Hzuaneri 86.6in Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude — a pet parent who pays attention to how gear performs in the real world and how it fits into a busy home. The Hzuaneri 86.6" Dog Crate Furniture is one of those hybrid pieces that promises to do double duty: a secure indoor kennel for two dogs plus a furniture surface you can live with. I spent time pulling together the product specs and owner experiences to give you a clear, practical take on whether this is the kind of crate furniture that works for your household.

What it is / first look

On paper the Hzuaneri DFC84014BV1 is a furniture-style indoor dog crate designed to hold two dogs (or be used as a single kennel by removing the divider). The listing gives the full exterior footprint for this model as 86.6 x 27.6 x 30.9 inches and a shipped item weight of 158.7 pounds. It’s presented as a decorative piece meant to blend into living rooms or bedrooms while offering crate functionality.

This unit is made from engineered wood and metal. The listing calls out "premium particle board" for the panels and 0.4-inch steel tubes for the bars, and it advertises chewproof construction, double-welded points on the metal, and a removable divider so the interior can be one large space or two separate rooms. The manufacturer also lists a weight capacity of up to 330 pounds for the top and overall structure.

What's included

• Dog Crate Furniture (assembled from kit)
• Two 5-layer machine-washable cushions (stackable)
• Removable divider (per listing)

Available sizes and colors

The listing shows multiple size options; the dimensions available include:

• 63.0" L x 21.7" W x 23.6" H
• 70.9" L x 23.6" W x 24.4" H
• 86.6" L x 27.6" W x 30.9" H (this review)

Colorways listed include:

• White Brown
• Black Gold

(Image filenames on the listing helped confirm multiple color options.)

In daily use

I generally evaluate how a piece of furniture-crate performs for three common household scenarios: medium dogs who like to snooze near people, two-dog households that want a shared-but-divided space, and larger-breed owners who want a crate that truly fits their big dog. The listing provides an internal size for a single dog compartment (listed as 41.6L x 25.7W x 29.2H inches), and owners’ experiences help fill in what that means in practice.

Medium dogs and multi-dog households

If you have medium-size dogs (Goldendoodles, Goldens, many standardized mutts) the footprint and height in the 86.6" model will be comfortable for them to sit, lay down, and turn around. Multiple owners reported that two medium dogs fit well and loved the aesthetics: the crate reads like furniture and many pets took to the space right away. The unit comes with two thin, machine-washable cushions that stack; owners often put pee pads or an extra pad under the cushions for easier cleanup.

Two features that make daily life easier are the multiple access points and the removable divider (the listing states a 4-door design and a removable divider). Owners appreciated that the different door placements let you situate the crate flush against walls or use the side doors depending on room layout.

Short, stocky, or floor-level breeds

Some owners used the crate successfully for short, stocky breeds like English Bulldogs and for a Holland Lop rabbit — the listing notes it as an "indoor" product and some internal notes show small-animal use. When dogs are shorter rather than taller, the clearance and interior length worked well. One owner said their two English Bulldogs (45 and 55 lb) could lie on their sides and stretch out in the compartment.

Large/tall breeds

The listing names large breeds (German Shepherd, Golden Retriever) as being among the dogs the single compartment can fit, but owner reports are mixed. Several owners who researched breed dimensions before buying were satisfied because they matched the internal dimensions to their dog's shoulder height and length. Other owners noted that while the listing advertises large-breed fit, the interior may be tight for taller or very long breeds and recommended measuring your dog against the stated internal dimensions before ordering.

Everyday conveniences and annoyances

• The cushions are removable and machine-washable (the listing states you can toss the cushion in the washing machine).
• Many owners liked that it looks like furniture and blends into a living space better than a metal kennel.
• Placement: at 158.7 pounds the crate is heavy and stable once assembled, but that weight means it’s not something you’ll move around daily.
• One practical note from owners: the top is actually two pieces joined together — a seam may show if you care about a single smooth tabletop surface.

Materials & build quality

The listing identifies the material package as engineered wood (referred to as "premium particle board" in the item copy) combined with metal tubing for the bars. Key hardware details called out are 0.4-inch steel tubes, double welded points on metal, and thickened particleboard panels. The manufacturer also calls the piece chewproof.

