Could use improvements
Once set up it does a fine job and the price is realistic and it is not too heavy. There are plenty of air holes without rendering the panels flimsy. I like that it came with an optional steel reinforced door at no additional cost. I could not find another hard plastic crate for a 30# dog that folded flat for travel. The carrier, however, is difficult to set up - it takes one hand to hold the top up, another one to reach in and grab the panels and another one to provide resistance so the panels snap into place. Collapsing it is similarly cumbersome. Once folded flat it is awkward to carry as the top and bottom panels do not snap into one another - it comes with a flimsy velco strap which, if positioned in the middle, sort of works, but I had to buy two cinch straps. Once folded it can only be carried by it's handle so you are carrying a horizontally flat package, not a vertically flat package - again awkward.

Almost as good as the previous version
In general, the Nylabone fold away den is great. I found the newer model to be less convenient as far as putting it together and breaking it down. Plus, the front gate is plastic, whereas the previous version was metal. This model did come with a "heavy duty" door with reinforced metal, but it is tighter to open and close. I liked the older model better. But this one is still pretty good since it looks and feels like a "den" and not a fence, like the typical crates.

Excellent crate/home for 8 month old Shitzu
Our dog just loves his new sleeping quarters. He does not complain or whine when he is put to bed at different intervals. It is an excellent, lightweight home away from home also when we take him on road trips. It is very durable, showing no marks that he has attempted to chew it, for he is a heavy chewer of things otherwise.
