Grepatio 79" Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro — why I spent time with this TV-stand-style double crate

As someone who likes pet gear that pulls double duty, I was curious about the Grepatio 79" Double Dog Crate Furniture. The idea of a kennel that looks like a piece of furniture, holds two dogs or one large dog with the divider removed, and includes built-in feeding bowls sounded useful for families who want the crate close to the living room without an obvious metal box ruining the décor.

In this review I walk through what this unit actually is, how it functions in daily life, the materials and build signals I noticed, safety points every pet parent should check, and who I think this fits (and who should skip it). I also pull in long-term owner experiences I tracked to give real-world context on fit, feeding bowls, assembly, and durability.

What it is — first look and key specs

At a glance the Grepatio Double Dog Crate Furniture is a furniture-style indoor dog kennel designed to house two dogs in separate compartments or one large dog when the removable partition is taken out. The listing gives the overall item dimensions as 78.7" L x 27.6" W x 33.5" H and specifically calls out several design features I care about:

• Removable partition to create one large space or two separate rooms.
• Four doors (front and side access) for easy entry and exit.
• 360° rotating feeder bowls — each side’s front door includes two swivel bowls for feeding.
• Sturdy construction claims: heavy-duty metal frame with high-quality wood and chew-resistant design.
• Raised base with roughly 5.9" clearance to allow a sweeper free access for cleaning under the unit.
• Weight capacity up to 350 pounds.
• Furniture versatility: top surface intended to function as a side table or TV stand.

The product is sold as an indoor crate, targeted at large-breed dogs, and arrives with a bowl included and a full set of hardware and instructions. The manufacturer recommends two people for assembly.

In daily use / hands-on testing

My approach here is to combine the model’s stated features with long-term owner themes I collected. That gives a practical sense of how this crate behaves as furniture and as a kennel.

Setup & assembly

The listing says the crate ships with a full set of hardware and clear instructions and recommends assembly with two people. From that description I treated setup as a two-person job: the parts are large (the whole unit is nearly 79" long) and the structure is meant to be sturdy, so having a second set of hands for alignment makes sense.

Owner experiences I saw echo this: people generally described the unit as "fairly easy to put together" when following the included instructions. The listing’s recommendation to assemble with two people is practical and consistent with the dimensions.

Daily access and feeding

One of the neat convenience features here is the 360° rotating feeder bowls mounted on the front doors — two per front door, so each dog-side has two bowls. The idea is convenient: you can swing a bowl in when it’s feeding time and swing it away afterward. In real use this removes the need for separate floor bowls in front of the crate.

Note from owner themes: some owners said the bowls are on the small side. If your dog is a big gulper or needs large water capacity, plan for that; the listing confirms the bowls are included but doesn’t say whether they’re dishwasher-safe.

Partitioning, space, and how dogs use it

The removable divider is central to how flexible this unit is. The listing explicitly says the partition can be removed to create one large space for giant breeds or kept in place to create two rooms for medium dogs—this is the main selling point for multi-dog homes.

Owner experiences line up with that promise. Several owners praised the unit as a "puppy condo" with lots of room when used as a single space; others reported that it’s a great size for two medium to small dogs. There were sizing cautions too: at least one owner noted a German Shepherd barely fits, so measuring your dog against the unit’s dimensions before ordering is essential.

Appearance and living-room fit

The crate is sold as furniture-style and the listing highlights that it can double as a side table or TV stand. Owners liked that it looks more like a piece of furniture than just a cage, and that the top surface gives you a place for decorations, plants, or pet supplies. If keeping your crate subtle in the living room matters, this model aims for that balance.

Materials & build quality

The product listing calls out a heavy-duty metal frame and high-quality wood components. Material type is listed as metal, and the listing claims the unit is "sturdy and chew-resistant." Those are the official material signals; owner reports also noted "sturdy materials" and a general sense that the unit holds up better than typical thin-wire crates.

• Frame: Heavy-duty metal frame (material type listed as metal).
• Panels/top: High-quality wood is called out in the listing as part of the sturdy structure and furniture look.
• Finish & look: Designed to read as furniture rather than industrial crate; owners appreciated the living-room aesthetic.
• Included components: The listing states a bowl is included and that a full set of hardware comes in the box.

Overall I view the construction as thoughtfully balanced for indoor, furniture-style use: metal frame for strength, wood surfaces for the look. That said, the listing doesn’t provide details on exact metal type, wood species, or finish processes, so I can’t comment on scratch or moisture resistance beyond the claim that the unit resists destructive chewing.

Cleaning and day-to-day maintenance

There are a couple of features that make cleaning easier. The listing specifically mentions a 5.9-inch raised base so the sweeper has access underneath the unit. That’s a small but practical touch: if you keep the crate in a living area where hair and crumbs collect, that clearance matters.

The 360° swivel bowls make feeding simpler, but the listing doesn’t specify bowl material or whether they’re dishwasher-safe. Some owners did say the bowls felt small; there’s no explicit guidance in the listing on how to remove or deep-clean the bowls, so you should expect to hand-wash them unless you confirm otherwise with the manufacturer.

