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.”

    Like a piece of art

    I ordered after looking at dozens of crates online. This crate popped up on instagram and I had exhausted all sites for dog crates. It looked really nice on the Fable web sight, so I went for it. It was unbelievable when it arrived. Perfect in size for my little Frencie. It's a beautiful wood product with a supper comfy pillow. So easy to put together and incredibly strong. It's heavy so it's not going anywhere. I have the lucite door with great visibility and actually has a soft close device,(no tails get caught). The door lifts up into the roof of the crate so no swinging door. Plenty of holes for circulation. I will get another for our boat. No one will regret purchasing this product. It really also works as a piece of furniture, a side table...Puppy loves it too

    Solid purchase. Very pleased with the product but minor improvements would take it over the top.

    I think the Fable crate is a well-crafted and designed product. It has a nice weight and density to it and our 1.5-year-old puppy seems to enjoy it more than the previous product we were using. Overall, I think this is a great crate. The bit of feedback that I have is that the finish of the product does not look and feel as smooth and luxurious as the pictures make it out to be. The color of the plywood gives it an unfinished look. Additionally, our teething pup is taking nibbles on the bottom reinforcement panel and it is looking worn and tattered after only two weeks of use. These are minor complaints, but one I felt should be addressed due to the price point of this product. I will, however, recommend this to others.

    Hard to size, but very nice

    I first saw the crate in a friend’s house, they had the XS/S crate and bed for their pup. I sent my dog in the to check for size, and it seemed way too small. I sized up- the medium was only an inch bigger in each dimension than his old wire crate, but it’s COMICALLY massive for our 15lb mini schnauzer. It’s also an enormous object in our living room. I think if I might have tried it with a lower profile bed, the smaller one might have made more sense. Anyway. It’s lovely, very heavy, and a cozy home for him. The wire crate was definitely a better choice for puppy days since it needed more frequent cleaning, and we needed the size to change, but he’s very happy in his mansion at almost a year old.

    I love the retractable door, it’s so nice to have it out of the way, and the underside of the door mechanism is magnetic, so we were able to easily mount his camera to it.

    Beautiful crate

    It is a beautiful crate, 5 stars for crate. It was easy to put together. Well made & looks like a piece of furniture. My dog is right at home. My only major problem was contact issues. I tried several times to react out via email which is the only way to contact Fable to find out delivery times, I could not find a phone#. Order was put in May. I received crate end of August, 16 weeks. They do state it can take that long but there was no response to my emails. If I have a problem with the product I guess there would be no response. There is no customer service or support. Fable needs to be much better with at least a courtesy response especially with the price of that crate. Luckily no issues with assembly or quality.
