The fable of the Crate

Inviting someone back to her place was a big step for the Dog. It was a sacred spot, one she’d made cozy in all the right ways. What if someone else unfluffed her bed? Or, worse, threw off the vibes?

“One-part stylish side table, one-part cozy dog den."
"A gorgeous, anxiety-relieving dog crate.”
“It works even if your dog is Goldilocks-level picky, plus it doubles as a cool side table.”
“Once it’s time for bed, put this cozy mat in one of Fable’s signature crates and it will be all sweet doggy dreams from there.”

    AMAZING!!

    Was super nervous after I ordered my crate, looking at the reviews seeing how many people were not impressed with theirs. HOWEVER, I am shocked by how they cannot be obsessed with it! I am in LOVE with this crate! The limited edition walnut finish is so beautiful and the color of the light blue bed I chose to go with it is just the perfect match! My 1 year old pembroke welsh corgi absolutely LOVES it! He was intimidated at first, as he watched me assemble it, then was confused as how it worked, but now he LOVES to hangout in his den all the time!! Would give it a million stars if I could! Saving up to by another one to go on the other side of my bed for when I get another dog, I’m that obsessed with this crate!!!!

    Worth it

    We have a 50 pound dog so we got the large crate. It was well worth the wait. Boba loves going in there just to hang out which he never did in his old crate. I think he really does appreciate the den-like atmosphere. My partner and I love all of the fable products. The folks over there really know what they are doing when it comes to design. Definitely our favorite brand. Also shoutout to Savannah at customer service… YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

    Took longer to arrive, very heavy, too big

    I recently received my large crate, it arrived over 3 months after they initially told me it would come which was very frustrating. They also didn’t communicate the delays to me until I reached out to ask what the status of the crate was so I wish that was handled better. Be prepared to wait longer than they say for the crate. I’m using the crate for my 55lb dog and now that I see the large in person I wish I just went with the medium. It is taller than it needs to be for my dog, and too tall to be used as a side table like I planned. I wish they had pictures available of the large crate with a dog in it as they do the other sizes because that would have helped. The crate is extremely heavy and difficult to move. I also wish it didn’t say fable on each side. It is nice quality but knowing what I know now I probably wouldn’t have made this purchase.

    Hi Jessica,

    Thank you for your feedback here, and for your patience while we navigating delays with the Large Crates. Sorry to hear it is larger than expected. The dimensions for all Crate sizes are on the product page so customers are able to measure it out to determine which is best for their dog and home. Hope your dog enjoys!

    Took forever but it is well-packaged

    It took 4 months to arrive and I assume it was shipped without a signature since it is too heavy for anyone to run off with! It weighted around 130 pounds and even though it was very well packed, the box was too bulky to get upstairs around our zigzagging staircase. I'm really glad it wasn't raining or snowing because we had to unpack it outdoors to get it inside. It truly is more like a piece of furniture than a dog crate. Our Ringo dog loves it. For an english springer spaniel, other traditional crate manufacturers recommended 36. The medium Fable brand crate is 32" long internally, and the large was 40" so we opted for the large even though it was newly released and would take longer. For those deciding between medium and large, I recommend putting painters tape on the floor to match the outer dimensions of both sizes. I forgot to think about the height to be honest. The tape guides really helped us decide which woudl be best and would fit our dog's adult size. We did supervise our 7 month old puppy when he first used the fable crate since he normally uses a metal wire crate and we wanted to be sure he didn't destroy such a nicely designed crate. If your dog isn't crate trained but you want to invest in a nicer crate like this one, I do recommend ensuring your dog is crate trained before getting one - and you can do this with one of the cheap ugly crates first and then pass it along to a fostering group. The Fable Crate is very strong I am guessing most average-weight…

    Very nice

    The crate is very spacious and I really like that it’s wood. Think it could have been slightly lower and would have preferred more of a flat top shape to serve as table. Probably needed extra height to accommodate door. Huge improvement on traditional plastic and metal crates. Wish it did not take quite so long to arrive from order date but pleased my pup gets to sleep in such a lovely “cave.”
