This playpen is exactly what I was looking for! Aesthetically pleasing, sturdy, and easy to put together. The wood is bare but sanded smooth and I have no concerns about baby getting splinters while grabbing the bars (which he does often). Plenty of room to play but confined enough to stay safe. There is another playpen out there that’s similar but with dark blue plastic connectors, and I was very happy to find this one with the white plastic. It’s a small detail but made the difference for me in wanting to purchase this one. Highly recommend all around!
