"Very light weight, using for indoors for a 8-week-old Labrador puppy. Easy & quick assembly & breakdown for moving around and sturdy materials. Gate opening easy to open for human, not dog. Nice to have a spot for a pile of toys for independent puppy play and not be stuck in the crate."

— henry

"Arrived rusted in several areas, paint chipped off, and completely filthy. We were desperate for the play pen to separate our dogs for safety."

Bottom Line

This pen is a good choice for those looking for a sturdy, portable playpen for their dogs. However, be cautious of durability issues reported by some users.
