We have previously reviewed a few Maelson Products and spoke about the first-cass Maelson Customer Service.
Even after 3 years, we are still very pleased with all of the products and they are in permanent use.
Great, high quality and handy products for dogs which are thought through and will last long.

Review: I really like the Maelson Snuggle Kennel. It is easy to assemble and after figuring out how to attach the first part of the zipper, it is rather quick to fully assemble.
I really like all the little extras such as the top handle, the side panel apertures and the magnet opening of the door.
The Snuggle Kennel also looks very modern. I also really like hte colour as it is modest, simple and timeless.
Most of all, I like that the Snuggle Kennel is very sturdy and naturally keeps its form. This is because I don't like when transport carriers are dented or sag.
Also, all the mesh windows are very sturdy. The Snuggle Kennel looks very high quality and this is also apparent. 
Rocky immediately felt comfortable in the Kennel.
I do however have a bit of a concern about the zipper-assembly. I am someone who easily breaks zippers and I therefore fear that the Snuggle Kennel won't last too long with me. I hope that this won't be confirmed. In regards to my concern, Maelson have assured me that the zippers have been pre-tested for stability and only sturdy, hard-wearing zippers were used. So they should last/ work for a long time.
Furthermore, I wish that the plush inner cushion would be thinner as it takes quite a bit of height/ space away within the interior.
I do like however, that the plush inner cushion is removable and washable.
Overall, I think that the Maelson Snuggle Kennel is great. It is of high quality, easy to carry, is well usable in daily life and the security of the pet was considered.
