It is from a place called Crate Haven. They were the company featured on HGTV and as a result, the waiting time for the crates is over 3 months!

That is so beautiful! Brody and Mia look so cute. I just researched and found the Hunter collection has a bench that opens to three crates. Of course, it's currently unavailable.

Beautiful wood, too.

Hmmmm....now picture a steak dinner sitting on top of it with two Cairns inside.

What wonderful crates!

Ohhhh, just love 'em!!

I watched the video and thought I saw a Cairn in the triple door, white crate.

Regarding certain crates being unavailable, I think they were completely overwhelmed by the HGTV segment. Regarding Cairns in their advertising, I think she (meaning the lady DH spoke to) said she had a Cairn, so it is very possible. She asked for photos of Brody and Mia in their crate, so you may see them on the site!

I was watching DIY network today and they have an upcoming episode where they teach you how to build a furniture style crate. I can't wait to see it. I might just have a weekend project for the hubby soon.

Thanks for the link. With four dogs this would be an expensive proposition. My brother does wood working as a hobby. I think I'm going to have to put a bug in his ear.

My husband does wooodworking as a hobby and he did not think it would be worth it to build it as he would have to buy all the wood, however, if you had the wood left over from another project it would be more feasible.

The crate actually came with 4 wooden sides, so we can close it all up, of course we can't keep our dogs in there like that, so in reality we'll probably never use those panels (we are using one to hide cords that drop behind the crate).

Given that, to build one, you'd really only need the stiles (which are solid wood), the top (which is furniture grade plywood), the bottom (also furniture grade plywood), one side and maybe a back (looks like nice luan) and the feet.

As a non-woodworker, I think it would be fairly easy! And if you were going to paint it you could use MDF. I think I watch too many home improvement shows!

Very stunning!