From the internal owner notes I saw a pattern: many people found the finished product solid and heavier-than-expected, while a smaller subset had concerns about small parts and assembly fit.

What went well

• Numerous owners described the final assembled crate as sturdy and attractive — they said it blended into their room and felt more like furniture than a crate.
• Several people praised the thickness of panels and metal grates, calling them solid for the price point; one owner specifically called the back panels thick compared with other crates they’d tried.
• For people with mellow or moderate-energy dogs, the metal and panel construction seemed to hold up well in day-to-day use.

Where the hardware and fit can disappoint

• Assembly instructions: multiple owners found the instructions unclear; one person said the holes for the wooden dowels were larger than needed and they improvised with matchsticks or replaced dowels to get a snug fit.
• Quality of included hardware: reviewers called the hardware "okayish" and said it was serviceable but not premium; one owner suggested they might replace screws/dowels in the future if needed.
• Doors and locks: a few owners mentioned the locks can stick and require jiggling to open or close; another owner described the doors as "not the strongest" which echoes that the mechanical hardware isn’t automotive-grade.
• Chew resistance: while the listing calls out chewproof steel tubes and double-welded points, at least one owner with a German Shepherd reported their dog chewed through the unit in under a month. That report contradicts the chewproof claim in practice for very determined chewers.

Safety considerations

If safety is your number-one filter, here are the facts and owner signals to weigh. I list the product facts first and then add owner-reported issues so you can make a risk decision for your dog.

Key listing facts

• The listing lists a 0.4-inch gap size between metal tubes (this is the measured gap called out in the product specs).
• Metal bars are 0.4-inch steel tubes with double-welded points, per the listing.
• The listing markets the crate as chewproof and escape-proof due to thickened particleboard and the steel tubing construction.

Owner-reported safety signals

• One owner reported a German Shepherd chewed through the crate in less than a month. That’s an important signal: owners with very strong or highly-motivated chewers should treat the chewproof claim cautiously.
• Several owners said the locks can get sticky or need a little jiggling to operate. If you need a crate for reliable, single-handed locking (for example, a dog that’s reactive when doors are moved), factor in the potential for imperfect hardware.
• Because the product is heavy and made of particle board, if a dog chews or damages panels the exposed unfinished edge of the divider or panels could be a tempting chew surface — one owner noted the center trim was unfinished after removing screws.

Bottom line on safety: the listing provides protective details (metal tubes, welded points, 0.4" gap), but internal reports show mixed real-world performance for heavy chewers and some mechanical quirks with door hardware. If your dog is a determined chewer or an extreme escape artist, I’d recommend a heavy-duty metal crate specifically rated for escape-prone dogs or supervising the dog while in this unit.

Who this is for / who should skip

I always narrow recommendations by pet size, behavior, and owner expectations. Here’s how I think the Hzuaneri 86.6" model fits different households.

Good fit

• Households with two medium-sized dogs that want them to share a space or have two adjacent rooms. Multiple owners reported that two medium dogs fit comfortably and used it as a bedroom-style crate.
• Owners who prioritize a furniture look and want the crate to blend into living space; many people said it looks like a TV stand or end table rather than a kennel.
• People who want easy cushion care: the listing says the cushions are machine-washable and removable.
• Owners who don’t plan to move the crate often; at nearly 159 pounds assembled, it’s heavy and meant to be a semi-permanent piece.

Who should skip or take caution

• Homes with very large, tall, or long-boned breeds where maximizing standing headroom and overall stretch-out length is required — the internal compartment size should be checked against your dog’s measurements first.
• Dogs who chew obsessively or try to dismantle crates — even though the listing claims chewproof construction, at least one owner reported a rapid failure with a determined German Shepherd.
• Anyone who needs rock-solid, repeatedly reliable locking hardware for a dog that tips or jostles doors; some owner reports suggest the latches can stick or require fiddling.

