I have ordered one of these crates.  When it came, it had a note in it saying that they had over committed and so a completely different crate was substituted.  I compared what was supposed to be in the original crate to what I received and actually liked the one I received better.  But in saying that, I feel I should have been notified and given the chance to approve or reject the substitution.  I agree they are well packaged.
