This playpen was great for driving with kittens! It fits exactly into the back of my Jeep and they had a bed and blankets and a litter box set up for a long trip. They climbed and clawed but weren't able to escape. Good for keeping them contained inside too! And they liked climbing on it and playing in and around it with the doors and top unzipped too.

I USUALLY DON'T WRITE MANY REVIEWS BUT THIS PEN IS WORKING VERY WELL AND WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH IT, I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT! WE HAVE TWO MINI-SCHNAUZERS AND MY 14 YEAR OLD IS ALMOST BLIND, RUNS INTO THINGS, LOSES HIS BALANCE, FALLS OVER AND CAN'T GET UP, FRAILS AROUND AND HE WAS GETTING HURT IF WE HAD TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND LEAVE HIM IN HIS METAL CRATE.THIS SOFT-SIDE PEN, KEEPS HIM IN A LARGER AREA FOR HIM TO WALK AROUND IN A NICE BIG CIRCLE UNTIL HE GETS TIRED ENOUGH TO GO TO SLEEP IN HIS BED. IF HE RUNS INTO IT WHEN INSIDE IT OR OUTSIDE OF IT, HE AND THE PEN BOUNCE BACK STRONG! IT'S LARGE ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF MY MINI-SCHNAUZERS AND COULD HOLD 2 BEDS SHOULD WE TAKE THEM ON TRIPS AND NEED TO LEAVE THEM TO GO TO DINNER OR SOMETHING. WON'T HAVE TO WORRY THAT THEY WILL MAKE A MESS AND IT FOLDS INTO ITSELF AND HAS A CARRYING CASE IT COMES IN. EASY TO ASSEMBLY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS UNFOLD IT, ZIP THE BOTTOM IN, IT ALSO HAS A ZIP TOP YOU CAN LEAVE IN OR KEEP OFF AND TWO ZIPPERED DOORS. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW USEFUL THIS IS AND HOW WELL IT WORKS FOR SUCH A GREAT PRICE! OUR SENIOR HAS ALREADY MESSED IN IT, AND IT CLEANS UP VERY EASILY TOO. I AM SO TEMPTED TO BUY A SECOND ONE, IN CASE THEY EVER STOP MAKING THEM. IT SEEMS VERY WELL MADE AND SO WELL DESIGNED, YOU CAN TELL AN ANIMAL PERSON DESIGNED IT! IT IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN IT'S PRICE TAG, STURDY, WASHABLE, LOOKS REALLY COMFORTABLE, EASY TO SET UP, TAKE DOWN, OR LEAVE UP ALL THE TIME LIKE WE DO. WE BOUGHT THE BLACK ONE AND IT LOOKS GREAT TOO! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS PRODUCT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! WOULD RECOMMEND TO MY FRIENDS AND WOULD BUY IT AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT! THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!!

Everyone in our home LOVES this play pen, especially our 2 ferrets! In the attached picture, they're napping after a particularly rambunctious play session! It's easy to setup anywhere, PLENTY of room to play, easy to clean and easy to fold up and store! For those having a hard time folding it up again, just bend it into an M shape and it will fold flat with no problems! Start with the panel to the right of the panel with the strap and fold it inwards up and to the left. Then fold the third panel to the left of the strap inwards down and to the right of the first fold. Lastly, fold the bottom panel at the far right inwards up and to the left, which puts the last fold to the right of the second fold. This will make an M shape and then the pen will fold flat and you can store it. I really hope this helps because it looks like that was the biggest complaint about this product. The instructions can be confusing at first, but after I consulted them for the first 2 times I folded the pen, I pretty much had it down after that! I don't even look at the instructions anymore. This pen is a great way to get our ferrets out for play time and to be able to take them out and about with us. We're using it to take them to a cookout today! Once they're done playing they may start to dig and chew at it because they're bored, but it's held up to their abuse. No damage at all!

One of my three cats is a large male who loves people but also has a tendency to scratch them when he tires of their attention. I bought this playpen so he can be around visitors without causing bodily injury. But in reality it has been useful for so much more...we also use it for a sort of "time out" (which probably sounds nicer than "cat jail") if one of the cats is getting overly pesky (usually our male cat who, in addition to scratching visitors, also purposely knocks things off counters, bookcases and fireplace mantles if he is not getting enough attention), if I need to perform a task sans feline (usually paperwork AKA their favorite place to sit on top of) or if a workman is coming over and I don't want to worry about the cats escaping through an open door. The cats much prefer hanging out in their little playpen in these situations than being trapped in the basement.Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "little" --- this thing is huge (I guess I couldn't visualize the measurements when I ordered -- could have easily gotten away with the next smaller size -- it does take up the majority of our family room floor's free space.) There is more than enough room inside for three adult cats to hang out in together. In fact, it's big enough for an adult to crawl inside and curl up (not that I would have actually tried that)(recently.)It was very easy to set up, although the zipper on top on mine does get hung up in one spot where the seam must extend out a little bit too much. But I can wiggle it past there without too much effort. The zippers on the doors work very well and quickly so if I need to I can imprison my darling kitties before they even think to try and escape.On the topic of zippers: One of the reasons that I picked this particular playpen is that the bottom is zippered on (not velcro-ed or sewn on.) I know for a fact that my little darlings would easily escape an enclosure if the bottom were simply attached by velcro, but I wanted the option to unzip the bottom for cleaning when the inevitable hairball is deposited on it.I can't speak to the folding-up process as I have not collapsed this playpen since it arrived more than a month ago. The majority of the time, we leave the door(s) open (rolled up) and the cats just go in there to chill on their own. I threw in some of those old towels that don't ever seem to not smell a little musty and it immediately became their favorite place to take naps in (is it just my cats, or do all cats love those stinky-ish towels?)Overall, I am very impressed with the sturdiness of the structure. The mesh is plasticized (or similar process) and is very heavy duty/rugged. Our big ole male has hooked his claws into the mesh door and pulled/pushed on it with his considerable body weight and it wasn't stretched, torn or snagged. The metal framework is also substantial and not a bit flimsy. The fabric is thick and canvas-like.It is rare that a product not only meets but exceeds your expectations, but this ToysOpoly Pet Playpen certainly does.
