We really like the looks and the practicality of this product for travel. It folds up neatly and comes with a nice carrying case. When we first opened it, the initial smell was that of a plastic raincoat. After a few days, the smell dissipated. We bought a 36 inch round, burgundy color, rubber-backed bath rug to put into the center. 

This is for our Shih-Tzu rescue dog named Beau weighting a plump 16 pounds and needs to go on a diet.  The top mesh zips on and off easily. We look forward to some short trip where we intend to take Beau with us. Personally, I think this design is great if you need to go out for a few hours but don't want to put him into jail-i.e., a crate. But we intend to spoil Beau. He is about eight years old and is missing over half of his teeth. He is a tough little guy and well behaved. 

There are two mesh doors on this little hotel, and Beau seems to like it, so we are happy campers :):). Got to give it five stars!
