1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Verify all hardware and panels are present according to the packing list (refer to the product's original packaging for the complete list).
2. Assemble Frame: Begin by connecting the side panels to the base and top panels. Ensure all connections are firm and aligned.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your dog crate furniture, refer to the following common solutions:

• Crate is Wobbly:

  Check if all assembly screws are tightened. Adjust the height of the adjustable feet on the bottom of the unit to compensate for uneven flooring until the crate is stable.

• Doors Do Not Close Properly:

  Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Check if the magnetic latch is unobstructed and properly engaging with the strike plate.

• Pet Does Not Enter Crate:

  Ensure the crate is placed in a comfortable and quiet area. Introduce your pet to the crate gradually with positive reinforcement, such as treats or toys. Never force your pet into the crate.
