Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the HOOBRO BC84GW03 dog crate furniture is designed to be straightforward. Follow the numbered steps in the included instruction manual. It is recommended to have a clear, spacious area for assembly.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out. Refer to the parts list in your separate assembly manual to identify each piece.
- Assemble Base Structure: Begin by attaching the side panels to the bottom panel using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten until the entire frame is assembled.
- Install Divider (Optional): If you intend to use the crate for two dogs, install the removable divider as indicated in the assembly manual. This creates two separate compartments. If using for one large dog, you can omit this step.
- Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel to the assembled frame.
- Install Doors: Attach the metal grate doors to the designated openings using the hinges and screws. Ensure doors swing freely and latches align properly.
- Final Tightening: Once all major components are in place, go back and securely tighten all screws and fasteners.
- Attach Accessories: Install the metal pegboard, name tags, and S-hooks as desired for personalization and organization.

Operating Instructions
- Opening/Closing Doors: Use the reliable latches on each door to securely open and close the compartments. Ensure the latches are fully engaged when the doors are closed to prevent accidental escapes.
- Using the Removable Divider: The divider can be installed or removed based on your needs. For one large dog, remove the divider to create a spacious single enclosure. For two medium dogs, install the divider to create two separate, secure spaces.
- Personalizing the Pegboard: The metal pegboard allows for customization. Use chalk to write your dog's name on the provided tags, display photos, or hang leashes and collars using the S-hooks.
- Placement: Position the crate in a location that is comfortable for your pet and convenient for your home. Its design allows it to function as a TV stand or console table.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For metal grates, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or harm your pet.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and latches to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose hardware as needed.
- Damage Prevention: To prolong the life of the crate, prevent pets from chewing on the wooden parts. Consider placing a chew-resistant mat or bed inside.
Troubleshooting
- Assembly Difficulties: If you encounter issues during assembly, double-check the numbered steps in the provided manual. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented. If holes do not align perfectly, slightly loosen surrounding screws, adjust the panel, and then retighten.
- Doors Not Closing Properly: Check hinges for proper installation and alignment. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the door from closing fully. Adjust latches if necessary.
- Rattling Doors: If doors rattle when open and hooked, consider adding small felt pads or rubber bumpers to the contact points to reduce noise.
- Stability Issues: Ensure the crate is placed on a level surface. Verify all fasteners are tightened.
- Pet Chewing: If your pet is chewing on the crate, ensure they have adequate chew toys. Consider applying a pet-safe bitter spray to deter chewing on furniture.
