QueZeiah 71in Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro — why I spent time with the 71" QueZeiah double dog crate

I'm a pet parent who loves gear that pulls double duty: functional for my dogs, tasteful for my living room. The QueZeiah 71" Double Dog Crate Furniture promises a lot on paper — a roomy two-dog kennel that looks like furniture, three storage drawers, a built-in charging station, rotating feeders with stainless bowls, and a removable divider so you can run it as two crates or one large kennel.

Over weeks of hands-on time assembling and living with this piece (and collecting long-term ownership notes from other folks who bought the same model), I've formed a pretty clear view of where this walnut finish crate shines and where it falls short. In this review I’ll break down the first look, daily use, materials and build, safety, who should buy it — and who should skip it — plus a practical checklist to run through before you click buy.

What it is — first look and key facts

At heart, this is a furniture-style dog crate: a 71" wide indoor dog kennel with a wood-and-steel structure designed to function as a TV stand or side table on top. The listing identifies the materials as engineered wood (MDF) plus metal components and calls out features like three fluted drawers on smooth steel slides, a 360° rotating feeder with food-grade stainless steel bowls, a built-in protected power strip (Type-C, USB ports, and two AC outlets), and a removable middle divider to switch between double-crate and one large kennel layouts.

Key specs and what they mean:

• Dimensions: 71 x 23.6 x 34.7 inches — a long, low furniture profile that’s meant to sit against a wall and double as a media surface.
• Item weight: 134.7 pounds — this is a heavy furniture item, so plan delivery and placement carefully.
• Materials: engineered wood (MDF) and metal components — means a furniture look but not solid hardwood construction.
• Included components: dog cage and installation kit; the manufacturer provides instructions and an installation video for assembly help.
• Feeding: 4 food-grade stainless steel bowls (dishwasher-safe) inside a 360° rotating feeder with anti-spill rims.
• Electrical: protected, enclosed power strip with Type-C, USB ports, and two AC outlets; the enclosure is described as bite-resistant.
• Other features: removable middle divider, smooth-glide drawer slides, bottom groove to secure the sliding door, fixed-latch design, and the listing highlights "durable, easy to use, waterproof" as additional features.

In daily use — hands-on testing and how it lives with dogs

Putting this crate into a working household is where its design intentions become real. I assembled a unit and ran it through the usual test: naps, crated downtime, feeding, and the inevitable kid-and-dog traffic that happens in a family living room.

Assembly and setup

• Time: Expect a commitment — many people (and my own build) land in the 3–4 hour range to assemble single-handed or with one helper. The listing includes an installation kit and instructions plus an installation video.
• Hardware & approach: There are a lot of screws, wood dowels, and locking bolts. Using an electric screwdriver or a ratchet-style driver speeds things up and saves fatigue. The illustrations require attention to orientation; some assembly steps must be done flipped and pictures don't always call that out explicitly.
• Placement: at 134.7 pounds this piece is heavy once assembled. Move it close to its final wall before finishing assembly or have help on hand.

Daily routines: feeding, cleaning, storage

• Feeding: the built-in 360° rotating feeder is a smart convenience — set bowls from the outside, spin them so dogs can eat from inside, and the anti-spill rims plus stainless steel, dishwasher-safe bowls make cleanup straightforward.
• Storage: three fluted drawers with smooth steel slides hold leashes, grooming items, or remotes. They don’t use the full depth behind the cabinet (some owners pointed out wasted space behind the drawers), but they provide tidy, accessible storage for everyday pet items.
• Top surface: the wide flat top works for a TV stand or plant/decoration surface; note the top is shipped in two pieces on this model which leaves a seam across the middle.

How dogs use it

• Space: with the removable divider installed you have two separate den areas; removing it yields one wide kennel. The listing recommends the crate for small, medium, and large breeds. In practice it’s roomy for many breeds but does not equal the open space of a full-size wire crate — for very tall or very large dogs that need to turn and stretch frequently, check the exact interior height and width against your dog’s measurements (the listing gives overall dimensions but not an interior dog-length limit).
• Calm dogs vs. busy dogs: This furniture crate excels for calm, house-trained dogs that nap quietly and like a den. For dogs that chew, paw at doors, or actively test boundaries, there are real limitations (see Safety and Durability).

