Our take on this model
At $169.99, D02-263V02BK is $1.00 above the $168.99 median of 9 wire & metal dog crates in this catalog snapshot. The measurement and access details below are more useful for checking suitability than the headline price alone. Its listed exterior footprint is approximately 17.11 sq ft; leave extra working clearance and check the separate interior measurements.

Model-specific decision notes
The trade-offs for D02-263V02BK.
The space this model takes
The listed exterior size is 83.5" L x 29.5" W x 27.6" H. Its first two measurements imply an approximate rectangular footprint of 17.11 sq ft, before door swing or working clearance. This is a placement estimate, not usable pet floor area or an animal-capacity recommendation.
A practical moving check
D02-263V02BK lists an item weight of 54 lbs. Decide whether it can remain in its assembled position or needs moving for cleaning. A larger fixed installation may be convenient in use but awkward to relocate.
Access can be the limiting dimension
This model lists Door Size: 21.3" W x 25.6" H. Check this opening separately from the whole unit: it may govern pet entry, tray removal or the tools you can use for cleaning. The opening does not establish the interior resting area.
Footprint estimates use the first two listed exterior dimensions in inches, divided by 144. They exclude clearance and do not represent usable animal floor area. Comparisons favor nearby prices and similar exterior footprints within this collection.

Buying considerations
Is it right for your routine?
What to prioritize
Wire crates offer visibility and airflow, while dividers can make one crate useful as a puppy grows. Look closely at latch placement, base tray access and wire spacing.
What to check before ordering
Size for standing, turning and lying down without excessive unused space. Add a correctly fitted mat and never use a crate as punishment; crate training works best through short, positive sessions.
