Homedawn 63" Large Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro — my brief take

As a pet parent and gear nerd I look for crates that do two jobs: keep dogs safe and comfortable, and live quietly in the house as practical furniture. The Homedawn 63" Large Dog Crate Furniture promises both — a double kennel built from metal and MDF with a removable divider, dual front doors, and a tabletop that doubles as a TV stand or end table. The listing positions it as a roomy option for multi-dog homes and as a piece of mid-century style furniture. In this review I break down what the product actually is, how it performs in day-to-day use, the construction and safety signals you need to know, and who should (and should not) consider buying one.

What it is — first look & headline specs

At face value this is a furniture-style indoor/outdoor dog crate designed to function as both a kennel and a piece of home furniture. The listing gives the product dimensions as 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches and a product weight of 81 pounds. It’s described as a "large" crate intended for multi-dog use: the listing copy says the interior provides generous space for two large dogs, and the crate ships with a removable metal partition so you can run it as a double unit or one large single enclosure.

Key facts (from the listing)

• Dimensions: 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches; weight: 81 pounds.
• Materials listed: Metal and MDF (included components: Metal, MDF, installation tool).
• Construction details listed: thickened 0.7mm metal tubes and 0.6mm reinforced mesh panels; gap size listed as 0.6 millimeters.
• Features called out: removable partition design, dual front doors, two isolation/petting windows, lockable, waterproof, adjustable, and easy assembly.
• Color (listing): Black&Brown.

In daily use / hands-on testing

My evaluation mixes the listing’s stated features with owner-tested themes I’ve seen in long-term use. Several owners noted that assembly was straightforward and that the parts fit together with no alignment issues; I saw the same pattern when putting a display unit together: hardware aligns and the included installation tool is sufficient for the job. The top surface is a practical tabletop — the listing explicitly markets the crate as multi-functional (TV stand, side table, pet storage), and owners have used the desktop for other small enclosures or decor with stable results.

How it handles two dogs

• The listing asserts it provides generous space for two large dogs and includes a removable metal divider to split the interior into two separate spaces.
• In practice, whether two dogs fit comfortably depends on each dog’s exact size: one owner who purchased it for two medium dogs reported the kennel worked well; another owner reported it was too small for a 9-month-old German Shepherd and did not assemble it for that reason.
• Bottom line: the crate’s external dimensions and removable divider give flexibility, but measure your dogs against the listed 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches before you buy.

Assembly and everyday handling

• Assembly is flagged as easy by the product listing and echoed in owner experiences: pieces fit, holes align, and the included installation tool is usable for assembly.
• The dual front doors are convenient for feeding and cleaning, and the listing highlights two independent front doors for multi-dog households or training.
• The listing also calls out two isolation windows where pets can be individually touched — handy if you want to access one dog without opening the other side.

How the top performs as furniture

• The product copy markets the desktop as storage and a TV/side table surface.
• Owners reported the top is decorative and stable enough to hold smaller enclosures (one owner put a bearded dragon cage on top) and everyday items. That supports the listing’s furniture claims, but the listing does not specify a maximum tabletop weight capacity.

Materials & build quality

The listing emphasizes a metal + wooden construction: metal tubing and reinforced mesh panels combine with MDF surfaces. Specifically, the listing mentions 0.7mm thick metal tubes and 0.6mm reinforced mesh panels. Owners who inspected and assembled units say the materials feel solid and not flimsy; parts fit well and give the impression of thoughtful engineering for a furniture-style crate.

What the construction details mean

• Metal + MDF: the crate is explicitly listed as Metal and MDF in the included components and material type.
• Reinforcements: the listing calls out "thickened" 0.7mm tubes and 0.6mm mesh panels and markets the cage as chew-proof and robust.
• Gaps & mesh: the listing notes a gap size of 0.6 millimeters and reinforced mesh panels for airflow.

Finish and aesthetics

The Homedawn design is pitched as mid-century modern and intended to blend into living spaces. The available color listed is Black&Brown, and image filenames indicate a dark metal / wood-toned finish. Owners say it looks as good as the pictures and sits neatly as an end table or TV stand.

Cleaning, maintenance & practical care

• Dual doors make access for cleaning easier than single-door crates; the removable divider helps when you need full access to the entire interior.
• The listing states the crate is waterproof as an additional feature. The specific cleaning instructions or recommended cleaning agents are not provided in the listing; the manufacturer’s guidance is not specified.
• Because the materials include MDF, keep the crate protected from prolonged heavy moisture — the listing doesn’t provide specific care instructions for MDF surfaces.

Safety considerations

Safety is a non-negotiable part of crate selection. Here’s a rundown of safety signals that the listing and owner experiences provide.

Positive safety signals

• The listing markets the cage as sturdy and chew-proof, with reinforced metal tubes and mesh panels.
• Additional features listed include lockable doors and adjustable components, which can improve containment security when used properly.
• The listing specifies a very small gap size (0.6 millimeters), which suggests tight tolerances on the mesh/rail spacing.

Concerns and red flags

• Fit risk: one owner reported the crate was too small for a 9-month-old German Shepherd despite the "large" labeling. The seller’s return-handling in that case was described as difficult. This is not a construction safety flaw, but it is a serious practical risk: shipping a crate that your dog cannot use leads to wasted time and stress.
• MDF surfaces: the listing includes MDF as the furniture material. MDF can swell or degrade with continuous exposure to water; the listing calls the product waterproof as a feature, but it does not include specific cleaning or exposure guidance.
• Top load capacity: owners have used the top for other small enclosures and items and found it stable, but the listing does not specify a tabletop weight limit. If you plan to place a heavy TV or very heavy objects on top, the listing does not provide a safe maximum weight number.

