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.”

    Beautiful crate, falls short…

    At 3 months old, our puppy got her sharp baby teeth stuck on the wires of one of those “cheap” metal crates found at most pet stores. Her screams were enough for me to pull the trigger on purchasing the Fable Crate (which I’d already had my eyes on). I’m lucky that she isn’t much of a chewer, so we haven’t had any issues with her gnawing on the door or any of the wooden parts that protrude inside the crate.

    Out of all the dog crates I’ve seen on the market, the Fable Crate is one of (if not *the*) best looking crates out there. It’s sturdy, incredibly heavy, and the medium doubles as a massive side table & plant stand for our living room.

    We’ve had the crate for just over two months and I’m disappointed to report that it’s already fallen apart on us. After closing the door, I heard a pop and the left side of the door came apart from the hanging rail. I have no idea how it was even held together — it looks like it was barely welded or glued, no screws as far as I can tell. This gives me concern about the longevity of the door.

    I just emailed their support team, so I don’t know if this is something they will repair or replace for us. Regardless, it’s a huge disappointment for something to fall apart that looks so nice and costs so much.

    Fable Kennel Review: A Long-Awaited Splurge for My Chiweenie!

    I’ve been wanting the Fable Kennel for over three years, and I finally bucked up and bought it! The biggest hesitation for me was definitely the cost—this is 100% what I’d call a luxury purchase. I have a 15lb Chiweenie mix who absolutely loved his old wire kennel. He spends most of his day either in it or perched on top, keeping tabs on the neighborhood as a full-time watchdog.

    The kennel shipped pretty quickly, and I built it right away. Assembly was fairly easy; it’s a tad heavy, but I actually like that about it. It’s slightly lighter in color than I was expecting, but overall, I’m happy with it.

    For some reason, it took my pup over two weeks to actually start using the kennel. (Today was the first day he finally went in on his own!) Of course, as his dog mom, I had to snap some pictures to mark the occasion.

    I didn’t purchase the Fable bed to go with it—maybe someday! For now, my pup’s current dog bed is working just fine, although it hangs off the edge a little bit. That’s a problem for another day in the budget, lol.

    I love the look of it—it blends so much better with my furniture than the old wire one. The hidden door is a huge plus since I almost never lock him in anyway, and it stays out of the way. All in all, I’m really happy I finally made the splurge!

    Teddy’s fable crate

    Absolutely great crating system. Easy to assemble ( even for me), and more importantly purple and daughter love it.

    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
