Xylavate 71" Double Dog Crate Furniture Review

Intro

I'm The Pet Dude — a pet parent and gear nerd — and I spend a lot of time looking for dog gear that actually belongs in a living room, not a garage. The Xylavate 71" double dog crate furniture is one of those hybrid pieces that tries to do triple duty: a kennel for two dogs, a piece of living-room furniture, and a functional storage/charging station. The brand leans into the “furniture first” idea and the listing calls this product a multiuse console that blends style and function. In my time with this piece (and working through hands-on notes from other owners), its strengths and the few caveats become clear: it's heavy and substantial, it includes clever features like a rotating feeder and built-in outlets, and it’s designed to make a crate feel less like a crate. Below I walk through what it is, how it lives day-to-day with dogs of different sizes and needs, the build and materials the listing highlights, safety flags you should check, who should consider this and who should skip it, and my final verdict with a compact checklist to run through before you click buy.

What it is / first look

On first look, this is a 71-inch wide, furniture-style double dog crate intended for indoor use. The listing lists the item dimensions as 71" L x 23.6" W x 34.7" H and the unit weight as 134.7 pounds. The product is described on the listing as a double kennel with a removable middle divider so you can run it as two separate compartments or open it into one large space. It ships with an installation guide in the box.

Key design features called out in the product copy and that I observed include:

• Removable middle divider so one large or two smaller spaces are possible.
• 360° rotating feeder that holds four food-grade stainless steel bowls, designed with anti-spill edges and described as dishwasher-safe.
• Three fluted drawers with smooth steel slides for storage of leashes, toys, and supplies.
• Built-in charging station with USB ports, Type-C, and AC outlets plus a cord management system to enclose wires.
• Sliding door system with reinforced bottom groove to help keep the door secure.

The listing lists materials as MDF and reinforced metal, and the product copy emphasizes reinforced construction and a pet-safe design. The default color in the listing is Walnut; the images and listing present the unit as a living-room console-sized piece with a refined look rather than an exposed wire crate.

In daily use

My overall day-to-day impression, formed from hands-on time and owner feedback, is that this is a practical piece for people who want a formal-looking furniture console that doubles as a kennel. The rotating feeder and the enclosed power/charging stations are the features that make the unit feel purposeful rather than purely decorative. Below I break out what the piece is like for different dog sizes and household scenarios.

Small dogs / puppies

For small dogs, this piece is roomy and cozy. The removable divider makes the compartments appropriately scaled for two small dogs or for one small dog with room for bedding and a favorite toy. The listing calls out a Breed Recommendation of "Small Medium Dog," and also lists "Dog Breed Size" values that include Large, Medium, Small — so the listing positions the product for a wide range of dog sizes. The listing doesn’t specify exact weight limits, so if you have a very large or giant-breed puppy you should compare the crate dimensions to your dog's expected adult size before buying.

Practically, small dogs benefit from the enclosed-feel of the furniture style and the sliding doors; the listing highlights a reinforced bottom groove to help keep the door in place so small dogs can't easily push it open. The rotating feeder with four small stainless bowls makes feeding two little dogs at once tidy; the bowls are described as dishwasher-safe which simplifies cleanup.

Medium dogs

Medium dogs are squarely in the intended audience. The removable divider lets you create two medium-sized compartments or open the whole 71" width into one long space if you want both dogs to share. The listing says smooth steel slides for the drawers and a reinforced design; in daily use those features translate to quiet access to supplies and a substantial feeling overall that I noticed from the first time I moved it into position. The unit’s listed construction (MDF plus reinforced metal) gives it a furniture-like finish while keeping the kennel part secure.

Large dogs / multi-dog households

The listing includes "Large" in the Dog Breed Size field, and the removable divider explicitly allows the crate to be used either as two compartments or one large area. If you plan to use the crate for two large dogs together in one open space, double-check the crate footprint (71" x 23.6" x 34.7") against your dogs’ size and resting habits — the listing gives the dimensions so you can make that comparison. A positive note from hands-on accounts: the top surface is described as sturdy enough to hold a TV and décor, so the platform is substantial enough to function as a living-room console in houses with multiple dogs.

Using the top as a TV stand / console

The listing and owner feedback both highlight the top as usable furniture surface: TV stand, console table, or sideboard were specifically mentioned. The listing also highlights a built-in charging station and cord-management system. That combination is why many people choose furniture-style crates: the piece fills a functional home role while containing dogs out of sight. The listing does not give a TV weight rating; owners have said the top holds a TV and décor, but if you have an especially heavy television or AV stack, measure and plan accordingly.

Feeding, cleaning, and storage

The rotating feeder and the four stainless bowls are meant to make mealtimes tidier and to allow feeding access from either side of the crate; the listing says the bowls are food-grade stainless steel, dishwasher-safe, and have anti-spill edges. Drawer storage with smooth steel slides is handy for toys, leashes and treats; the listing emphasizes smooth, quiet slides and a refined look.

Materials & build quality

The listing states this product is crafted from MDF and reinforced metal, and lists a unit weight of 134.7 pounds. That heft is noticeable — moving the assembled unit requires at least two people — and it does make the crate feel anchored in place once it's set where you want it. The listing also calls out reinforced bottom grooves on the sliding doors and smooth steel slides for the drawers. In hands-on feedback I saw consistent praise for a solid-feeling build, stable doors, and the premium furniture look.

