Highlighted Reviews
"I needed a playpen for a kitten that I rescued that had a broken leg, and this was exactly what we needed!"
"This thing is a literal piece of garbage. I tried to unfold it for the first time today to move it and it was so loud and a piece of plastic popped off at the hinge and broke. Also scared my puppy it was so loud and the door is AWFUL. Don’t buy this."
