Good, better, best: Dog crates that are also great side tables

There’s no denying that pet parenthood comes with a lot, and we mean a lot, of changes in your home. Especially if you’re crate training your dog, you’ll need a dedicated space to belong to your pet — toys, food, bed, and all. But now, decorating for your dog is a whole lot cuter. Dog crate side tables are here to change the game.

With a dog crate table that has multiple functions, you’ll use (and save) space like never before. Even if you use the tabletop for decoration rather than storage, it’ll add a stylish flair to your bedroom or living room. Here are a few of our favorites:
