Crate
Our signature crate is made from premium bentwood and comes in two finishes—signature and limited-edition walnut. The gate, which comes in metal or clear acrylic, may be secured in place or stored discreetly within the unit. The minimal design blends seamlessly into any home as a side table and balances generous airflow and light in a serene den-like environment for your pet to recover from adventuring.
To make sure your dog adapts well to their new crate, we recommend monitoring your pet closely during the first few days (particularly in the case of very young dogs).
Bed sold separately. Purchase the Fable Crate and Bed together with the Best Selling Rest Set.

Please note Crates are shipped separately from any non-Crate items in your order. You'll receive an email with tracking info once it's on the way! Once shipped, UPS Ground service takes about 5-10 business days to deliver.
We are unable to accept crate returns as we have no way of receiving large/furniture return shipments. Please keep in mind our crates are handmade, so there may be minor imperfections or variations in the wood as with any piece of furniture. Before purchasing a Crate, it is important you ensure the Crate is a good fit for your dog’s size and behavior, as our Crate may not work for every dog. Please email us at help@fablepets.com if you have any questions about the Crate.
If your dog enjoys a cozy spot of its own to relax in, it’d be a great fit! If your dog is a bit more rambunctious, a known chewer, and/or fearful of being crated - it may not be the best option for them.
If your dog demonstrates serious chewing/destructive tendencies, particularly with furniture, our crate may not be the best option for you.
If your dog likes to see what’s going on and stay part of the action, we recommend the clear acrylic door. If your dog enjoys a bit of a cozier den and doesn’t mind a little me-time, we recommend the white gate.
No, it is not possible to change the door since it’s connected to the roof of the unit. If you’re having any issues with the door and/or crate assembly, please reach out to help@fablepets.com with photos and a description of the issue. We’re always happy to help!
It should only take you about 20 minutes or so to assemble the Crate. An allen wrench, screws, and instruction manual will be provided.
Yes, the Crate can be disassembled by reversing the assembly instructions.
No, we do not currently offer a training partition for the Crate.
A clean, damp cloth should be sufficient for regular cleaning. For more serious messes, animal-safe wood cleaning solutions will work the same way they would for furniture or floors.
Our Crates are handmade and one of a kind, and we are committed to paying our manufacturing partners fairly, utilizing high-quality/durable designs and materials, and investing in sustainable shipping practices. We continue to work with our production partners to adjust designs and processes in order to bring products to our customers at fair prices.
We generally suggest size XS/S for dogs weighing less than 25 lbs and size M for dogs weighing 25-50 lbs.
**However, every dog is different and we strongly recommend measuring out the crate dimensions below to determine if it feels like the right size for your dog. Please note that because it is a large furniture item, we do not accept returns for the Crate. **
The XS/S Crate is approximately 26" deep x 20" wide x 23" high on the exterior. The interior dimensions are 24.5" deep x 18" wide x 20.5" high. The interior door mechanism is approximately 1 inch, so when the door is closed, the interior dimensions are 24.5" deep x 18" wide x 19" high. Also, please note that because the product is handmade, dimensions may vary by ~1 inch.
The M Crate is approximately 34" deep x 24" wide x 25" high on the exterior. The interior dimensions are 32" deep x 22.5" wide x 23.5" high. The interior door mechanism is approximately 1 inch, so when the door is closed, the interior dimensions are 32" deep x 22.5" wide x 22" high. Also, please note that because the product is handmade, dimensions may vary by ~1 inch.
One of the benefits of our signature Crate is that it is much quieter than most metal crates. However, the latch makes some noise when opening and closing. If your dog is highly sensitive to sound, they might be startled when the latch is opened and closed.
No, crates can never be fully escape-proof, and if your dog is especially guileful, they may be able to sneak out. Because our crate is non-refundable, we advise not ordering if you think your dog may be a natural escape artist.
- Tracy H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoPerfect!
Great for my little pup! He loves having his new kennel. It’s spacious for lounging and is a perfect spot for him to feel protected but still be able to see out of. Plus the design fits in well with our home decor.
- gabriel o.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoFinally at peace with the decor of my living room
I'm extremely satisfied with the product. Not only is it functional and comfortable for my dog, but it also matches my home decor perfectly.
I'm happy to say that the old, unsightly dog crate that used to be in my living room is gone, and I now have peace of mind knowing that nothing in my living room throws off the decor. I highly recommend the Fable dog crate to both new and experienced pet owners.
The shipping took a while because the acrylic door version was out of stock and I didn't notice when I first brought it. My recommendation is that the disclosure gets more noticeable to avoid confusion. but overall it was worth the wait because the acrylic door looks beautiful!
- Douglas B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoThe crate is craftsmanship at
The crate is craftsmanship at its best: quality materials and aesthetic design work together to create a handsome alternative for anyone like myself who found traditional dogs crates an eyesore. Moreover, the crate’s door maneuvers up/ down a kin to a garage door, freeing the entry space and making it more open and inviting, easier to access for cleaning, etc. The additional bed also is constructed well. Overall, it’s a nice piece of furniture with functionality.
- Susan L.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoWe got our crate yesterday,
We got our crate yesterday, put it together last night, and our pup slept happily in it all night. BUT for such an expensive piece, we are very disappointed that the front left side is delaminating, which looks old. The packaging was good, so it doesn’t look like a shipping issue. Disappointed.
FFable3 weeks agoHi Susan, thank you for your feedback here! I see you reach out to our support team and a replacement label has been sent out. I hope your dog has been enjoying the Crate so far! - Cecile C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoWe love it
Our aussie-beagle mix Korra absolutely loves her fable crate, and so do we ! The fit (she is 35 lbs) was a little tight with the fable bed (I had to remove some of the foam) but works great with her favorite fluffy donut bed. She was not a fan of any other metal crates we had so we figured we would give the fable crate a try and boy was it worth it.... Korra will go to her fable crate on command, and is not particularly worried when we close the door either (I think the acrylic transparent door design is really what helps her feel safe and comfortable in there). Sometimes I will close her in if I go get the door for a delivery or opening the oven in the kitchen, and she just patiently wait there. I also bought one for my office at work and it is one of her favorite napping spot (picture attached). It also look absolutely perfect with my office furniture and our living room.
