DWVO 63in Double Dog Crate Furniture Review — The Pet Dude Tests It

Intro — why I looked at the DWVO double dog crate

I’m The Pet Dude: a pet parent and gear nerd who prefers dog gear that earns its place in the living room. The DWVO 63-inch double dog crate furniture promises to replace the eyesore of a metal crate with a TV stand-style piece that hides two kennels, includes storage drawers and a charging station, and claims to fit all breeds. I put this one through the mental checklist I use for furniture-style crates: does it actually contain dogs, blend with home decor, survive everyday wear, and live up to the assembly and safety claims? The short version is in the TL;DR; below, and the rest of this long-form review walks through what it is, how it performs in daily life, and whether it’s a good fit for your dog and living room.

What it is — first look

The DWVO 63 Inch Double Dog Crate Furniture is a furniture-style indoor dog kennel that doubles as a media console/TV stand. It’s an engineered-wood unit listed at 62.6" long by 23.2" deep and 35.4" high, and it weighs 95 pounds out of the box. The design is a double-chamber crate with a removable divider, two sliding barn-style doors, two storage drawers, and a built-in vertical charging station that includes 3 AC outlets and 2 USB ports. The listing specifies it’s intended for indoor use and lists the material type as engineered wood. The product ships with the power outlet component included and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty.

Available colors on the listing are: Walnut, White, Black, Grey, and Light Beige. The unit is marketed as suitable for “All Breed Sizes,” and the large footprint plus removable divider is intended to let owners configure one big compartment or two smaller ones.

In daily use — hands-on testing and real-life fit

I evaluate furniture-style crates on three everyday tasks: containment, convenience (charging/TV stand use), and household wear-and-tear (smudges, drawers, dust). Below I break those down into practical notes you can use when deciding if this piece is right for your home.

Containment and fit by dog size

• Small dogs / toy breeds: Small dogs seem to settle into the compartment well and treat it like a den. In examples that map to long-term owner experiences, owners reported that an 11 lb chihuahua adapted quickly and behaved like it had a “mini apartment” inside. Small dogs who are calm in crates should be perfectly happy here.
• Medium to large dogs: The unit’s dimensions and the reported experiences indicate it can handle medium and many large dogs. Owners referenced dogs around 40 lbs and “60ish lbs” using the crate comfortably, including a senior dog who could access the lower chamber without trouble. The removable divider makes it possible to give two dogs their own spaces or one dog a single large space.
• Puppies and escape artists: One mixed report calls out a sizeable open space at the top of the crate that allowed a small puppy to climb or squeeze out. The listing does not specify the exact size of that opening, so if your puppy is a determined climber or particularly small, this is worth watching closely. The sliding barn doors are promoted as eliminating obstructions during entry and exit, which helps for everyday access, but the listing doesn't address top openings explicitly.

Using it as a TV stand / media console

The DWVO doubles as a media console with two drawers and a shelf area. The built-in vertical charging station with 3 AC outlets and 2 USB ports is a practical touch: owners described plugging it into the wall and using it to power lamps, charge phones, or run small media devices. Because the outlet module sits on the bottom of the shelf area, it can be used while the piece functions as an end table or TV stand.

Daily convenience and storage

• The two drawers add useful closed storage for leashes, toys, and media accessories. Owners’ impressions of drawer action are mixed—some reported the drawers slide nicely while others found the rollers didn’t run smoothly. Expect some variance and a possible need to tweak the runners or lubricate them.
• Owners repeatedly mentioned sticker residue on panels after unboxing; prepare your cleaning supplies for adhesive residue. One owner recommended a product like Goo Gone to remove stubborn stickers.
• Because the unit is heavy—95 pounds—plan the placement early. Moving it after assembly is not convenient unless you have help.

Materials & build quality

The listing states the DWVO crate is made from engineered wood. That aligns with the furniture-style finish and the fairly hefty weight the unit carries. The product page and owner notes paint a picture of generally solid construction with a furniture appearance rather than raw, exposed steel.

What I liked about build and finish

• Overall, owners described the piece as well built and attractive in the living room—phrases like “looks great” and “appears to be quality material” show it was designed to blend in with residential furniture.
• Several long-term notes say the crate remains sturdy and presentable after months of use; one owner specifically said it “looks GREAT even after many months.” That’s a good signal for the finish and the engineered wood’s ability to hide everyday wear.
• Heavy and sturdy. Multiple owners noted the weight and solid feel; one wrote their anxious chewer couldn’t damage it into an unsightly condition. A heavy unit helps with containment and reduces tipping risk.

Assembly and fit quirks

• Expect a long assembly session: owner reports consistently mention 3–5 hours. If you are comfortable with furniture builds you’ll still need patience; DWVO advises two or more people for large items, and that’s sensible given the weight and number of pieces.
• Instructions are generally clear—owners praised the step-by-step directions and warnings about similarly shaped parts. Still, some owners encountered poorly aligned pieces or cam screws they had trouble with, and one person said the cam screws were the worst they’d used.
• One owner used a chisel to make a piece fit. That’s not common, but it shows there can be tolerances in manufacturing that require minor field fixes during assembly.

