I just set this up, so if my opinion changes Ill update. As it stands, I LOVE this playpen for my ferrets. I can angle it however I want, and it gives them plenty of play space. They are currently frolicking about in it with gusto. I debated ordering a cheaper playpen, as the price seemed a bit steep but Im glad I went for it. Very pleased. Five stars!
UPDATE March 10, 2015: Well, the awesomeness of this pen was lessened tonight. When my ferrets were done playing, I began to fold it to put it away for the night and two of the connecting metal hooks that hold the panels together just snapped. I ordered this playpen on February 27th; it is now March 10th. Fortunately, s incredible return policy has another pen on the way to me as I return this broken one. I temporarily fixed the panel with zip ties until I receive the new one so that my fur babies are not without a pen. I will update this review if I have any further issues with the craftsmanship of the pen. Still leaving it at five stars with the hopes this was a fluke.
Second Update: January 5, 2016
Well, one of the welds has again snapped. I discovered this because one of my particularly crafty fuzzies climbed up my leg as I was at my desk working when he had been in his pen moments before. I looked and sure enough, there was a broken weld and one of the bars had been nudged aside, granting leeway for escape. Good thing Diglet loves to spend time with me or he might have gone missing. I fixed the bar with a zip tie (I will solder it in the near future) and will take to checking the bars for integrity before letting my fuzzies out to romp. Quite frustrating. I am knocking off a star. I have been wanting a second pen to add on to the first so that I can have a whole ferret proof room, but Im on the fence as to whether I want to give this particular model another try. Ill continue to update this if things go awry further and/or I decide to purchase a second.
My ferrets love it! (Updated as of 1-5-16.)