Verdict

I like the Hzuaneri 86.6" Dog Crate Furniture as an attractive, heavy, and functional furniture-style crate for many medium-size dogs or two-dog households who want the crate to double as living-room or bedroom furniture. The engineered wood panels and metal tubing give it a finished look most traditional wire crates don’t have, and the machine-washable cushions are a helpful everyday convenience.

That said, there are real trade-offs. Assembly isn’t always seamless — owners reported unclear instructions, oversized dowel holes, and "okayish" hardware in the box. Performance against determined chewers is mixed: the listing claims chewproof design, but owner feedback includes at least one rapid chew-through by a German Shepherd. If your dog is a relentless chewer or you absolutely need industrial-grade locking and chew resistance, consider that limitation.

Check before you buy

• Measure your dog(s) and compare to the listed single-compartment internal size: 41.6" L x 25.7" W x 29.2" H.
• Decide if you want a semi-permanent, heavy piece — the item weight listed is 158.7 pounds for this model, so it’s not meant to be moved frequently.
• Plan for assembly: owners report the instructions could be clearer; set aside a few hours and have common tools and some spare dowels or stronger screws on hand if you’re uncomfortable improvising.
• If you have a chewer, test supervised short sessions first; owner reports show mixed chew-resistance in real homes despite the listing’s chewproof claim.
• Confirm the color and size option you want (available colors include White Brown, Black Gold, Greige Black, Rustic Brown and Black) and whether the top seam matters for your decor expectations.

Overall, for many pet parents seeking a furniture-grade crate at a competitive price point, this Hzuaneri model is worth considering — just be realistic about its limits with very determined chewers and about potential assembly headaches.

FAQ

1. Q: Will this 86.6" model fit a German Shepherd comfortably?

   A: The listing includes German Shepherd in the list of large dogs it can fit and gives the single-compartment internal size as 41.6" L x 25.7" W x 29.2" H. Several owners recommended measuring your dog's standing height and body length against those interior dimensions before buying because owner experiences vary — some owners found it comfortable for their dogs, while others cautioned it may be tight for taller or longer large-breed dogs.

2. Q: Are the cushions machine-washable?

   A: Yes. The listing specifies that the non-slip cushion is removable and can be tossed into the washing machine, and the item copy describes two 5-layer machine-washable soft cushions with a soft velvet layer, silk, sponge, an impermeable aluminum foil layer, and an anti-slip bottom.

3. Q: Is the crate actually chewproof?

   A: The manufacturer lists anti-chew and anti-escape features — 0.4-inch steel tubes, double-welded points, and thickened particleboard — and advertises the unit as chewproof. However, internal owner reports are mixed: while many owners found the metal and panels sturdy, at least one owner reported a German Shepherd chewed through the unit in under a month. So the listing claims chewproof construction, but real-world performance can vary by dog and behavior.

4. Q: How difficult is assembly?

   A: Owner experiences vary. Several people said assembly was straightforward and completed in a couple of hours; others found the instructions unclear, described the included hardware as just "okayish," and noted dowel holes that were too large (some improvised with matchsticks or purchased better dowels). Expect to spend time and have basic tools handy; one experienced assembler finished it alone in under four hours with breaks.

5. Q: Does the divider actually remove to make one big crate?

   A: The listing states the divider is removable so you can create one or two rooms. One owner noted the center trim is solid and not finished after removing screws, so while the divider can be taken out, doing so may reveal an unfinished edge. The listing confirms a removable divider, but if a fully finished single large interior is important, be aware of that owner-reported detail.

6. Q: How sturdy are the door latches?

   A: The listing highlights welded metal points and 0.4" steel tubes, but several owners warned that the included locks or latches can stick and sometimes need a little jiggling to open. One owner described the doors as "not the strongest" and said they'd work best for smaller to medium dogs rather than extremely forceful dogs.

7. Q: What colors and sizes are available?

   A: The listing shows multiple colors (White Brown, Black Gold, Greige Black, Rustic Brown, and Black) and several sizes including 63.0" L x 21.7" W x 23.6" H, 70.9" L x 23.6" W x 24.4" H, and the 86.6" L x 27.6" W x 30.9" H model reviewed here.