Safety considerations

Safety is always first with dog furniture. I tracked the listing details and owner experiences to highlight the major safety signals:

• Containment & escape: Most owners found the crate sturdy and secure—including cases with anxious chewers—so for adult dogs that are not escape pros the piece performs well. However, one owner reported a small dog could climb out through a large opening at the top of the crate. The listing does not state the opening size, so if you have a small, nimble puppy, double-check the openings before leaving them unattended overnight.
• Stability & tipping: The unit’s 95-pound weight and engineered-wood construction suggest good stability. That said, ensure the piece is placed on a level floor and anchored if you have very large, exuberant dogs that might jump on top.
• Electrical safety: The crate includes a built-in vertical charging station with 3 AC and 2 USB ports. The listing says the power outlet is included and that it plugs into a wall outlet; owners confirmed the outlet sits on the bottom of the shelf area and is useful for charging devices. As with any furniture that contains electrical parts, plan cable routing so dogs can’t chew cords, and unplug the module if you have a chewer who targets cables. The listing doesn’t include further electrical specs, so if you need load or surge details the manufacturer is the source for that information.
• Drawer and door operation: Sliding barn doors are marketed as eliminating obstructions for entry/exit, which helps reduce pinching hazards; still, owners noted varying drawer smoothness so check all moving parts after assembly and keep fingers clear when pets are around.
• Materials / toxic finishes: The listing specifies engineered wood as the material type but does not state whether any finishes are low-VOC or have specific certifications. If you have pets with severe chemical sensitivities, the listing doesn’t provide those finish details.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

This is where fit matters: furniture-style crates are as much about your living space as they are about your dog.

Who I recommend it for

• Owners who want a living-room-friendly crate that doubles as a TV stand or media console and provides concealed storage.
• Households with two adult dogs that can share a piece of furniture when separated by a removable divider, or a single dog that needs a larger den footprint.
• People who value built-in charging and prefer fewer exposed cables in the room—the included vertical charging station is a practical convenience.
• Owners who want a heavy, sturdy crate to deter chewing and escape—there are multiple reports of the unit holding up for months against determined dogs.

Who should skip or approach with caution

• Owners of very small, escape-prone puppies unless you can confirm the openings are safe for your pup; one owner noted a small dog could crawl out through an uncovered top area. The listing doesn’t specify that opening’s size.
• People who need a super-quick, one-person assembly. Expect the build to take several hours and have a second set of hands for heavy panels.
• If you need perfectly smooth drawer action out of the box—some owners found the drawers don’t run smoothly and may need adjustment.
• Owners who need specific finish or material certifications (low-VOC paint, etc.)—the listing does not provide those details.

Cleaning, maintenance & durability

• Sticker residue is a recurring gripe—expect to remove stickers and adhesive from panels after unboxing. Owners suggested adhesive removers for clean-up.
• Because it’s engineered wood, cleaning is the usual furniture routine—wipe with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. The listing doesn’t offer explicit cleaning instructions beyond standard furniture care.
• Long-term durability looks promising based on owner experiences; multiple notes said the piece held up “after many months” and remained attractive. One owner did raise the possibility of screws loosening over time, so check fasteners periodically and re-tighten if necessary.

Verdict — my take and a practical checklist

Overall, the DWVO 63-inch double dog crate furniture is a solid mid-range option if you want a contained, attractive, and functional piece of furniture that doubles as a double kennel. It balances a living-room aesthetic with practical features—like the removable divider, sliding barn doors, drawers, and a built-in charging station—that many owners value. The unit’s engineered-wood build and 95-pound heft give it a secure feel that has held up for several months in owner experiences, and it seems to contain medium and large adult dogs reliably.

Where it loses points is primarily in assembly friction and small but important fit details. Plan for a multi-hour assembly with two people, be ready to clean sticker residue, and inspect moving parts like drawers and cam screws carefully as you build. If you have a very small or escape-prone puppy, verify the openings before you rely on the crate for unattended containment. The one-year manufacturer warranty is a helpful safety net.

check before you buy

• measure the space where you’ll put the crate; the listing dimensions are 62.6" L x 23.2" W x 35.4" H.
• decide if you need the removable divider for two separate spaces or one large kennel.
• plan for a multi-hour assembly and have a second adult available for lifting heavy panels.
• prepare adhesive remover for sticker residue on panels after unboxing.
• test drawers and doors during assembly and lubricate/adjust runners if they feel stiff.
• check openings carefully if you have a small or escape-prone puppy; the listing doesn’t give exact top-opening dimensions.
• use the built-in charging station responsibly: route cables so pets can’t chew them, and consult DWVO for any additional electrical specs if you need them.
• remember the product includes a one-year manufacturer warranty—hold on to your paperwork.

Final verdict

If you want a furniture-style, dual-chamber crate that looks at home in a living room and includes practical extras like storage and a charging station, the DWVO 63-inch double dog crate furniture is a strong contender. It’s heavy, generally well made, and has a design that many pet parents and dogs adjust to quickly. Expect a patient assembly session and do a careful safety check if you keep tiny escape artists. For most owners looking for a mid-range furniture kennel for two adult dogs or a single larger dog, I think this piece is worth the effort—just pack the adhesive remover and an extra set of hands.
