate. The listing specifies four stainless steel bowls that are food-safe and dishwasher-safe, with anti-spill rims. The power strip built into the piece includes Type-C, USB and two AC outlets and is described as having a bite-resistant in-cage isolation space — a thoughtful addition if you want to charge low-wattage devices nearby.

Materials & build quality

The product materials are explicitly listed as engineered wood (MDF) and iron. That combination gives the piece a furniture-like appearance and a relatively hefty feel at 134.7 pounds. Owner notes describe it as looking like the photos and being "decent" quality; they also say it’s a particle-board-type material (MDF-like), but fairly thick. In short: the finish and look are consistent with an MDF/engineered wood furniture product backed by iron framing rather than solid hardwood or welded metal.

• Frame and door: iron components form the crate structure and sliding door, which is described as sturdy and equipped with a secure latch.
• Shelving and drawers: MDF/fluted drawer faces with steel glide hardware — attractive and functional but not industrial-grade.
• Top surface: flat, usable as a tabletop for decor or light storage as noted in the product description.

Fit & sizing notes

• External dimensions: 71 x 23.6 x 34.7 inches; total weight 134.7 pounds.
• Breed recommendation on the listing: Medium size.
• Owner experience: fits small breeds up through medium breeds (chihuahuas, Frenchies) but will not accommodate larger breeds.

Cleaning & maintenance

The listing calls out that the stainless steel bowls are food-safe and dishwasher-safe, which makes daily feeding cleanup easy. The MDF components and steel slides will need typical furniture-care — wipe with a damp cloth and avoid excessive moisture. The product description doesn’t list removable tray floors or washable pads, so you’ll want to add your own crate mat or tray for easier cleaning of the interior floor.

Safety considerations

Safety is always the top priority. From the listing and owner notes, here’s how this unit stacks up:

• Latch and door security: The crate includes a movable sliding door with a secure latch designed to prevent escapes. Owners note the latch avoids accidental openings.
• Electrical safety: The built-in power strip is described as having a bite-resistant in-cage isolation space; it includes Type-C, USB and two AC outlets. That feature is useful but still check cables and keep cords out of a pet’s reach — listing language doesn’t replace good cord management practices.
• Materials and chewing: The cabinet is made from engineered wood (MDF/particle-board type) and iron. Owner experiences explicitly describe the wood as particle-board-like; that material is not chew-proof. If you have a power chewer, this is not the safest interior-facing surface to leave exposed to a dog that’s inclined to gnaw.
• Weight and placement: The piece weighs 134.7 pounds assembled. Ensure your floor can handle that concentrated weight and that the unit is placed where it won’t tip or slide during use.

If you need a crate rated for heavy chewers or for very large, strong dogs, the listing and owner experience both indicate this piece is built for small-to-medium breeds and everyday use rather than escape-proof, indestructible confinement.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

I break this down by the most likely buyer questions and use cases.

Great fit if you:

• Have one or two small-to-medium dogs and want crate functionality that blends into living spaces.
• Want built-in storage for leashes, toys and small pet supplies and prefer furniture styling over a wire cage look.
• Appreciate small conveniences like a rotatable feeding station with dishwasher-safe stainless bowls and an integrated power strip for charging devices.
• Are comfortable assembling a heavy furniture kit and have help — expect a multi-hour build.

Skip this if you:

• Have a large-breed dog — the listing recommends medium and owners confirm it won’t fit large dogs comfortably.
• Have a power chewer who will gnaw engineered-wood panels — owner notes specifically call the material a particle-board type, which can be damaged by chewing.
• Want a lightweight or portable crate; at 134.7 pounds this is not designed to be moved frequently.
• Expect a perfectly labeled, plug-and-play assembly — several owners report unlabeled pieces and mismatched instruction images, which increases setup time and frustration.

Durability and longevity — what to expect over time

There’s no long-term warranty information in the product description and the listing doesn’t specify a lifespan. Owner feedback characterizes the piece as decent for the price and relatively thick for an MDF-style cabinet, but there are no extensive reports of long-term structural failure in the available owner notes.

• Pros: looks like the photos, decent quality for engineered wood and iron construction.
• Cons: particle-board-type materials are vulnerable to heavy chewing and moisture; drawers are useful but narrower than some buyers expect.

Given the materials and owner impressions, expect typical furniture-style longevity for MDF and iron pieces — attractive and functional with normal use, but not indestructible against chewing, moisture, or rough handling.

Assembly: what to know before you start

Assembly is a major factor for anyone buying a large furniture crate. The listing doesn’t give a detailed time estimate, but owner experience shows a range: one owner cited an estimated build time of 45 minutes with two people but reported the real-world time stretched to around three hours. Issues reported during assembly include unlabeled pieces and instruction images that don’t match the parts in the box, plus EZ screws that take practice.

• Plan for two people and a multi-hour assembly session.
• Sort and identify all parts before you begin and follow the advice to set aside the first step if it’s confusing — an owner note suggested that the first step wasn’t actually needed immediately.
• Keep a screwdriver and a bit of patience handy; the hardware may take some extra time to settle into place.

Verdict — the Pet Dude take

I like the EQEY 71-inch furniture dog crate when the goal is to have a crate that looks like furniture and offers practical storage and feeding conveniences. The integrated rotatable feeder with four dishwasher-safe stainless bowls, the three smooth-gliding fluted drawers, and the power strip with Type-C/USB/AC options are thoughtful additions that many pet households will appreciate.

That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. The materials are engineered wood (MDF) and iron — attractive and reasonably sturdy, but not chew-proof. It’s best for small-to-medium dogs (the listing recommends medium breeds) and for owners who are prepared for a longer assembly process and some parts-finding frustration. If you have a large dog or a power chewer, or if you need an escape-proof, heavy-duty crate, this piece is not the right fit.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Confirm the external dimensions (71 x 23.6 x 34.7 inches) will fit the space where you plan to place it.
• Verify your dog’s size: listing recommends medium breeds; owner notes indicate best for small-to-medium dogs (not large breeds).
• Decide whether engineered wood (MDF) is acceptable for your household — it’s not chew-proof.
• Plan for assembly help and time — owners report the build can take much longer than the optimistic estimate.
• Have a washable crate pad or tray ready — the listing doesn’t include a removable floor tray for quick cleanup.

Final pros & cons

Pros

• Furniture-style appearance that blends with living spaces.

• Built-in power strip with Type-C, USB and two AC outlets in a bite-resistant isolation space.

Cons

• Engineered wood (MDF/particle-board-like) construction — not ideal for power chewers.
• Assembly can be slow and frustrating; some owners report unlabeled parts and instructions that don’t match pieces.
• Not suitable for large-breed dogs.
• Drawers are narrower than some buyers expect (long but not deep).

Colors available

• Walnut (listed color)

Available color per the listing: Walnut. Image filenames on the listing don’t name additional colors, so Walnut is the conservative, confirmed option to expect.

Verdict summary

If you want a furniture-grade crate for small-to-medium dogs that doubles as storage and a charging station, the EQEY 71-inch double crate is a strong stylistic match and feature-packed. Expect a time-consuming assembly and treat the piece like furniture — attractive and functional, but not indestructible. For families with large dogs or heavy chewers, look for a purpose-built heavy-duty metal crate instead.
