What a beautiful piece of furniture.  My frenchie is an escape artist, we tried the playpen but she could climb out, we tried the zip up playpen, but she could roll it everywhere.  We needed something bigger then her sleeping crate because she has 3 days a week where she is alone for 5 to 7 hrs and her sleeping crate is just too small for that long of a day.  Its very sturdy and took about 2 hrs to assembly for two of us.  Beautiful.
