The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Amazon Basics collapsible double-door wire crate is a close value alternative to the MidWest, holding a 4.7 average across roughly 11,600 ratings and a divider panel for growing dogs. High-trust r/dogs threads in the signals describe Amazon Basics crates favorably, with one reviewer in r/dogs saying they were 'extremely impressed with the integrity of the AmazonBasics crates' and would trust the 48-inch with a large dog. The two-door layout is the standout, giving more placement flexibility in a room or near a car, and r/puppy101 and r/OpenDogTraining members mention using these for travel by securing them with straps.

What reviewers liked

  • Double-door design adds placement and access flexibility
  • High-trust r/dogs commenters praise build integrity of Amazon Basics crates
  • 4.7 average across ~11.6k ratings with divider panel included

Where it falls short

  • Most expert coverage is affiliate YouTube, not independent testing
  • Wire build is not escape-proof for strong or anxious dogs
  • Reviewers note it still 'looks like a cage' for those wanting furniture-style aesthetics

Across the reviewers we read, the Amazon Basics collapsible double-door wire crate is a close value alternative to the MidWest, holding a 4.7 average across roughly 11,600 ratings and a divider panel for growing dogs. High-trust r/dogs threads in the signals describe Amazon Basics crates favorably, with one reviewer in r/dogs saying they were 'extremely impressed with the integrity of the AmazonBasics crates' and would trust the 48-inch with a large dog.

The two-door layout is the standout, giving more placement flexibility in a room or near a car, and r/puppy101 and r/OpenDogTraining members mention using these for travel by securing them with straps. Most of the dedicated 'expert' coverage is affiliate-style YouTube rather than independent testing, so we weight it as corroboration of the strong customer consensus rather than load-bearing. Like other wire crates, it's not the pick for a powerful chewer.

It comes in a small size with a storage closet and spill tray attached and it looks like furniture while maintaining the standard wire crate ...
Trustedvia r/puppy101
We've never had any issues. When we use it in the car, we hook the crate straps over the headrest. It keeps the crate secure while we travel.
