Whoa!  That is expensive.  They have that same exact crate at Walmart 
and Target for around $25.  I too, looked at buying one, but even the 
extra large isn't big enough for Monty.  He's around 27 inches tall and 
this crate was 24 tall if I'm remembering correctly.  I wish they made a 
XXL size because I've heard good things about this crate and the price 
is right.
