"I just came to chewy to order another and saw the poor reviews."

"This is the worst design I have ever seen. It has no tray folds in half leaving only 16 inches for the dog to pee on and an crack to walk on. So glad Chewy stands behind their stuff. I would not even donate this."

For users willing to work around the design flaws and provide additional support, this product can be a functional solution. However, for those seeking a more robust and long-lasting option, it might be worth exploring other alternatives before making a purchase.