Materials & build quality — engineered wood meets metal

QueZeiah lists the structure as engineered wood (MDF) with metal components. That combo is common for furniture-style crates: it gives a refined look while keeping the price and weight reasonable compared to solid wood.

• Surface & finish: walnut finish provides a warm living-room look that blends with other furniture. Be aware that the top is made in two halves on this model, so there’s a visible seam across the middle.
• Drawers & slides: three fluted drawers run on smooth steel slides and open fully — they function well for everyday storage even if their internal depth is shallower than some buyers expected.
• Feeders and bowls: the rotating feeder uses four food-grade stainless steel bowls that the listing specifies are dishwasher-safe and have anti-spill rims.
• Hardware: doors, latch, and internal metal poles are metal components but some of the smaller latch hardware and internal supports rely on the laminated particleboard structure (engineered wood). That means the small metal screws and the MDF they anchor into are points to watch if a dog pushes hard against them.

Build quality takeaways

• Solid look and finish for a furniture-style piece — the walnut finish reads upscale in a living room.
• Because it’s MDF/laminated particleboard rather than solid wood, the structure performs well for typical household use but is not an indestructible crate for dogs that gnaw or apply concentrated force to small anchor points.
• Good features like steel drawer slides and the rotating stainless bowls show attention to practical durability in areas that matter day-to-day.

Safety considerations — what to watch closely

Safety is where I pause and get specific. The listing includes several safety-minded features: a bottom groove to help hold the sliding door in place, a fixed latch design meant to prevent dogs from swallowing parts, and an enclosed power strip that the listing calls bite-resistant. Those are good signs.

• Escape risk: The built-in latch uses small screws and some dogs have managed to push at it enough to pop screws or dislodge the latch. If you have a determined escape artist or a strong dog that paw-works the latch, this is a potential issue. The bottom groove helps reduce accidental sliding but doesn’t make the door indestructible.
• Chewing risk: The crate body is engineered wood and laminated particleboard; dogs that chew or gnaw can damage panels, bars, or corners. If your dog has a history of chewing in crates, this product is likely not the best fit unless you plan to retrofit metal corner protectors or closely supervise.
• Electrical safety: The listing specifies a protected power strip with multiple ports enclosed in a bite-resistant housing — a thoughtful inclusion that reduces the risk of dogs chewing power cords left in the open.
• Choking & small parts: the listing stresses a fixed latch design and secure bowls; still, keep an eye on screws or small hardware during assembly and after heavy use. If any part becomes loose, remove the dog from the crate and repair immediately.

Room-by-room and breed notes

• Apartment/indoor use: made for indoor use only per the listing — it’s furniture-style and not intended for outdoor exposure.
• Best for: calm small, medium, and many large dogs that don’t chew or aggressively test crate hardware.
• Not for: power chewers or very determined, heavy, or large dogs that will push, pry, or try to reach the latch through the bars.

Durability & longevity — how it holds up over months

Long-term performance depends heavily on the dog and how the crate is used. Across extended ownership notes and my own time with the unit, the longevity narrative is split.

• Holds up well for chill dogs: many households that used the crate for calm dogs, lighter breeds, or dogs already comfortable in crates reported years of good service — drawers and the built-in feeders functioned reliably, and the MDF body kept a clean furniture look.
• Fails fast with heavy chewers or determined escapees: there are documented cases where dogs chewed poles, broke through the particleboard, or managed to pop the door latch after a short period. In those scenarios the crate did not hold up.
• Common weak points: the small latch screws and thin particleboard panels near bars are the most reported failure areas. Drawers are fine for light items, but there’s wasted space behind them which some owners found disappointing.

Practical longevity advice

• If you have a puppy that chews, plan to monitor and protect the crate corners or choose a metal, heavy-duty crate designed specifically for power chewers.
• Use the manufacturer’s offer for replacement parts if any panel arrives damaged during shipping — the listing explicitly offers to resend part numbers if a part is lost or damaged.
• Consider adding non-permanent reinforcement on vulnerable screw locations (wood glue in dowels was a suggested tip from some builds) if you don’t plan on taking the unit apart later.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

This is a furniture-first crate. If you want a crate that looks like part of your living room and doubles as a TV stand with drawers and a charging hub, and if your dogs are calm, well-crated, and not chewers, this could be a great fit.

