The door on this gate swings both ways. As this is used at the top of a staircase which is used quite a bit this is beneficial. My only complaint is that the metal isn't as strong as I would have liked but my grandson has tried pulling on the gate and it does it's job.

I was a bit skeptical and didn't want to spend close to $40 on a gate but now that I have it, I know it was totally worth the money. It's very convenient and sturdy. I love this gate. It's way better than the $12 wood ones that I have purchased in the past. My cat can get through it but my daughter and puppy can't. Exactly what we needed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about purchasing a gate for any reason.

Hi, I got the gate yesterday to keep my two year old out of the kitchen. Pros: The gate is easy to put up, very sturdy, and I don't think he will figure out how to unlock it for awhile. Cons: the opening to walk thru is a little narrow and the bar at the bottom has caused some family member's to trip because they had forgot it was there. Also, I would say it is for ages 0-3yrs old depending on the child. After watching us a couple of times my 4yr old niece has figured out how to unlock it. Also my two year can open it if its not locked completely. So to insure that your little one will not get in or out make sure you hear the "click" to know that its locked. Overall good gate but it has only been 24hrs.

Easy to assemble and works good on the stairs for a 1 year old. Although, have to use the last step for the bottom part of the gate which makes it hard to use that step. When baby gets stronger he may be able to push the gate. Will work better at the top of the stairs.

While similar gates run over $40, this was a bargain at $29. Pressure mounting eliminates the need to drill holes. However, this gate seems best suited as a pet gate (which I am using it as) rather than a child gate as it will slide along the wall with enough force. Installation was a breeze (less than 5 minutes to adjust). Also note that this gate only swings open in one direction which is fine for me.

we bought 2 of these gates for a new puppy and they are perfect and really easy to use. One we are using as is and the other one we need the extention which came with it. We used the pressure system on them no screwing into the walls and the gate is really easy to open and close. Working out great!

Just because this gate is affordable doesn't mean it's cheaply made. I received this gate as a gift (I told the giver what I wanted), and love it! My strong-man of a 1yr old still has not gotten through it. He pushes, pulls, and rattles the heck out of it and it still stands. It even keeps my 130lbs doberman out! I used the wall mount cups as well, since they give more grip. I do recommend that you check the gate weekly (like the manufacturer says), since regular use *can* loosen it. In all, I love this gate so much, I'm going to be getting a third one this week. Definitely a good buy!

The gate works perfect, it has the option of closing it or latching it to lock it, My two year old can open it when its not locked in, so having that extra is always good. No holes in the wall and its extremely sturdy. Only gripe is the entrance is a bit narrow but unless ur a very wide individual, no disrepect intended, it should suite your needs just fine. I am definetely goin to get a another one.

This gate was awesome I have owned two First one lasted 5 years no issues other then going through the wall in our home (My fault) LOL. BTW my first one is still going strong. My second one I noticed was lighter then the first and it lasted only 1 1/2 years. The metal its self is coming apart where it was welded together. I'm disappointed because my son is only one and now we have to buy ANOTHER gate for just a few more months. Still a great gate and will buy another but I might look at another brand this time. We used this one for the kitchen so it is a high traffic area but then so was our last gate and I just assumed this gate would last a few years and it didn't.

I purchased the gate to keep my cornish rex cats out of my daughters bedroom. We found out she is allergic to her beloved cats so we keep them out of her sleeping area because she cannot depart with them completely. The gate is great except our littlest cat is very small ( a runt) and he can slip through the bars just at the gate opening so my husband rigged the extra extension bar that came with it in the space and he can't get through now. Great item for the money. My daughter is 6 yrs old and has no trouble with the gate and it looks nice we got the white one.
