I was just thinking today when I was cleaning out all the crates how much I hate my clipper crate! The bottom has indentations that make cleaning nearly impossible, even outside spraying with the hose. As Suze says, it tips over, loses its wheels , and the dogs dance it all over the floor even with the wheels supposedly locked. I could not recommend it.