Who should seriously consider this QueZeiah crate

• Pet parents who want a living-room-friendly crate that doubles as a TV stand or side table.
• Homes with two small-to-medium dogs (or a pair of calmer large dogs) that are crate-trained and not destructive.
• People who value built-in features like the rotating feeder with stainless bowls and the enclosed charging station.
• Anyone who likes clean storage for pet gear — the three drawers do a good job at everyday organization.

Who should skip this and why

• Power chewers and escape artists — documented chewing and latch failures make this a risky choice for those dogs.
• Owners of very large or tall breeds that need extensive room to turn and stretch; while the listing recommends large breeds, interior space is more limited than many open metal crates.
• People who need a waterproof, outdoor crate — this is listed for indoor use only.

Verdict — balanced recommendation

So, should you buy the QueZeiah 71" Double Dog Crate Furniture? In short: if you want a stylish, furniture-style double crate that pulls double duty as a TV stand and storage piece — and your dogs are calm, not chew-prone, and crate-trained — this piece delivers a lot of value. It blends thoughtful conveniences (rotating feeders, stainless bowls, enclosed charging, drawers) with a living-room aesthetic that wire crates just don’t provide.

However, if your dog is a proven chewer, a clever escape artist, or a large, powerful breed that pushes and paw-tests crate latches, this isn’t the safest long-term choice without reinforcement. The MDF/particleboard construction and some small fasteners are points of vulnerability under concentrated force.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Measure your space: 71 x 23.6 x 34.7 inches overall. Confirm it fits where you plan to place it.
• Weigh your dog(s): the listing recommends small to large breeds but does not list a specific weight limit — compare your dogs’ dimensions to the available interior space.
• Decide crate layout: will you use the removable middle divider or remove it for one large kennel?
• Plan assembly: have an electric screwdriver or ratchet driver and at least one helper for safer and faster assembly — count on 3–4 hours.
• Consider reinforcement if you have a chewer: metal corner protectors or door-latch upgrades may be necessary.
• Check included parts on arrival: if anything is missing or damaged, the listing states the manufacturer will resend the appropriate part if you provide photos and part numbers.

Practical pros & cons (quick reference)

• Pros: stylish walnut finish, doubles as TV stand, built-in rotating feeder with 4 dishwasher-safe stainless bowls, enclosed charging station, three functional drawers, removable divider for versatility.
• Cons: MDF/particleboard construction can be damaged by chewers, latch and small-screw anchor points are potential failure areas for strong dogs, drawers don’t use full depth behind the cabinet, assembly is time-consuming and instructions are picture-heavy.

Colors & finishes

The listing’s default color is Walnut. Image files associated with the product show the piece in a walnut-style finish; other finishes are not specified in the product description.

Final thoughts

I like the idea of pet furniture that doesn’t scream “crate” and the QueZeiah 71" double crate gets that part right. It’s a functional, handsome piece with clever touches (rotating feeders, stainless bowls, enclosed charging strip) that will make life easier for many pet parents. If your dogs are mellow and you want a crate that blends with your home décor, this is one of the more compelling furniture-style options at its price point.

But don’t buy this as a replacement for a heavy-duty metal crate designed for destructive dogs. The MDF construction and some small fasteners are the model’s Achilles’ heel; if your dog has a history of chewing or testing enclosures, plan on reinforcements or choose a different build type entirely. Read the assembly instructions, prepare the right tools, and check parts on arrival — the manufacturer’s replacement-part policy is a safety net if shipping damage occurs.

Check before you buy — short recap

• Measure space and dog dimensions.
• Plan for a 3–4 hour assembly and have a power screwdriver handy.
• Use it for calm, crate-trained small-to-large dogs — avoid if you have a chewer or escape artist.
• Take advantage of the manufacturer’s part-replacement process if anything arrives damaged.
