The exact main reason I bought this was because the desceiption had me under the impression the divider was removable, so I could provide my dog ample space alone but could add the divider when we are dog sitting another small dog. If I hadn't spent an entire day trying to build this by myself, and it wasn't so heavy, I 100% would have returned for a different crate with more space for one dog. All this is useful for us now is as a piece of furniture and a place that just barely fits my small/medium sized dogs bed. I cannot crate him in this when I leave because there is not enough room for a dog bowl for water and a dog to fit together on one side.
Apart from my disappointment, it is a cute piece of furniture and looks nice. seems to be decently strong material, but keep in mind, one side of the divider is smaller then the other and just barely will not fit a small waterproof protective tray ao it is better suited for storage.
