It came very quickly and I managed it alone assemble. Was not complicated! My dog does not dare to jump over it but it is a rather anxious Cocker. So rather suitable for small dogs (or cowards!). Larger dogs would probably feel no respect for it. The metal rods give the gGnze a rabbit hutch-like appearance but I got used to it. Narrow wooden stick would have sufficed and would probably look like a baby-grid. All in all I can recommend it. The wood (birch) is beautiful, is almost 2 months since often in the rain outside and looking good.
