We purchased this a little over a year ago and it has held up quite well. We have a little french bulldog that we keep in it while we are at work and he has done a little damage to the door, chewing, etc. but overall I really am surprised at how well it has kept during this time. We keep it butted up against 2 walls and during the first 6 months we would sometimes come home and find that he had walked it across the room. We then started sitting something heavy against either side of the door and that solved that problem. For what we paid for this pen, I honestly couldn't have asked for it to have worked any better for our situation. It's been a blessing. Wayfair def beat other competitors price for this pen.
