The price was so great on this that I ordered 2.  We're using one as a gate to block the top of the stairs off and stretching it across the living room area to keep our Yorkie puppy in the area with us.  We also use it in place of his crate sometimes to give him more play space when we are out.  The other pen is in my home studio to keep him from getting into things, but allowing him to be in the room with me.  If I come up with another use, I might get another one for this price!
