70.9in Dual Wooden Dog Crate Console with Drawers

A dual-dog crate that also works as furniture can solve two common problems at once: giving dogs a secure resting space while keeping the living room functional and tidy. This 70.9″ wooden dog crate furniture piece combines two kennel spaces with storage drawers and a TV-stand-style top, designed to blend into everyday rooms rather than look like a temporary pet setup.

What This Crate Furniture Is Designed to Do

Create two separate resting spaces in one footprint for households with multiple dogs.
Replace or supplement a media console with a flat top suitable for décor and TV-stand use (confirm TV size/weight with the product details).
Add concealed storage via drawers for leashes, treats, grooming tools, and training supplies.
Support calm routines by giving each dog a consistent “place” without taking over the room visually.

Key Features to Look For in a Dual-Dog Crate Console

Overall length and internal space: ensure each dog can stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
Divider and door layout: separate access for each dog can reduce crowding and resource guarding.
Heavy-duty build: prioritize sturdy joinery and secure latches, especially for determined chewers or anxious dogs.
Drawer practicality: smooth operation, enough depth for bulky items, and placement that doesn’t interfere with doors.
Top surface use: plan cord routing, ventilation around electronics, and safe spacing from dog activity below.
Finish and cleanability: sealed surfaces wipe down more easily after muddy paws and shedding.

Size, Room Placement, and Daily Use Setup

Because a 70.9″ console has a bigger visual presence than a single wire crate, placement matters as much as sizing. Start by measuring the wall where you want it to live and confirm you have enough clearance for each door to swing open without hitting a sofa, coffee table, or baseboard heater.

Measure the intended wall space and leave clearance for doors to swing open without hitting furniture.
Plan a calm location away from heavy foot traffic, direct heat vents, or constant window stimulation.
Use non-slip mats or a thin crate pad sized to each side; avoid thick bedding that can block airflow or catch in doors.
Keep drawers stocked with essentials so the crate becomes a consistent routine station (walk gear, wipes, enrichment items).
If using as a TV stand, keep liquids and fragile décor toward the back and use cable management to prevent chewing risks.

Comfort and Training Tips for a Smooth Transition

A furniture-style crate can feel more “den-like” than an open wire setup, but the transition still goes best when it’s introduced with patience and consistency. For step-by-step guidance from trusted animal welfare organizations, review the American Kennel Club’s crate training overview and the Humane Society’s crate training basics.

Introduce the crate gradually: door open, treats inside, and short positive sessions before closing the door.
Feed occasional meals or high-value chews inside to build a positive association (only with safe chew choices).
Avoid using the crate as punishment; it should remain a predictable, calm space.
For two dogs, build separate positive routines for each side to prevent competition at the doors.
Establish a consistent “crate cue” and keep session lengths appropriate for age, health, and housetraining stage.

Safety, Cleaning, and Maintenance

With a dual unit, you’ll get the best long-term results by treating it like real furniture: stable placement, regular hardware checks, and quick cleanups before grime becomes a finish problem.

FAQ

Can two dogs share a double dog crate furniture unit safely?

They can, as long as each dog has its own separate side and the dogs’ sizes and temperaments are a good fit for side-by-side confinement. Introduce the setup with supervision and build independent routines so neither dog feels pressured at the doors; some dogs still do best in completely separate crates.

Is it safe to use a dog crate console as a TV stand?

It can be safe if you follow the product’s weight limits, keep the unit stable (and anchored if the manufacturer recommends it), and route cables so they’re out of reach. Allow ventilation for electronics and position the TV so normal dog movement below won’t bump the screen or cords.

How do you measure a dog for the right crate size?

Measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, then measure from the floor to the top of the head while your dog is standing naturally. Choose a crate size that adds a bit of clearance for standing and turning comfortably, and measure each dog individually when selecting a dual unit.