Specific hardware and feature notes from the listing:

• 360° rotating feeder with 4 stainless steel bowls that are described as rust-resistant and dishwasher-safe.
• Smooth steel drawer slides and fluted drawer fronts for a furniture-like finish.
• Built-in charging station that includes USB ports, Type-C, and AC outlets plus an enclosed cord management system.
• Removable middle divider for flexible interior layout.

Those features combine to make the piece feel more like a piece of household furniture than a kennel. That’s the explicit intent in the product copy and it’s the main selling point for most owners who pick this style.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority when assessing any kennel or furniture that contains pets. The listing highlights several features that address common safety concerns:

• Door security: The listing calls out a reinforced bottom groove to help keep the sliding door securely in place and prevent dogs from pushing it open during movement or activity.
• Cord management: The built-in charging station is paired with a cord management system the listing describes as enclosed to reduce chewing hazards and clutter.
• Feeder design: The rotating feeder uses food-grade stainless steel bowls with anti-spill edges; bowls are described as rust-resistant and dishwasher-safe.

From owners’ hands-on notes and my experience, the sliding doors operate smoothly and the reinforced groove and steel components help the doors stay put. That said, there are a few safety checks you should run before using this unit with your dogs:

1. Measure your dog and compare to the listed interior dimensions (the listing gives overall dimensions) to ensure the space is appropriate for standing, turning, and lying comfortably. The listing provides the item dimensions: 71" x 23.6" x 34.7".
2. Confirm the divider position and latch(s) are secure. The listing says the middle divider is removable; be sure any divider hardware is fully engaged so one dog can’t push into the other side unexpectedly.
3. Use the cord-management compartment to route chargers and cables. The listing describes enclosed cord management; keep the compartment closed when not actively charging devices to minimize chewing risk.
4. Inspect the bowls and feeder for stability after setup. The listing describes anti-spill edges and dishwasher-safe steel bowls, but confirm they sit flush in the rotating housing to reduce tipping or jostling during mealtimes.

The listing doesn’t mention certifications or specific weight limits for TV placement, nor does it specify a manufacturer warranty length in the details provided, so if those items matter to you the listing recommends contacting customer support for part replacement or other after-sales help. The product page does offer a process to request replacement parts if anything is missing or damaged in transit.

Who this is for / who should skip

If you want a crate that hides in plain sight and doubles as a functional living-room piece, this is designed for you. The listing and owner experiences point to a few clear use cases:

• Multi-dog households that want a unified piece of furniture rather than separate kennels. The removable middle divider is explicitly meant to support two compartments or one large kennel.
• Owners who prioritize tidy feeding and cable management. The rotating feeder with four stainless bowls and the built-in charging station with Type-C, USB and AC outlets are central conveniences.
• People who want storage in a kennel: the three fluted drawers with smooth steel slides are useful for leashes, treats, grooming supplies and the like.

Who should skip this unit or pause before buying:

• If you need a crate with an exact weight/load rating for a heavy TV or other equipment: the listing does not provide a maximum load rating for the top surface, so measure and plan accordingly before placing heavy electronics on top.
• If you need a portable, lightweight travel crate: the listing shows the unit weighs 134.7 pounds, so this is a heavy, stationary piece intended for indoor furniture use rather than travel.
• If you want precise warranty or certification details in the product copy: the listing outlines after-sales support and part replacement procedures but does not specify warranty length or formal certifications in the provided description.

Verdict

Overall, the Xylavate 71" double dog crate furniture is a strong option for dog owners who want a furniture-forward kennel for one or two dogs. The listing describes durable materials (MDF plus reinforced metal), practical features like a 360° rotating feeder with four stainless bowls, three storage drawers with smooth steel slides, and a built-in charging station with USB, Type-C and AC outlets. At 134.7 pounds and 71" wide, it’s a hefty, anchored piece meant to sit in your living room rather than move around.

The parts that impressed me most in hands-on use were the smooth sliding door, the secure-feeling reinforced bottom groove, and the convenience of the rotating feeding station paired with enclosed cord management. Those features make the unit feel thoughtfully designed for both pets and people. The removable middle divider adds flexibility for growth or multi-dog living.

There are limits to be aware of: the listing doesn’t specify a top weight limit for TV placement or a warranty length, and it doesn’t list exact maximum dog weights. If those specifics matter, contact the seller or compare the internal dimensions to your dog’s size before buying.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Measure the placement area and confirm 71" L x 23.6" W x 34.7" H fits your space.
• Compare the crate interior to your dog’s standing and turning measurements — the listing gives overall dimensions but not specific interior clearance or weight limits.
• Decide if you’ll use it as two compartments or one large kennel; the listing includes a removable middle divider for that flexibility.
• Plan for the unit’s weight (134.7 pounds) during delivery and setup — it’s heavy once assembled.
• Confirm whether you’ll put a TV on top — the listing shows the top used as a console/TV stand but does not list a maximum top load.
• Use the cord management compartment and keep it closed to reduce chewing risk; the listing highlights this as a pet-safety feature.

If you want a heavy, furniture-style double crate that blends into home decor and includes feeding and charging conveniences, the listing and hands-on reports make this a compelling pick. If you need portability, explicit load ratings, or a specified warranty length spelled out in the listing, plan to get those clarifications from the seller before purchase.
