Highlighted Reviews
"Works to keep my dogs in the back where I want them. Wont stop a determined pup but is a good deterrent for ones who already kinda know the ropes. Easy to see through and store too"
"The barrier is a waste of money and has cheap materials. The top is bent from the dog leaning on it and one of the plastic rods has fallen off."
Bottom Line
Current situation motivates me to really consider alternatives, if durability is a priority!
