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

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.
