Setup and Assembly

The HOSTACK Double Dog Crates Furniture requires assembly. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the packaging. All necessary tools are included. It is recommended to assemble with assistance due to the size and number of components.

Pre-Assembly Considerations

• Measure Your Dog: Before assembly, ensure the internal dimensions of the crate (70"L x 20"W x 25"H) are suitable for your dog(s). Measure your dog's length from nose to tail while standing and height from ears/head to paws while sitting. Reserve at least 4 inches more than the measured length and height for adequate activity space.
• Unpack and Verify: Carefully unpack all components and compare them against the parts list in your instruction manual to ensure no parts are missing.

Operating Instructions

Using the Dog Crate Compartments

• Single Compartment Use: For a single large dog or to provide maximum space for one dog, the metal divider can be removed.
• Double Compartment Use: To house two dogs separately, install the metal divider as per the assembly instructions. This creates two distinct spaces within the kennel.
• Door Operation: Each compartment features a door with a secure locking mechanism. Ensure doors are properly latched when your pets are inside.

Utilizing the Storage Drawers

The three integrated drawers provide convenient storage for various pet supplies and household items. These drawers are located above the dog crate compartments.

• Store dog treats, toys, grooming supplies, leashes, or other personal items.
• Ensure drawers are closed securely to prevent pets from accessing contents.

• TV Stand: The sturdy tabletop can support a television, making it a functional entertainment center.
• Entryway Table: Place it in your entryway for a stylish and practical surface to hold keys, mail, or decorative items.
• Display Stand: Utilize the tabletop to display photos, plants, or other home decor.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOSTACK Double Dog Crates Furniture.

Cleaning Instructions

• Wood Surfaces: Wipe engineered wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Metal Bars: Clean metal tubes with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent rust.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood.

General Care

• Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent warping or fading.
