We were so frustrated with the lack of quality in two of the standard steel wire crates (the first and the exchange).
It's hard to describe how happy with are with this purchase. It is easy to assemble, it is well designed, it is good looking, and it is easy to use. The who crate easily folds up for when we travel with our dog. Nice feature.
It came with a nice "carpeted" cushion for our one-year old mini-Australian Shepherd. I was not expecting that.
We find that we don't even have to use the latches on the front of the crate. Our puppy has not even tried to get out of the crate when we simply close the front. By the way, the front of the crate lifts and slides right into the top of the crate.
Yes, it's expensive but only relative to the badly designed, low quality stuff that is out there as an alternative.

Less sturdy and more clunky than I was hoping
I was looking for a smaller crate and one that would double as an travel crate for my 60lb coonhound/cur mix. In my error, I grossly underestimated her size and chose the 36in. Definitely my mistake there as she stands 25" from floor to shoulder and I stupidly went off the weight alone.That aside, the package (43lbs) came quickly and well-packaged. I liked that it has wheels and a softshell carrying case. It also comes with a soft, fuzzy but thin crate pad and instructions that could have used better photocopying. Setting it up solo had me finding it all a bit clunky. It's foldability is set up nicely, but in practice can be frustrating when the side walls that the heavy top sets on falls down repeatedly. The neato garage-door would then fall out when you try to set it down to pick the sides up and I had it fall out on my toes which wasn't particularly pleasant. It's easy enough to figure out, though, when everything aligns. The clasps are difficult to maneuver if one's thumb is not terribly strong or is arthritic, plus, if you needed to get to your closed-in pet with any speed, it wouldn't happen. Overall when all walls are set up and clasps in place, it's more sturdy, but using the garage-door function limits that stability. Even with it down, I would not recommend for any dog that would try to escape or is a chewer. Wouldn't hold, in my opinion, or the dog might get its head stuck trying to get out which could be tragic. I personally fail to see why the top needs a door as it seems like just another escape route/weak point, but I repeat that the clasps are not finger-friendly.I ended up returning it as I just simply could not bring myself to like/trust it enough to give to someone with a smaller dog or saving it for when I inevitably get a second dog myself.Pros: portable, wheels, foldable, garage-door, multi-door, comes with crate pad, relatively lightweightCons: sturdiness, difficult clasps, clunky, slippery bottom with included pad

Our boy is 70 lbs to get an idea of an XL. Plenty of room too. He was crate trained as a puppy, I think a dog that’s going fight it might get out. But a determined dog can get out of just about anything. It is a bit wobbly but seems sturdy enough.
Fits well in a Ford Explorer cargo hold and was easy for my husband to lift in already unfolded. We bought it for camping, and I think it’s going to be ideal. The pad that’s included is like any crate pad (pretty thin) but very soft and good quality. We just put his bed on top since it’s more padding for the long trip. We got a good deal with it on sale. Overall, we are very happy and would recommend!
