I got this gate to keep my dog in. He's starting to get big and if he jumps on it just right he can somehow manage to get it open but other then that its a good product. Its easy to assemble and you can open and close it with one hand, which is quite nice.

I have a 10 month old son who is crawling, pulling himself up to stand, and walking while holding onto things. I purchased this gate thinking it would go at the top of the stairs leading to the basement. Unfortunately I didn't measure first and it ended up going at the bottom of the stairs, but it fits perfectly. It was easy to figure out how to set up. We live at my parent's house and I didn't want to permanently screw it to the wall. The pressure mount works well, despite my son tugging and pulling on it. It also opens easily, which is great because that is a very high traffic area. I'm probably going to be buying a few more for the second floor stairs.

I love the gate...have two already, but this one arrived and one of the bars was bent. Aesthetically that is annoying, but I don't want to spend the time and money to ship it back to exchange it. The price is very reasonable. Costs a lot more if you buy a similar item at Babies R Us or Target.

We purchased this model several years ago to keep the pets out of the living room. We like that we keep it up and not have to take it down for us to cross over to the kitchen, due to the swinging door. I am thinking of getting another one to have down in the TV room when we don't want the dogs down there at times. The only thing getting used to is stepping over the bottom, but it will just come naturally once you are used to it. Recommend purchase - for the price.

This is the best gate we have tried. It was easy to install; however, if you are planning to use Y-spindles from One Step Ahead, they will not fit in the openings of this gate. Other than that, we love it. It's easy to open and my 8-year old is able to open and close it by himself very easily too! I can hold the baby on my hip while opening the gate with one hand also. The walk-thru opening could be a little wider, but after trying 4 other gates... this one is great! Love it.

This gate was very easy to put up but make sure you check the measurements bc the gate extender made the gate way too big and it barely works as it. The screws are extended all the way out so it isn't as sturdy as our other gate but stairways are tricky to fit. The handle works by pulling the red button back to expose the end of a white handle that you lift up that pulls back the piece that allows the door to open and close. Requires two hands so it's not easy carrying a two year old. For the price and ability to step through, is good though. We paid twice as much for an easier to open gate.

I bought this gate about a month ago to keep my dog out of the living room. It works really great! It is super sturdy and fit's well in our doorway. The lock is secure so I don't have to worry about her pushing against it and breaking in. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was really tricky to install. Other than that, it is great and I would recommend.

I use this at the bottom of my stairs and it works great. It's not as "smooth" as my $75 gate and the clasp function to keep it closed isn't always the easiest to open one-handed when I'm carrying a sleeping child, but it also means that my daughter can't open it. It's a great product for the money. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very stable. Didn't have to put anything permanent into my walls which I like. I'd buy it again.

I am very impressed with this product. I was worried that it would not me my expectations because it was so cheap. Well it meets all my expectations. So much easier than the other gate we were using. Our four pit bulls have not been able to knock it down or destroy it. Love it.

I bought this gate when we got a new dog. I wanted something that I could put at the bottom of my stairs without putting wholes in anything. Our dog is very small so I needed her not to beable to get threw it. It was great I could put it between the banisters with no problem and the dog cant get threw it. The handle to get it open and closed is very easy to use even my 3 year old uses it. (you can however lock it if you dont want kids to get it open) Overall opinion I was very happy with this product.
