The shipping was fast. The box says 30 minutes to set up which I found a little misleading but if you look closely it says the frame takes 30 minutes to set up which is correct. It wasn't really that hard with my wife and 10 year old grandson helping. Actually took about 1.5 hours. We followed all the directions and the kennel is really well made and I feel safe leaving the big gal lute in it when we go to town. I actually used all 50 of the soft metal ties to secure the chain link to the frame for added security. A really good kennel for a fair price. I would buy it again.
