GAOMON Double Dog Crate Furniture Review — stylish kennel + storage

Intro — why I tested this

As a pet parent who likes gear that pulls double duty, I’m always on the hunt for dog products that look like furniture instead of a kennel shoved into the living room. The GAOMON Dog Crate Furniture (78.7") promises a stylish, sturdy solution for two dogs while doubling as storage and a low-profile piece of furniture. That combination — crate plus drawers, shelves, and feeding bowls — is exactly the kind of product I wanted to test hands-on and break down for fellow owners who want a tidy home without sacrificing secure indoor kennels.

What it is: first look and specs

In plain terms, this is a furniture-style double dog crate designed for indoor use. The model I tested measures 78.7" long by 19.7" deep and 33.5" high, and it weighs 85 pounds as a packaged unit. The main structure is made from wood and metal; the product ships with drawers and feeding bowls included. The GAOMON listing also highlights reinforced metal bars, dual latches on each door, a water-resistant surface coating, and a “sturdy frame” intended to keep the piece steady.

In daily use / hands-on testing

I evaluated the piece by treating it like a real furniture item: I set it up in a living space, put beds inside each kennel section, loaded one drawer with leashes and another with grooming gear, and used the feeding bowls the listing includes. My take focuses on how it behaves as both a dog crate and home furniture.

How the dogs reacted

• Comfort & fit: The listing recommends small and medium dogs, and the compartment sizing feels appropriate for that use. In practice, medium dogs that can curl up in a standard wire kennel fit comfortably when given a low-profile bed inside.
• Access & feeding: Each enclosed section comes with two feeding bowls, so pets can eat and drink without the owner opening a door. The drawers are smooth-gliding, which makes refilling and wiping bowls straightforward.

Daily convenience

• Storage usefulness: I appreciated the two roomy drawers and open compartments for storing toys, leashes, treats, and grooming supplies. The listing includes exact dimensions for the drawers (30.7"L x 12.8"D x 3.1"H) and for the open compartments (front two: 11.8"L x 19"D x 10.4"H; rear: 11.8"L x 19"D x 9.5"H), which helped me plan what would fit where.
• Maintenance: The listing notes a water-resistant surface coating; in practice, a damp cloth cleaned pet hair and minor spills with little effort.
• Feeding bowls: Bowls are included and make the feeding setup low-effort, but they’re not premium — they can shift if nudged, which means I secured them during use to avoid spills.

Assembly & delivery experience

• Packaging: The furniture arrives in two boxes. Because the assembled unit is heavy (85 pounds), expect bulky shipments. The company packs pieces with foam and edging; I saw dented boxes but protected parts in the packout.
• Tools & instructions: The listing says each box contains clear, step-by-step instructions and all necessary tools. In practice, assembly is a multi-piece job and benefits from two people because of the weight and number of panels.
• Time & fuss: Putting this together takes patience — there are a lot of pieces and hardware. If you want a quick setup, plan for two people and a couple of hours for careful assembly.

Materials & build quality

The listing calls out wood and metal construction with reinforced metal bars, and my handling supports that description. The overall finish aims for a modern, minimalist look that fits in living rooms when used as a TV stand or sideboard.

What feels solid

• Thick wood panels: The panels are substantial and lend a heavy, sturdy presence. That solidity helps the piece feel like furniture rather than a lightweight crate.
• Metal reinforcement: Doors use metal bars and each door has dual latches, which contribute to perceived security for crated pets.
• Stable frame: The frame resists wobble once assembled correctly and placed on a level floor.

Where it could be better

• Feeding bowl quality: The included bowls aren’t the most stable; they can shift and aren’t described as the highest-end components.
• Package handling: Although pieces are well protected internally, the weight can lead to beat-up outer boxes during shipping; inspect parts during unpacking.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority, so here’s what the listing and long-term use notes tell us directly.

Built-in safety features

• Dual latches per door and reinforced metal bars are specified, which help keep pets secure inside their compartment.
• Water-resistant surface coating makes cleaning spills easier and reduces the risk of wood warping from minor moisture exposure.
• Design intended for indoor use; use it indoors only as the listing specifies.

