I purchased this not long ago with the intent to use outside of house but when I assembled it I actually found it came in handy inside too. I have six dogs and if I need to go to store or anything two or three of my big kids fit in here with their beds and toys. I leave the door open also when I'm gone and they just like to chill in there they go in on their own. Which is far different than the usual crate experience. I was pleasantly surprised with this Bc a lot of things I've purchased in the past were sub par but I'd actually love to get another one when price goes down a bit!I put it together in less than a half hour by myself so assembly was super easy as well!
