X-ZONE PETDog Playpen, Puppy Cat Play Pen Portable Foldable Indoor/Outdoor Tent Crate Cage, Portable Pet Crate Medium Size Black 33"

I've used these types of playpens to keep our puppies in while we're out of the house and at night until they are housebroken. This one has some advantages. It's larger than most we've had and easily holds a bed, toys, and water dish. It's taller so the bigger puppies (btw we have small dogs) cannot climb or jump out. It's very sturdy and the zippers for the door and top are good quality.It was easy to assemble by inserting 8 rods vertically around the sides.The problem is disassembling it. The rods have 2 sections held together by an elastic string inside so they can be folded in half. When you try to pull them out they come apart and getting the lower section out is about impossible. I finally started pushing them out from the bottom while scrunching up the side material, kind of like getting the drawstring out when it disappears into your gym shorts waistband. But the worst problem is folding it up into the small circle to put it in the carrying bag. I read the directions, which weren't good, and looked at the pictures online. I tried for almost 30 minutes and finally gave up trying to get a pair of large rectangles to collapse into a small circle. I couldn't find a contact for the manufacturer to ask for a video or other help. Now I can't even fold it flat and transport it that way because trying to twist it into the circle has bent the light metal that's the frame inside the material.So if you want a playpen that you'll keep set up then this is a good product. If you want something to break down quickly and take with you there are better options.

If you're like me, you may have gotten this with the idea that it would be nice for travel. And that's true, but you should know that it isn't a super quick assembly. You have to take each rod out to fold it up and then re-insert them. The rods do make it sturdier than some travel options, so it's probably worth it, but if you're going for pure convenience, then this may not be the one for you.I've also noticed that the zipper on the front door gets stuck a bit in a few spots. I'm hoping it doesn't break if I'm gentle with it.But I do like the design, and it didn't stink when I opened it, which is something I always wonder about with products like this. The dog also seems to think it's quite nice and hangs out in there just for fun.

I absolutely love it and so does by baby Egypt(puppy) has enough room for him to play/sleep/eat. Easy to set up and put back away. Great quality! will buy another to have one for home and one for outings!