Potential risks & owner notes

• Weight & handling: At 85 pounds, the unit is heavy. Two people are recommended for moving and assembly to avoid injury.
• Bowls shifting: The included bowls can be unstable if nudged; unsecured bowls may cause spills and a slippery surface around the crate.
• Chewing & escape: The listing notes reinforced metal bars and dual latches, but it doesn’t claim chew-proof or escape-proof performance against power chewers. If your dog is a dedicated chewer, the listing doesn’t specify chew resistance, so choose accordingly.

Fit & sizing: which pets this suits

This product is explicitly recommended for small and medium dogs. With two enclosed sections and a 78.7" overall length, it’s intended for households with two small-to-medium dogs or one dog that benefits from a larger dual-section layout.

By pet size and life stage

• Small dogs: Good fit. The compartment sizes and recommended breed range make it a sensible home for small adult dogs and puppies that will grow into a small-dog size — check compartment dimensions against your dog’s measurements.
• Medium dogs: Suitable for many medium adults. The listing and hands-on fit indicate medium dogs can rest comfortably inside with a low-profile bed.
• Large dogs: The listing recommends small and medium breeds; it does not claim suitability for large breeds, and you should not assume it’s appropriate for large or giant breeds.

Cleaning & maintenance

• Wipe-down cleaning: The water-resistant coating allows for easy wipe-downs of surfaces and quick cleanup of minor spills.
• Drawer access: Smooth-gliding drawers simplify organizing and give easy access to stored pet supplies.
• Bowl care: Because the listing includes feeding bowls, remove and clean them separately; secure them if they shift during feeding.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Who should consider the GAOMON double-dog crate

• Owners who want a furniture-style crate that blends into living areas while giving two enclosed spaces for pets.
• Households with two small or two medium dogs, or one medium dog that benefits from a roomy sleeping area and integrated feeding setup.
• Owners who value built-in storage: the drawers and open compartments are genuinely helpful for taming leash, grooming kit, and food clutter.
• People who don’t want to sacrifice style for function — the minimalist look works as TV stand or console when topped with a flat-screen or decorative items.

Who should skip or proceed with caution

• If you have a very large or powerful chewer, the listing doesn’t state chew-proof performance — look for products specifically rated for heavy chewers.
• If you need an ultra-light or easily movable crate: this unit is heavy (85 pounds) and ships in two boxes — it’s not ideal if you plan to move it frequently.
• If you want premium, non-shifting feeding bowls out of the box: the included bowls work but aren’t the most stable; plan to replace or secure them if needed.
• Those who need a very fast, single-person assembly: expect multiple pieces and a job for two people; it’s best to have help.

Verdict — final thoughts

GAOMON’s 78.7" Dog Crate Furniture is exactly what it advertises: a heavy, furniture-grade double crate that doubles as a storage unit and feeding station for small and medium dogs. The combination of wood panels, reinforced metal bars, dual door latches, and a water-resistant surface gives the piece both home-friendly looks and kennel functionality. The built-in drawers and open compartments are genuinely useful and well-proportioned for pet supplies. If you want a hidden crate that looks like a TV stand and keeps two dogs contained securely indoors, this is a compelling option.

Strengths

• Well-built feel: thick wood panels and metal reinforcements create a sturdy piece.
• Smart storage: large drawers and open compartments are handy for organizing pet gear.
• Practical feeding setup: bowls included and drawers make refills easier.
• Easy cleaning: water-resistant surface coating wipes down neatly.

Weaknesses

• Heft: the 85-pound packaged weight means two people are best for moving and assembly.
• Bowls quality: included bowls can be unstable and may need securing or replacement.
• Assembly time and complexity: lots of parts and hardware mean assembly is tedious for one person.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Confirm your dog size: the listing recommends small and medium dogs — measure your pet and compare to the compartment space you need.
• Plan help for assembly: the product ships in two boxes and weighs 85 pounds; have a friend or family member assist.
• Decide on bowl setup: if you prefer stable, heavy bowls, be ready to swap the included options.
• Measure your living room: at 78.7" long and 33.5" high, this is a large furniture piece — ensure it fits your space.
• Inspect parts on arrival: boxes can arrive dented; unpack carefully and check components before assembly.

FAQ
