**** The MidWest Homes for Pets Replacement Pan Dog Crate has garnered a mixed reception among customers, becoming a popular choice for dog owners looking to secure their pets during travel. Many users appreciate the sturdier design compared to the cheaper models available on the market. It is noted that the thicker bars add to the crate's overall durability, making it suitable for well-behaved dogs. While it excels in stability, buyers cautioned that these crates are not ideal for dogs with high anxiety and destructive tendencies. Fit and assembly in various vehicles are recurring themes in the reviews. Though some customers found it perfect for their sedans, others with SUVs faced challenges regarding the fit, particularly concerning the metal clips that can obstruct space. Interestingly, many users had to assemble the crate within the vehicle due to its bulk, which can complicate initial setup. Furthermore, a common point of critique is the quality of the plastic tray. Many users report that it feels flimsy, with several experiencing warping or damage after brief use. Some customers noted that the trays are easily breakable and may not withstand the daily use that active pets would require. Despite these criticisms, the overall sturdiness of the crate structure has led many to accept the shortcomings of the plastic pan. In conclusion, those who prioritize sturdiness and a secure crate for their dogs while traveling may find this crate meets their needs, provided they are aware of its limitations in terms of the plastic tray quality and the bulkiness for storage. **
