EasyCom 78" Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro — why I spent time with this one

I chase pet gear that doesn’t scream “kennel” but still keeps a dog safe and comfortable. The EasyCom furniture-style crate is the type of product that promises to tidy up a living room while giving dogs a secure den. The 78.74" double configuration is the largest size in the line and is marketed for medium-to-large dogs; the listing also presents this piece as a TV cabinet or side table. Over the past weeks I pulled together the product specs and long-term owner experiences to test how this idea holds up when you actually live with it.

What it is — first look and key facts

The EasyCom 78.74" model is a furniture-style indoor dog crate designed to be a double kennel with a removable middle partition. Key listing facts I kept coming back to while evaluating it:

• Item dimensions: 78.74 x 27.56 x 33.46 inches; item weight ~130.8 pounds.
• Material type listed as metal and wood; the product copy calls out thickened wooden boards and 0.5" metal pipes plus a load-bearing metal tube at the bottom.
• Multiple access points: a front door and two side doors are available on the piece; the middle partition can be installed or removed.
• Designed for indoor use and recommended for medium and large dog breeds; the title for this large model references a 35–60 pound range.
• Raised feet are listed at 3.94 inches to allow sweeping robots to clean under the crate.
• Listing highlights: 90% pre-assembled, durable, lockable, and usable as TV cabinet/side table. The unit ships with the stand component included and carries a 2 year warranty.

Available sizes and colors

This EasyCom line comes in several size options; the 78.74" footprint is the biggest. The listing shows other sizes ranging from compact single crates (example: 28.15" L x 20.47" W x 25.98" H) up through the 78.74" model. Available colorways listed are:

• White
• Brown
• Dark Grey
• Oak Grey

In the photos the piece reads like a retro-modern cabinet in all colorways — the top surface is intended to be functional for decor or a TV while the cage sits below.

In daily use / hands-on testing

My interest was how this large, dual crate functions as a daily piece of furniture. Two things matter most to me: fit for the dogs and how it affects household flow.

Fit and living with dogs

• Space: The 78.74" width plus the removable center partition means you can configure this as two single crates or one large open kennel. The listing explicitly says the middle partition can be installed or removed to meet your needs.
• Breed/weight fit: the model is targeted at medium and large dogs; the listing title for this large size references a 35–60 pound range. That makes it a good choice if you have two medium dogs or one larger dog that fits in that weight band and needs room to stand and turn.
• Doors and access: front plus two side doors give flexible entry points — helpful when you want a dog to enter without passing another crate area.

Assembly & setup

The product page markets the crate as 90% pre-assembled and says most parts are already pre-installed, with a focus on four large frames to finish. In actual hands-on builds the pre-assembled claim is a soft one: the bars are welded in place, but you will still be assembling the main panels, joining the top and bottom, and fitting the divider if you plan to use it.

• Expect to spend time assembling: practical builds commonly took between roughly one to two hours; two people are recommended for alignment and lifting heavy panels.
• Tools: a cordless drill makes the process easier despite the "pre-assembled" marketing. Some people did assemble solo, but manufacturer directions suggest two people.
• Instructions: the pictorial instructions are serviceable but not exhaustive. If you value clear, printed step-by-step directions, plan extra time to interpret the diagrams and sort numbered pieces.

Daily maintenance and cleaning

• Cleaning profile: the 3.94" raised feet let a sweeping robot pass beneath the unit, which is a concrete convenience listed by the brand. The raised bottom also helps air circulate under the crate and keeps the crate base away from floor moisture and dust.
• Top surface: the top is flat and intended for decor or a TV; in daily use owners use it for storage or display items and report it sits steady enough for light objects.
• Access for cleaning: removable divider and multiple doors make it reasonably straightforward to place and remove bedding for washing.

Materials & build quality

The product spec lists the piece as a combination of metal and wood. The listing copy emphasizes upgrades: thicker wooden boards, 0.5" thickened metal pipes, and a load-bearing metal tube under the base to improve strength and chew resistance.

• Frame & bars: metal pipes are described as thicker than prior generations to boost bite resistance and load-bearing capacity. That said, the brand does not publish metal grade or paint/coating chemistry in the listing.
• Wood surfaces: the cabinet panels are wood-based and presented as thicker/upgraded. The listing does not state whether panels are solid wood versus engineered wood or the surface finish specifics.
• Top finish & styling: the crate is meant to look like furniture — the visual finish in photos and owner experiences reads as a retro/modern cabinet top with a solid flat surface to place decor or electronics.

Safety considerations

Safety is the loudest topic when you mix dogs and furniture-style crates. The listing highlights a lockable design and durable materials, but there are important real-world cautions I want to underline.

