This item arrived on time and in decent packaging. The assembly directions are terrible. It is not clear how this item is to be properly assembled at all. But after some trail and error we were able to get this together. It takes a minimum of two people. Since the top portion is so long and folds awkwardly if not being stabilized by more hands. This item is not very sturdy but it does the trick for small animals. I would not recommend this item to prevent larger prey driven dogs away from small pets. It is not secure enough for this. It is good for those needing a decent/temporary outdoor enclosure for small animals. I'm using it for baby ducklings. It gives them enclosed outdoor space and helps seperate them from larger pets. But cannot withstand an actual large predator attack. It's ok for the price.
