PAPIHO 86.6" Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude, and I live for pet gear that pulls double duty: great for the animals, tolerable for the living room. The PAPIHO 86.6" Double Dog Crate Furniture is one of those pieces that aims to be crate and console in one — engineered wood and metal, six fabric drawers, removable divider for one- or two-room layouts, and adjustable stainless-steel feeder bowls. It’s pitched as a heavy-duty, chew-resistant option for larger breeds, and in this review I break down the features, what to watch for, and who this actually works for.

What it is / first look

At a glance this is a furniture-style dog crate: a long, rectangular console that hides metal crate doors behind a wood-like exterior and adds storage drawers on the front. The listing lists the overall dimensions as 86.6 x 27.4 x 37.8 inches with an inner room size of 84 x 25.4 x 27.7 inches. The crate is described as constructed from an upgraded metal frame, iron bars, and thickened P2 particle board (listed as engineered wood), and it ships with a removable divider, adjustable feeder bowls, and six fabric drawers.

Key features called out in the listing:

• 2-in-1 rooms — remove the iron fence in the middle to switch between one large space or two separate rooms.
• Adjustable feeder bowls — two side-mounted feeder housings with four stainless-steel bowls that rotate 360° and are removable for cleaning.
• Furniture functionality — marketed to double as a TV stand, side table, or display stand; the desktop is rated to bear 150 pounds and the bottom 200 pounds per the listing.
• Storage — six fabric drawers integrated below the top surface for tidying leashes, toys, or small supplies.
• Included components — bowls, divider, drawers.

The default color listed is 86.6" BROWN, and the product page includes multiple images (image filenames shown in the listing). The manufacturer and brand are both PAPIHO, and the listing marks the product as intended for indoor use.

In daily use

When you start treating a piece of furniture like a dog crate, practical details matter more than showroom style. Below I walk through how this piece behaves in the real world, using the listing details and the research notes collected from owners.

Large breeds

The listing specifically calls the inner room size ideal for large dogs up to 90 lbs. The interior dimensions (84 x 25.4 x 27.7 inches) give a lot of floor length for long or tall dogs, and owners’ impressions in the research notes repeatedly flagged that big dogs fit comfortably — examples mention two big breeds fitting together. The structure is marketed as heavy-duty and chew-resistant, thanks to the upgraded metal frame, thickened particle board, and iron bars.

That said, if your dog is a determined chewer or escape artist, read the safety section below closely — there are real-world notes about latch performance that affect whether a large, clever dog stays put.

Multi-dog households

This crate is explicitly sold as a 2-in-1 option: the iron fence divider in the middle can be removed to create one large space, or left in to create two separate rooms. The listing highlights that functionality for families with either one large dog or two smaller/medium dogs. The built-in bowls are present on both sides, and the feeder housings rotate 360° so you can swing them out to give dogs more room when needed.

Daily convenience and upkeep

Cleaning is partly addressed in the listing: the stainless-steel bowls are removable for cleaning, and the product lists “easy to clean” as an additional feature. The listing also emphasizes pre-assembled parts and serial-numbered boards to speed installation. That said, the research notes I worked from show a mix of experiences with assembly — some owners found the setup easy, others said it was not simple and mentioned small assembly issues (a screw popping out while sliding a board into place, for example).

One more operational detail to plan for: the crate’s bottom surface is described by research notes as slippery for dogs stepping in and out. Placing a non-slip mat or a blanket on the floor inside the crate is a simple mitigation the listing itself does not specify.

Materials & build quality

The listing is specific about materials: the crate combines an upgraded metal frame and iron bars with thickened P2 particle board (listed under material type as engineered wood). The bowls are stainless steel and removable. The listing claims the desktop supports 150 pounds and the bottom supports 200 pounds, and the crate has a dual-door and dual-lock design.

Performance notes from research: the piece is generally described as sturdy and visually attractive — multiple notes praise how it blends into living rooms and stands up to being used by large dogs. The listing also claims the product is chew-resistant and suitable for highly anxious dogs; that aligns with the heavier metal framing and iron bars called out by the manufacturer.

However, there are a few build quirks to be aware of: one owner described a screw coming out while sliding a piece into place during assembly; another mentioned the connection where the two cages meet (when the divider is removed) didn’t connect properly. Those sorts of fit-and-finish issues don’t negate a solid overall build, but they are the most common durability caveats in the research notes.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority, so here are the visible flags that come from the listing and the research notes.