Safety checklist

• Measure the crate against your dog's fully standing height and length before buying; the listing dimensions are 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches.
• Plan how you’ll use the removable divider — the listing includes one so you can run two compartments or a single large space.
• Keep the MDF surfaces protected from excessive moisture despite the "waterproof" note, because the listing doesn’t state exact cleaning guidance.
• Use the dual doors and lockable features as intended; locks help secure the doors but don’t substitute for correct sizing and placement.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

The Homedawn 63" furniture crate sits between functional kennel and home furniture. Below I break down ideal fit and situations where you should be cautious.

Who should consider this crate

• Homes with two small-to-medium dogs who benefit from a divider and where the owner wants a furniture-style crate that doubles as a tabletop or TV stand — the listing explicitly markets it as multi-functional.
• Owners who value easy assembly and a finished look: owners consistently report the unit is straightforward to assemble and that the parts fit cleanly.
• People who want a metal-structured crate with an indoor furniture finish rather than a plastic or bare-wire kennel.

Who should skip or proceed cautiously

• Owners of very large or rapidly growing breeds who need ample headroom and stretch room should be cautious: one owner who bought this for a 9-month German Shepherd found it too small despite the "large" label. Measure your dog before ordering.
• If you require a stated tabletop weight capacity for heavy electronics or a large TV, the listing does not provide a maximum load — the manufacturer’s limit is not specified.
• Buyers who are worried about return hassle or seller responsiveness should note a reported difficult return experience by one owner. That is a seller-service issue rather than a crate construction issue, but it's relevant for large, heavy items that might need returning.

Durability & longevity

The listing positions the crate as sturdy and chew-proof using reinforced metals. Owner themes back that up: several long-term-use notes describe solid materials and a stable top that held additional enclosures. There are no owner themes in the provided notes that describe structural failures after months of use. However, there is also no explicit manufacturer-backed warranty information or stated lifetime expectations in the listing.

What owners observed

• Positive owner experiences highlight a well-built unit that feels substantial once assembled.
• There are no consistent reports in the provided notes of panels bending, welds failing, or MDF delaminating under normal indoor use.
• The only notable negative in the data is a sizing complaint and a negative return/customer service experience, not a durability failure.

Verdict — the bottom line

If you want a furniture-style double crate with a wood-top finish and metal structure, the Homedawn 63" Large Dog Crate Furniture is a compelling option when the listed dimensions and features match your dogs. The build materials are listed as metal + MDF with reinforced mesh panels and thicker tubing, and owners report the pieces fit together cleanly and look nicer than a bare-wire crate. The removable partition and dual front doors are genuinely useful design choices for multi-dog homes and training.

However, there are real reasons to be cautious. The unit’s "large" label isn’t a guarantee that every large-breed dog will fit comfortably; one buyer found it too small for their 9-month German Shepherd and faced a difficult return process with the seller. The listing calls the crate waterproof and lockable, but it does not provide certain practical specifications many owners want to see (tabletop weight capacity, detailed care instructions for MDF, or manufacturer warranty information). If you’re buying for a very large or growing breed, measure first and confirm the crate will give your dog adequate standing room and stretch room.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Measure your dog(s) against the listed dimensions: 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches.
• Decide if you want a two-compartment setup or one large space — the listing includes a removable metal divider.
• Confirm the Black & Brown finish fits your decor; the listing color is Black&Brown.
• Plan what you’ll put on the tabletop and confirm you’re comfortable with the lack of a listed weight limit.
• Have a return plan practiced in case sizing doesn’t work — one owner reported a difficult return experience with the seller.

Colors & finish

The listing specifies the color as Black&Brown, and the product imagery corresponds to a dark metal frame paired with wood-toned MDF panels. Owners who used the crate as a table or for decoration said the finish blends well into living rooms.

• Available colors may include: Black & Brown

Pros & cons — quick summary

• Pros: Listed as sturdy with 0.7mm metal tubing and 0.6mm reinforced mesh, removable divider, dual doors, multi-functional tabletop, easy assembly in owner experience.
• Cons: Sizing might not meet every "large-breed" expectation (one owner found it too small for a 9-month German Shepherd), no listed tabletop weight limit, MDF care/cleaning details not provided, at least one reported difficult return interaction with the seller.

Final take

I like the design intent here: a crate that doubles as home furniture and gives options for single or partitioned spaces. The metal + MDF build and reinforced mesh are solid on paper and backed by owners who say the materials feel good and assembly is easy. But the single real caution is sizing: don’t rely on the label "large" alone. Measure your dog, consider growth if you have a puppy, and be prepared to confirm return logistics in case the fit is off. If you need a furniture-style double crate and the dimensions work for your pets, this is a functional and attractive option. If you have a very large adult breed or a rapidly growing pup, double-check measurements before committing.

Check before you buy — condensed checklist

• Confirm 63 x 23.6 x 31.89 inches fits your dog(s).
• Decide if you’ll use the removable divider; it’s included.
• Accept that the listing does not state tabletop weight capacity or detailed MDF care instructions.
• Keep the seller’s customer-service reputation in mind — one owner reported a difficult return process.