• Lock & latch reliability: the listing lists the product as lockable. In hands-on experience the latches are serviceable for usual home use but several builds note the locks feel a bit finicky or delicate — fine for calm, non-destructive dogs but a potential weak point for determined chewers or heavy pushers.
• Not for heavy destructive kenneling: while the brand calls the crate chew-resistant, practical experience indicates this is not a solution for aggressive chewers or escape artists. The crate is sturdy but the latches may be the limiting factor.
• Stability & top-loading: the unit weighs around 130.8 pounds which helps stability once placed. Still, ensure the top is used for light decor or electronics placed away from the edge; the listing suggests the top is functional as a TV cabinet/side table but does not list a load limit.
• Floor & feet: the adjustable/screw-in feet can help level the crate on uneven floors and improve stability; check the feet after installation so the crate doesn’t wobble on an uneven surface.
• Cleaning safety: raised base keeps the crate bottom off the floor to reduce moisture risk, which the listing notes helps prevent health hazards tied to dust and moisture.
• Warranty: a 2 year warranty is part of the listing, which gives you a formal recourse path if anything ships defective or fails under normal use.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Great fit if you:

• Want a furniture-style crate that blends with living-room decor and doubles as a TV stand or side table.
• Have medium to large dogs and need flexible space (two-medium-dog households or one dog in the 35–60 lb range per the large model's title).
• Value a crate with multiple doors and a removable center divider to create single or double spaces.
• Use a robot vacuum or want to mop under the crate — the 3.94" clearance was specifically designed to let sweeping robots pass underneath.
• Prefer a product with a two-year warranty and visible build reassurances like thicker metal piping and reinforced bottom tubing.

Skip this if you:

• Need a heavy-duty kennel for a power chewer or an escape artist — the latches have been called into question in real-world use and the listing warns the product isn’t for destructive uses.
• Expect a fully assembled piece out of the box — the 90% pre-assembled claim is aspirational; plan for a hands-on build that may take an hour or more and benefits from two people.
• Require detailed material certifications (paint chemistry, wood species, metal grade) — the listing does not specify those technical details.

Durability & longevity — will it outlast the first year?

On longevity the signals are mostly positive. The listing stresses thickened metal pipes and wood; long-term use comments show the crate holding up well over months with several owners explicitly saying nothing has broken and the unit still looks great after extended time.

• Positive longevity notes: many owners report the crate remains sturdy and intact over months; the furniture finish still looks good and panels have not delaminated in typical household settings.
• Potential weaknesses: the door latches are the most frequently cited weakness — they work well for calm dogs but are a point to inspect if your dog is very active around doors.
• Practical takeaway: for household use with dogs that are not destructive, expect good longevity; for heavy-duty kennel needs, plan for latch reinforcement or a different heavy-duty steel crate.

Verdict — my take as The Pet Dude

The EasyCom 78.74" furniture-style double crate does exactly what it promises where it matters: it converts a bulky kennel into a living-room-friendly cabinet with sensible dog access and real functional touches like raised feet for robot vacuums and a removable divider for flexible layout. The build leans toward a mid-to-higher quality furniture piece — wood panels combined with thicker metal tubing and a reinforced bottom make it feel substantial once assembled.

That said, don’t buy this expecting industrial kennel-grade security. The latches can feel delicate, and the "90% pre-assembled" tag overstates the convenience somewhat — plan for a hands-on assembly session with a helper and a drill to speed things along. If your goal is an attractive, functional home crate for medium/large companion dogs (not heavy chewers), this is a very compelling option in the mid-range furniture crate category.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• measure the space where you plan to put the crate and confirm 78.74" x 27.56" x 33.46" fits.
• measure your dog(s) standing height and length to ensure comfortable turning and standing room within the listed size and configuration.
• decide whether you want the removable middle partition installed for two dogs or removed for a single large space.
• plan for assembly time (expect ~1–2 hours) and have a second person or a cordless drill handy.
• consider reinforcing or swapping latches if you have a known chewer or escape artist.
• confirm color choice — available: white, brown, dark grey, oak grey — and that the top will be used for light decor or a TV.

Final pros & cons

Pros

• Attractive furniture-style design that functions as a TV cabinet/side table.
• Removable divider and multiple doors give flexible layouts.
• Raised 3.94" feet for easier floor cleaning and robot vacuum access.
• Thicker metal pipes and reinforced bottom tubing improve perceived sturdiness.
• 2 year warranty provides an extra layer of assurance.

Cons

• "90% pre-assembled" claim is optimistic — expect to do significant assembly.
• Door latches can feel finicky and may need reinforcement for very active or destructive dogs.
• Listing doesn’t spell out the materials' certs or paint/coating details; if that’s important to you, the listing doesn’t specify.

Photos & color note

The listing image filenames suggest multiple colorways, and the available options listed are White, Brown, Dark Grey, and Oak Grey. In use these colorways read like neutral furniture finishes that integrate into many living rooms.

Verdict summary

If you want a piece of furniture that houses two dogs or one large dog and you prioritize aesthetics with adequate durability for companion animals, the EasyCom 78.74" double crate is an excellent mid-range option. If your needs skew toward industrial strength or you keep a power chewer, look elsewhere or plan latch upgrades. For most home owners with calmer medium-to-large dogs, the balance of form and function here is hard to beat.
