Dog Crates
Dog Crate Furniture – A Safe Space That Looks Beautiful Too
A dog crate doesn't have to be an eyesore. With dog crate furniture, you can give your furry friend a cosy den of their own while adding style to your home. These clever pieces double as end tables, side tables, or even TV stands – so your pet's safe space blends seamlessly into your living room, bedroom, or home office. At Aosom UK, we carry over 90 dog crates from PawHut, ranging from compact end tables for small breeds to spacious XL kennels for large dogs. You'll find wooden crates with sliding doors, metal cages with wheels, double crates for multi-dog households, and 2-in-1 designs with built-in cushions. Finishes include walnut brown, grey, white, black, and natural wood – so you can match your existing decor. Give your dog a place to call their own, without compromising on style.
Furniture That Works as Hard as You Do
Dog crate furniture is designed to earn its place in your home. Here's what makes it different from a standard wire crate:
- Multi-purpose design: These crates aren't just cages – they're functional furniture. Use the top as a side table for your lamp, books, or morning coffee. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture Large Indoor Kennel Table is a great example – it's a secure kennel and a handy side table in one.
- Sliding doors for easy access: Unlike traditional crates with swing doors, many furniture-style crates feature smooth sliding doors that save space and look more polished. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture with Sliding Door in walnut brown is a favourite for XL breeds.
- Built to last: Constructed from sturdy particle board, MDF, or solid wood, these crates are built for daily use. Many come with lockable doors and anti-slip feet for extra stability.
- Soft, washable cushions: Comfort is key. Most PawHut crates include a plush cushion that's removable and machine-washable – so your dog stays comfy and you stay clean.
Finding the Right Size for Your Dog
Getting the size right is the most important step. Here's a quick guide:
- Small breeds (up to 10kg): Look for crates around 60-80cm in length. The PawHut Dog Crate End Table with Three Doors is a stylish option for smaller dogs, with locks and latches for extra security.
- Medium breeds (10-25kg): Look for crates around 80-100cm in length. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture for Medium Dogs offers a sliding door and a walnut brown finish – perfect for a living room corner.
- Large breeds (25-40kg): Look for crates around 100-120cm in length. The PawHut Dog Crate Furniture Extra Large with Cushion is a top-rated choice for larger dogs.
- Extra-large breeds (40kg+): Look for crates over 118cm. The PawHut XL Dog Crate Furniture in Brown gives big dogs plenty of room to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably.
Features That Make Daily Life Easier
A well-designed dog crate furniture piece does more than just contain your pet. Look for these practical features:
- Removable, washable cushions: Most PawHut crates come with a soft cushion that zips off for easy cleaning – essential for muddy paws and unexpected accidents.
- Lockable doors: Keep your dog secure with reliable latches. Many models feature double-locking mechanisms for extra peace of mind.
- Wheels for mobility: Some crates, like the PawHut Dog Crate End Table with Wheels, come with lockable casters – so you can move them easily for cleaning or rearranging.
- 2-in-1 designs: The PawHut 2-in-1 Dog Cage & Side Table is a clever space-saver – it's a secure crate and a stylish side table, all in one.
- Multiple entry points: Front and side doors make it easy to get your dog in and out, no matter where the crate is positioned.
Setting Up & Caring for Your Dog Crate Furniture
A few simple steps will keep your dog crate furniture looking and functioning like new:
- Assembly: Most PawHut crates come flat-packed with clear instructions and all necessary tools. Set aside 1-2 hours. Two people make assembly easier – especially for larger models.
- Placement: Choose a quiet corner away from direct sunlight, drafts, and high-traffic areas. Your dog should feel safe, not exposed.
- Introduce gradually: Leave the door open at first. Place treats, toys, and a familiar blanket inside so your dog explores at their own pace. Never force them in.
- Cleaning: Wipe wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth – never soak. Machine-wash the cushion cover on a gentle cycle. For metal crates, wipe down with a pet-safe cleaner.
- Crate training tips: Use positive reinforcement. Never use the crate as punishment. Keep crate time short at first, gradually increasing as your dog gets comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Crate Furniture
❓ Can I use dog crate furniture for crate training?
Absolutely. Dog crate furniture is perfect for crate training – it gives your dog a secure, comfortable space that feels like a den, not a cage. The wooden construction and soft cushion create a cosy environment that helps anxious dogs settle. Just follow standard crate training principles: keep sessions short, use positive reinforcement, and never use the crate as punishment. The PawHut 2-in-1 Dog Crate Side Table with Cushion is a popular choice for training – it's inviting and secure.
❓ Is wooden dog crate furniture suitable for chewers?
Wooden crates are durable but not chew-proof. If you have a determined chewer, look for models with reinforced corners or consider a metal crate instead. For moderate chewers, provide plenty of chew toys to redirect their attention – and choose a crate with a smooth, sealed finish that's harder to damage. The PawHut End Table with Three Doors has sturdy locks and a robust design that stands up to everyday wear.
❓ How do I clean the cushion in my dog crate furniture?
Most PawHut crates come with a removable cushion cover that's machine-washable. Simply unzip the cover, wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air dry. The foam insert can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the wooden frame, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth – avoid excess moisture to prevent warping. The PawHut Extra Large Crate with Cushion has a removable cover that makes cleaning a breeze.
