Cubes ate much more durable! They are using stronger material enclosing the wires.

Setup for this item is fairly easy, though you have to be careful as the zipper quality is less than ideal. I had more then one zipper go off track, and in one case this cause one of the teeth to tear off, making a stuck point on the track. It comes with directions to fold up, but good luck following them. My wife and I spent the better part of 15 minutes trying to get this back to its original shape so it would fit back into the original packaging before we finally gave up. While it is of a decent size for multiple cats, for the most part they ignored this item. The toy that comes with is great, that would easily get a 5 star if it was its own item. The only real use I can picture this for is not a tunnel buy as a kitten cage for trapping strays. Alas, I don't consider this portable enough to even be useful for that purpose.

I got this as a back up playpen for the tiny kittens I foster and from the photos I expected something quite small, but figured having two rooms that attached to each other would it very valuable. What is I got is larger than the pictures made it appear. Note my two eight month-old kittens (8&9 lbs respectively) have a reasonable amount of space inside. The rooms, one square and one trapezoid can be used independently or zipped connected via a short tunnel, built-in tunnel (2-3"). There are doors on four sides of the cube and all can be open or closed as desired. The way the zippers are arranged you could connect more than one room to the cube. The cube is all netting, and the doors zip in very firmly without too much fuss. The zippers seem to be pretty good quality. The trapezoid has a cloth roof and floor and netting doors and windows, but the cloth and the seams all feel reasonably sturdy. Likewise, the netting is well stitched and feels quite strong. The only issue I've seen is you need to be careful if you fold the rooms flat. I did, then came back to take more pictures and it's been a challenge getting the fully unfolded, particularly the trapezoid so be careful

My cats are enjoying there tent/playpen and it was really easy to set it up and it's sturdy I have a boy cat who likes to jump on top of it when another cat is in it and it just pops right back in place although I do stop him from doing it if I'm right there because they had another tent when they were kittens and destroyed it by jumping on top of it this tent is much better quality right now we have it set up in there room but plan on using it outside when the weather warms up it's portable and easy to move around it's also a good size for any size cat my really big cat sleeps in it comfortably and small dogs should fit but I don't recommend it for bigger dogs overall it's a good value my cat's and I recommend it

The solid fabric half of the house is fantastic. It works as intended and my cats love hanging out in it. Five stars for that.Unfortunately, the mesh half kept collapsing on itself--once with a cat inside, which he did not enjoy. I tried to manipulate the wire supports (the same kind as you find in an expanding car sunshade), thinking maybe I did something wrong, but came to the conclusion that the fault was in the product, not me. Eventually, I threw it away. 0 stars for that.So this should be 2 1/2 stars. Maybe I got a lemon.
