This helped me tremendously in 2024! THANK YOU! Kim

[@Iscaper]

Great!

[@tinadiffee9539]

After wasting too much time NOT doing this properly I finally watched your video and was set up in a minute!! Thank you!!

[@Iscaper]

You're welcome!

[@murrayfeldstein8221]

Thank you. We had lost our dog 7 years ago and put the crate in storage. We finally got a new 80 pound rescue dog and this helped me set it up again.

[@Iscaper]

Thanks, I'm glad the video helped!

[@Radiant.inkling]

Nobody cares about ur dead dog

[@AnnaAliciaTx]

Great video! We could not follow instructions because they were located locked in the folded cage. Thanks so much!

[@naturesangels6995]

Thanks for the video! The instructions were inside the cage which was no help with not knowing how to open it to even get to them. Your video was all I needed.

[@pennybhanji9797]

This was to replace the same smaller crate with this larger one. I couldn't follow the written instructions on how to assemble it to save my life (my neighbour put the first one together) ... lol ... but I remembered that when I ordered this 30" crate, it also had a video showing how to put it together. And ... VOILA ... it was easy. Thank you so much. Love the crate.

[@AllyCatnap]

I was so confused about the “extra piece” it’s a divider 🤯 thank you for this video

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Ally for watching.

Thanks May!

Thanks man! 🙏🏽 spent over 30 minutes trying to understand the unclear instructions and your video got me set up within a few minutes. Appreciate it! My rescue dog is now sleeping cosy in his crate 🥰

Oh my gosh. Thank you so so much. I could not for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong! Thank you!!

[@rhondamiles9922]

Thank you so much! The instructions that came w this huge crate was not very clear at all! I just broke a rib so my patience left me with the pain level of assembly of the big mystery box. Thank you so much!!!😂

You are a life saver, now I feel like I might actually get this cage set up. 💕

[@blockthewind8544]

I had the exact same problem I tore the whole page in half trying to get it out. 😂

[@moonoggin]

Because of shipping tossing around you need a claw hammer and a med size chisel. I had to pry the catch hooks b4 I could get it to lift from the middle and also pry from the sides to get the ends up. I am 5 feet tall ..I had to tag a person to help or I could not have done it alone

[@parthenawilliams5670]

I was given one as a gift, and it came without a door. I contacted Lari in what I hoped would be an easy process, as my Bloodhound must be contained when no one is home. Instead of a simple-oh, let's get this taken care of, this Lari has engaged in a weeks long email conversation that still has not resulted in the door that should have come with the crate. I don't know where my friend bought it. I am not going to bother my friend as he was kind enough and generous enough to buy a crate for me in the first place. Since it came without a door and the box was in the way, I had to measure the crate and then find the model number online. This is one of the myriad questions that Lari needs answered in order to simply get me a door or at this point, I would purchase the door (which seems like an excellent side hustle, no?) But would I suggest that you buy one of these online and roll the dice on if it's going to all be there? O, Lord no! What I have right now is a lovely wire cave that my dog enjoys sleeping in, but it is in no way a containment system. Congratulations if yours came with a door. Consider yourself quite lucky. I cannot even get the information to purchase a door that should have come with the crate.

[@evalama8457]

Thank uuuu

[@kentonthelucario]

Look easy

[@rickrounds2173]

Thank you. There may also be some smaller clips that have to be 'nudged' in order to expand the crate. Hope this limits some frustration on the assembly.

I’ve often wondered about the printed instructions included with most products. Does the manufacturer ever test before marketing.
They don’t, that’s why there’s a CZcams video for so many products.
Thanks, with your video it took less than 5 minutes.