• Locks and escape risk: The listing advertises a dual-door, dual-lock design. In practice, the research notes include at least one account where a dog opened the latch in under 30 minutes by pawing at the door. That same account described the latch as “barely latches.” Based on that, I advise treating the included locks as a first-line solution but planning a backup if your dog is inclined to test boundaries (see checklist below).
• Slippery floor: Research notes indicate the bottom surface can be slippery for dogs stepping in and out, especially when excited. The listing doesn’t list a non-slip interior surface, so plan to add a mat or blankets that won’t bunch up and create a tripping hazard.
• Chew resistance vs. determined chewers: The listing calls the crate chew-resistant and “best for highly anxious dogs,” with upgraded metal frame and iron bars. That sounds promising, but if your dog is a committed chewer, test the finish and any joins as soon as you unbox; research notes don’t contain long-term chew-resistance failure reports, but they also don’t guarantee indestructibility.
• Indoor use only: The listing states the crate is for indoor use. If you were planning to use it outdoors, the listing doesn’t specify outdoor suitability or weather resistance, so don’t assume it’s built for exposure.
• Weight-bearing desktop: The listing specifies the desktop can bear 150 lb and the bottom 200 lb. If you plan to use the top as a TV stand or storage surface, keep those numbers in mind and distribute weight evenly.

Who this is for / who should skip

I frame this in real-world use cases so you can match it to your dog and home.

Good fit

• Owners who want a furniture-style crate that blends with living-room decor and provides storage under the top surface.
• People with medium to large dogs — the listing calls the inner room ideal for large dogs up to 90 lbs, and the inner dimensions provide generous length.
• Multi-dog households looking for a convertable two-room option (removable middle fence) or a single large pen when the divider is removed.
• Buyers who want built-in elevated feeders: the cradle-style housings and stainless-steel bowls are included and rotate out for access.

Who should skip or be cautious

• If your dog is a confirmed escape artist or a very clever manipulator of latches, be cautious — research notes show at least one example of an escape via pawing at a latch that didn’t hold well.
• If you need outdoor-rated furniture, the listing explicitly lists the crate for indoor use only.
• If you want a completely ready-to-go crate floor (non-slip), be prepared to add bedding or a mat because the base can feel slick for dogs entering and exiting.
• If you’re uncomfortable with intermediate assembly complexity, note that while the listing says parts are pre-assembled and labeled, the research notes include mixed assembly experiences and at least one small hardware issue during setup.

Verdict

My take: PAPIHO’s 86.6" Double Dog Crate Furniture does well at what it promises visually and dimensionally. It’s roomy for large dogs (listing says ideal up to 90 lbs), the built-in storage and stainless-steel bowls are thoughtful touches, and the materials listed — upgraded metal frame, iron bars, and thickened P2 particle board — support the claim that this is a furniture-style crate intended to be both sturdy and attractive.

The most important real-world caveats come from the research notes: latch performance can be unreliable for determined animals, the base can feel slippery, and a few fit-and-finish/assembly hiccups are possible. Those aren’t dealbreakers for many households, but they change how I’d plan the setup. If you want the crate to be genuinely secure for an escape-prone dog, add a secondary latch or a crate-safe clip and test it thoroughly before unsupervised use.

Check before you buy

• Measure your dog and compare to the inner room size: 84 x 25.4 x 27.7 inches (listing) and note the listing’s ideal weight guidance of up to 90 lbs.
• Confirm the product color listed: 86.6" BROWN.
• Plan for a non-slip mat or blanket for the crate floor — research notes indicate it can be slippery for dogs getting in and out.
• Test the door latches immediately after assembly and add a secondary latch or crate-safe lock if your dog is likely to paw at the door; research notes include at least one escape via the latch.
• Note the included components: bowls, removable divider, and six fabric drawers. Confirm those are present when you unbox.
• If you intend to use the top as a TV stand or storage surface, keep the listing’s weight limits in mind: desktop 150 lb, bottom 200 lb.

Overall I’d call this a smart-looking, spacious furniture crate with solid core materials for many homes, especially those with medium and large breeds — but don’t skip the latch test and some interior bedding for traction before letting your dog use it unattended.
