TownHaus Wooden Pet Crate & Den End Table

We adore our two dogs and three cats and love that they want to be wherever we are when we're home. We've tossed several pet beds around the house but didn't have a retreat where they could curl up and immerse themselves in that secure, cozy feeling they get from closed-in spaces. However, the thought of allowing a typical den, kennel or carrier to take up residency in our carefully decorated living space sent shivers down my pet-loving spine.

The TownHaus arrived carefully packed, double-boxed and perfectly intact. It took my husband all of 10 minutes to assemble the table which includes a removable wooden grate that slides in when you want to contain your pet or leave it out, and your pets can come and go as they please.

Once assembled, my husband and I took a closer look and agreed the TownHaus is a gorgeous piece of furniture with its rich mahogany finish, classic lines and superior craftsmanship. It's heavy, sturdy and built to last.

I recycled an old pillow by covering it with a washable pillow sham and placing it in the bottom of the den. The end table blends in perfectly with our living room furniture where it's found a home next to the couch and near my daily work space. It would also make clever camouflage for kitty's litter box.

While our Great Dane and Lab are too big for the small-size TownHaus, they look-on with green-eyed envy as our kitties lounge blissfully in the luxurious lair. They nap, they spy and play with catnip toys when hanging-out in their haute hotel. They absolutely love it!

Exquisite in both appearance and functionality, the TownHaus is a "hit" in this castle of critters and earns our highest rating!

Available in mahogany or espresso; small, medium, large and extra large; the TownHaus sells for $449.99 to $549.99 and can be purchased on the DenHaus website. Also available for purchase are custom fit cushions with washable outer covers and designer steel slide-in grates with an antique brass finish.