Safety considerations — what to check before you buy

Safety for any crate comes down to fit, escape risks, materials, and how the dog uses the space. Here are the safety facts and ownership themes I’d emphasize:

• Weight limit: The listing states the kennel can hold up to 350 pounds. That’s a firm load capacity to guide whether a pair of dogs or a single large dog is appropriate.
• Fit is crucial: The listing recommends large-breed use. Owner notes warn that large breeds like German Shepherds can be a tight fit, so measure your dog against the crate’s overall dimensions (78.7" x 27.6" x 33.5") before ordering.
• Removable divider: Use this as intended—if you remove it to make one large space, double-check that door latches and internal fittings are secure for a single large dog.
• Chew-resistance claims: The listing calls the unit chew-resistant because of the heavy-duty metal frame and wood. Owners described the materials as sturdy, but if you have a highly destructive power chewer, any crate should be considered with caution—no product is chew-proof indefinitely.
• Doors and bowls: The crate has four entry/exit doors and swivel bowls mounted on the front doors. Make sure bowls are latched or stowed safely when not in use, and be aware bowls are reported to be relatively small.

If you need a professional-level safety clearance for a specific medical or behavioral condition, consult a qualified professional or professional trainer—this review sticks to listing facts and owner experience themes.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

This is where I get practical about fit, lifestyle, and expectations.

Who I recommend it for

• Households with two medium dogs who want separate but adjacent kennels.
• Owners who want a crate that blends into living room decor and can serve as a side table or TV stand.
• Families that value handy feeding options — the 360° rotating bowls are a neat space-saver when feeding inside the crate.
• People who want a sturdier, metal-framed furniture-style crate rather than a lightweight wire kennel.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Owners of very large breeds where tight fit is a concern—one owner noted a German Shepherd barely fit. Measure your dog against the listed dimensions first.
• Power chewers who need indestructible containment—while the listing calls the crate "chew-resistant," no crate is guaranteed chew-proof for extreme destructive behavior.
• Buyers who need specific cleaning specs (dishwasher-safe bowls, exact finishes) — the listing does not specify bowl composition or dishwasher compatibility.

Durability & longevity — what to expect over time

The listing positions the crate as heavy-duty with a metal frame and high-quality wood, and owner themes repeatedly used words like "sturdy" and "great kennel." I didn’t see owner themes flagging specific breakage or collapse issues; instead, owners reported that the unit lives up to its furniture look and holds up reasonably well.

That said, long-term durability will depend on how the crate is used—constant chewing, outdoor exposure, or heavy wet conditions would stress wooden surfaces and metal joints differently than quiet indoor use. The 350 lb capacity gives a sense of the structural strength, and several owners reported good stability in everyday living-room use.

Value & practical considerations

• Functionality: Combines kennel, feeding solution, and furniture top surface — good value if you want fewer standalone pieces.
• Included parts: Bowl(s) and full hardware are included, which reduces extra costs out of the box.
• Assembly: The listing recommends two people; owners found the instructions clear and assembly manageable with two helpers.
• Sizing options: The listing shows at least one other size available (62.9" x 23.6" x 27.9"), so you can choose a smaller footprint if the 79" model is too large.

Verdict — final thoughts and who should buy it

On balance I like what Grepatio is trying to do here: a furniture-style double crate that serves as a practical kennel, a feeding station with swivel bowls, and a living-room surface. The combination of metal frame and wood surfaces delivers the furniture look without feeling flimsy, and the removable partition makes it flexible for one large dog or two smaller dogs.

My recommendation checklist:

• Measure your dog(s) against the stated dimensions (78.7" L x 27.6" W x 33.5" H) before ordering.
• Plan for two people to assemble: the listing recommends it and owner experience confirms it helps.
• Expect included swivel bowls; if you need larger bowls or dishwasher-safe options, confirm bowl specs with the manufacturer because the listing doesn’t specify bowl material or dishwashing guidance.
• Use the removable partition intentionally — it’s designed to convert two rooms into one large area for bigger breeds.
• Keep in mind the 350 lb capacity when planning which dogs share the unit.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the unit’s footprint fits your space — it’s nearly 79" long in the model reviewed.
• Measure your dog from nose to tail and shoulder height; owners reported tight fits for some large breeds.
• Decide whether the included bowls meet your feeding needs — owners describe them as somewhat small.
• Plan for indoor use only; the listing labels this as an indoor dog crate furniture product.
• Remember the unit is intended for large dogs and has a 350 lb capacity — use that as your core sizing constraint.

Small practical Q&A

Below are quick answers to the most common practical questions I see people asking about a unit like this — all drawn from the product description and owner experience themes.

Key pros

• Furniture-style look that fits living rooms.
• Removable divider for flexibility between two dogs or one large dog.
• 360° rotating feeder bowls built into the doors.
• Heavy-duty metal frame and wood surfaces for a sturdier feel than wire crates.
• Raised base (about 5.9") for easier floor cleaning underneath.

Key cons

• Bowls are reported to be small; the listing doesn’t state bowl material or dishwasher safety.
• Sizing can be tight for certain very large breeds; one owner said a German Shepherd barely fits.
• If your dog is a determined chewer, no crate is guaranteed chew-proof despite chew-resistant claims.

Colors and appearance

The product listing explicitly lists the color as Black and Brown. Below is the short color list I saw from the listing and image cues:

Final verdict

If you want a dual-purpose crate that reads more like furniture than a kennel and you have medium-to-large dogs that fit within the listed dimensions and weight limit, the Grepatio 79" Double Dog Crate Furniture is a solid option. It’s an attractive living-room solution, offers helpful feeding features, and the heavy-duty frame and wood panels position it above basic wire crates in look and presence.

Measure carefully for very large breeds, consider whether the included bowls meet your needs, and plan to assemble with a helper. If those boxes check out, this model is a practical and stylish crate that will blend into your living spaces.
