Do you crash into or trip over a dog crate? I thought once the puppy was trained the crate could go away, but I found that the dog liked having his crate to settle into when he wanted some alone time. It’s nice to have still have a place to settle the dog sometimes when things are going on that he will be overly interested in or might get hurt (like construction).

ClosetMaid Small Pet Crate End Tables
The small ones are 21.1” high. You want your dog to be comfortable sitting up, so measure how high he is from the floor to the top of your dog when he is sitting. That’s either his ears or the top of his head, whichever is highest. Then add a little space so he’s not bumping against the ceiling.
We don’t have a cat, but I guess that cats might like or need a crate, too.
There are two finishes. they are both laminate, so easy to clean.
There is a latch, so you can latch your pet in.
ClosetMaid Medium Pet Crate End Tables
The medium-sized crates are 22.3” high, so they are comfortable for a dog that is under 20″ or so sitting up straight. The crates are 30” front to back, so measure from the tip of your dogs nose to his butt to make sure he will be able to turn around and lay comfortably.
The laminate is easy to clean and you can put in any bedding your pup likes.

They are sized to use as an end table or bedside table.
