 Okay at best Jul 23, 2008

My great dane managed to crack this pan in less than a month. I wish they made it about twice as thick.

 Solution for Crappy Tray Aug 10, 2011
By Great Dane
As a breeder of Great Danes, I have 7 of these. You would think that if you're creating and selling a product geared towards dogs 120+ lbs, you'd make and sell a product designed to stand up to the weight. You'd think wrong. The tray in this kennel is so thin, cheap, and flimsy if it's not already cracked and broken upon arrival, it will be soon after.
I have very mellow crate-trained danes. They are not "hard" on their crates by any means, but ranging from 115-160lbs, they're heavy. The tray in these things cracks along each of the wires on the undergrid. After going through MANY of these suckers, replacing the tray for $50 a pop, I found a solution.
Placing a mat or rug or blanket.. anything with some cushion, between the grid and the tray solves this problem, entirely. If your tray is already cracked and destroyed by the weight or your giant breed dog, duct tape the underside of the tray, and the top, and then put a rug under it. I just buy fleece at the fabric department on clearance, and double layer it on all of mine- it's a pretty cheap solution.
The rest of the crate is sturdy and hold up very well. I wish the tray could just be fantastic as-is. But it's not, and there's no better one out there, so that's what we've done to make do with that we have.

Seems to be overprice, but no better alternative Aug 09, 2011
By Roger Spreen III
We needed the Midwest 1154U for our St. Bernard to grow into. The pan does its job, but $40 for a big sheet of formed plastic seems to much.
I bought two yoga mats that I joined together at the seam with duct tape. I then used the pan as a "cookie cutter" and used a utility knife to cut out a custom pad.YogaAccessories 1/4" Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat

 perfect for the crate Dec 14, 2010
By Amanda Paris
My only real issue with this product was that it had a huge crack in it from being handled badly. The box was falling apart when it got here. I was in desperate need of this pan to fit inside our dogs crate so duct tape to the rescue. Once I taped the pan up and placed it along the bottom of the crate...we were good to go. My dog loves it and has only tried to pull the duct tape off once.
 shipping issue resolved quickly and professionally! Apr 17, 2012
By Good Brother Cadfael
We bought our big ol' crate over a decade ago for our first mastiff and it has housed a succession of rescue dogs. The plastic pan it came with held up for years but it was time for a new one.
I was worried about ordering the pan because:
1. reviewers said it sometimes arrived damaged in transit
2. it was flimsy
Here's my experience:
1. we received our pan by mail and it was damaged in one corner. The next day, we heard from the seller, who apologized and said a new one would be sent right away. It was, and it was perfect! And we were able to keep the other pan, too. No hassle.
2. we do rescue and have had a variety of dogs temporarily housed in the crate. The only one who did damage to the pan was our diggin' bloodhound girl. But I read a super tip from one of the reviewers which we implemented: put a doubled-up blanket between the pan and the metal floor of the crate to help preserve the plastic pan.
So we were happy with the way things turned out!
