Does the plastic floor crack frequently?

I've seen used ones with cracks. Not sure of the brands tho. I'm the 3rd owner of my 1st Precision crate and it's good as new. No cracks. Nothing. I've used it now for 6 years. My 2nd precision crate for my second dog seems just as durable. I bought it new last year and have zero complaints. After using the double locking features on a precision crate, I could never use another brand. They just seem flimsy. :-)

I have two of these crates and neither floor has cracked. Although, I have only had these crates for about 3-4 months, so I suppose it is possible in the future. I also put crate beds on top of the plastic. When they collapse, the plastic is folded into the wire parts, so the plastic bottom is protected when you move around the crate reducing risk of cracking it when moving around.

Did not see any bad reviews for the floor. It is rubbery plastic, the type that seems to hold up. I would expect good service as long as it is not subjected to constant freezing temps. That may make a difference. We use a dog bed (cushion) but the plastic floor reassures us that accidents will not easily end up on the floor. Our Boxer loves it. We leave the doors open and he goes in when tired for a nap. If we leave the house we tell him to go lay down and then close the doors. He does not fuss since he prefers to sleep when no one is around anyway! Keeps him out of trouble.

Mine has not. The liner does seem a little 'thinner' then another crate we have had for several years, but regardless the liner has not cracked at all.

No cracking at all. The longer we have this crate the more I love it. We collapse and move it a few times per month and it's holding up perfectly. It took me a few times of collapsing it before I could easily do it. Highly recommend spending a few more bucks to get this 2 door model since depending where you put it you need the door on the other side. We cover 3 sides of it with a sheet and leave the door open and the dog likes to just go in and hang out.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

Nope. It hasn't since I bought it last year in the summer. And we travel with it too.

I have not had any issues. The rubberized feet rested nicely and there was no sliding or slippage on the floor.

If it's the plastic part, the manufacture has replacement parts. If it's the stainless steel, it should not have stress crack, but if it does, I have not seen a replacement part for it. Sorry.

Yes, there is a plastic, kind of hard rubber ring, in the base to protect the floors

No, but the quality, in my opinion, is even better. I had an original one for a year with a bunch of cracks by the end, I've had this for 6 months...no cracks

Yes, it has a plastic floor, sturdy enough for my 13 pound fox terrier mix.

No - I use it on my wood floors and it does not scratch them..the plastic "wheels" seem to go over the floors just fine.

No. We always make sure that it is on solid level flooring. My two grandkids love it.

it's hard plastic, and has not cracked yet. I am cautious when i place it in the tub for cleaning, and when vacuuming around it. as long as it arrives intact, you should be good to go.

I have hardwood floors throughout my home and I have not had any problems with the wheels marring the floors. The wheels are not a soft spongy rubber, but a nice smooth plastic that should not harm your floors.

Yes, this tile have a smooth surface. It will crack if you use it on a bar, and countertops.

We've had this in the AZ sun since 2010. The only crack occured when my 150 lb son stood on the plastic base fooling around. This crack on the top of the base has not compromised the base i.e. leaking of water. It gets mightly windy here at times and this unit doesn't budge. I did pour a small concrete slab when we purchased to give it a nice footing.

Yes. The one I currently is cracked in one of the corners. Depending on the cost.

The floor is very thick and is holding up well. The sides are obviously thinner but they are holding up well also. For the price paid (Amazon lightening deal), it was worth the money. The size is also really good and I wouldn't recommend going smaller unless you just don't have the space for it.

The base seems to be basic plastic with adequate thickness ... no cracks so far!

I doubt it will scratch the floor since there is a plastic protection ring on the bottom. I assume its there for a reason.

I would call a flooring expert on that one, mine went through a laminate floor so it wasn't an issue. Personally I would say that it would crack it, they may have to reinforce it somehow.
