When it comes to pens, crates and carriers, I've always migrated towards the cheapest available option. After all - its just wire mesh bars, right? Well after seeing this pen, I'm thinking maybe not...
My mother recently got a puppy, and we needed to set up a pen in her shared courtyard. Because the space is visible to the neighbors and regulated by the community association, we "took a shot" on something a bit more expensive, which looked nice in the photo. After receiving it, all I can say is - the photo doesn't do it justice. For the extra $20 or $30 over the cost of a basic same-size pen, this comes in a finished and rounded metal which looks elegant (yes, I just used that word to describe a dog pen haha). Once set up in the yard, I can honestly say it *enhanced* the look of her yard (OK - so it's not a really nice yard.. but still... it looked better with the pen in it!)
Setup was a breeze. The pen comes with a bunch of panels (8x2 foot panels I think) and each has interlocking metal protrusions (sort of like hinges), higher on one side than the other. This means that it's very easy to see which way each panel fits with the one next to it. A long, thin metal stake latches each panel together (think of a 5 foot tall shish kabob skewer with a decorative hook on the end). You can drive the stake into soft ground (i.e. grass) or just let it settle on top of hard ground (i.e. concrete). Either way, the pen is quite secure. The stakes slide through the interlocking 'hinges' with no resistance - the whole setup takes 5 to 10 minutes moving at a comfortably lazy pace :p
There is a gate in the front of the pen with two crate-like latches, and the whole setup can be shifted and moved into a plethora of configurations - octagon, square, rectangle, or some wonky shape which only looks good to you :)
Bottom line: I love the pen (if you can't tell) and think it's well worth the $65-$70. (And this is coming from someone who was upset when the $0.99 menus went up to $1.29!)

Chicken Brooder
Ordered to keep my chicks in until ready to go outside in chicken coop. Attached cardboard to each panel (with tie wraps) because chicks could get through the slots. Placed cardboard boxes then heavy plastic on bottom before putting a few inches of wood chips in. Chicks have lots of room to run around. I used only six of the eigth panels. Sides of "brooder" can extend out as chickens grow. I made sure plastic under is large enough for extention. Lay piece of hardware cloth on top as chicks like to fly and I don't want an accidents or escapes. Overall very happy I went with this product. Chicks outgrow plastic bins in 10 days.

I've been shopping for a while for a gate to span the 96" doorway connecting our living room to the dining area in anticipation of bringing home a new puppy (I don't want to replace my couch like I did last time!). All the gates were either too narrow, too short, too flimsy, or TOO EXPENSIVE! I took a chance on using this one inside and it is great (see pic, although it is moved for cleaning)! I replaced the long metal skewers that join the segments (yes, they come apart and you can use only as many as you need. I'm using 5/8 right now) with bolts and put some felt strips on the bottom and it is ready to go! We will attach each end to the wall with small carabiners. Some people have asked about the finish. It isn't raw metal that's like a chalkboard if you scratch it. It has a shiny finish. I've attached a pic that shows the finish. The walk-thru door is a little narrow for humans, but it works. I think I will probably buy another. This is a great pen (much more durable than the midwest ones I use to block off my garden from the chickens).
Great Quality, Weight, Flexibility, AND PRICE

This has been the best solution for our two puppy mill rescue dogs, who were not ready for the "big back yard". We live on an acre of land, which is fenced in, but our puppy mill rescues were terrified of all that space to begin with. The exercise pen provided them with a safe, confined area to do their business in. We like it so much, we bought another and expanded their area. Then another....because we realized that we could completely surround our patio area to provide them with an easy access, safe place to go potty that allowed us to let them out the door and let them back in, without having to bring them TO an area to go potty.
They are now fully acclimated to the yard but we still have our enclosure in place because it is so convenient and it also provides added protection for them in the dark, from potential predators.
I would absolutely recommend this product - easy to assemble and take apart, built to last and it's doing just fine in a MidWest Winter.
