Looks alot nicer, is sturdier than the cheaper wooden gate we bought first. Wish I had known of this one sooner. Works great at bottom of steps and even some adults can't figure out the latch, very safe. So far 15 month old climber hasn't figured out how to get over it!

I had the low priced wood with platic mesh gates that worked well, but I had to hop over them, adn sometimes that can be a hazzard. THe dogs would chew oon there, too and I would have to replace them. This gate is sturdy metal and has an easy to operate gate. It is also low enough for my cats to jump over, but not my small dogs. Great gate and inexpensive.

I've had this gate up for a few months before I reviewed it so that I could see if it would be durable enough. So far it hasn't budged and I did not have to use the cups. I put it up in my daughters' room when we transitioned her to a bed so she wouldn't be all over the house before we were up or if she didn't want to sleep. She climbed over or pulled down all the other pressure mounted gates we tried but not this one! Also my five year old who shares her room can open it with ease but the little one so far cannot. It was a relief not to have to spend a fortune on something that actually works well and doesn't ruin the woodwork. I would probably not use this on stairs though, only because of the bar across the bottom. No body has tripped on it yet but I wouldn't want to take the chance at the top of the stairs. All in all a great product from a great brand.

I love this gate! I have a gate on nearly every door in my home because my 15 month old loves to explore. I only have one like this and use it on the front door so I can have the door open to watch the older kids (ages 4-8) get on/off the bus, air out the house, etc. The older kids can get in and out of it with ease but the babies can't. It fits so you can leave it up and still close the door so we don't have to keep installing/uninstalling it. The only downside is that it makes the doorway opening smaller to get through so it is difficult to carry all the groceries in at one time.

Our infant daughter just started crawling, so we needed a gate for the 35" span at the top of a half-flight of stairs. This gate works great for our application, and the price can't be beat. Installation was easy. I would definitely buy this gate again.

We thought we would have to have the adapter for this gate because we have a staircase that curves and has molding which makes contact uneven for the gate. We put the gate at a slant and the screws are adjustable on all four sides so it enables the gate to fit easily. It is extremely sturdy and very nice looking.

I bought this product for my new puppy. It is wonderful & has been perfect because it is easy to use & I don't have to take the whole thing down everytime I walk through. The door is great. The only thing that I thought was a little confusing was the set up. When we got the product some of the parts that were preassembled were on backwards so we had to take them off & reassemble them. Wasn't a big deal at all--set up took about 20 minutes & we haven't had any problems with the gate. Great buy for the price.

The purpose for my purchasing this gate was to keep our Lab from certain parts of the house. It's so much easier having a gate that opens and closes vs. the typical baby gate you have to remove and/or step over. The quality and price of this gate are great!! I would highly recommend this for use with children.....no sharp edges, very stable, would be very hard for them to get the gate unlocked. Height of gate is excellent!!!! I'd give this gate an A+++

the gate only opens one way...so if you tend to forget that the entire gate will come down! Bought it to keep the little one off the kitchen as she is able be pretty creative and climb into places really fast...well...after a few hours of putting the gate into place she was able to open and close the gate one handed...better than the adults. SO I DISCOURAGE YOU FROM GETTING THIS GATE! Wish I would have gotten a different one.

I really like the gate but I have two small issues, I wish the swinging part of the gate was a bit wider and I wish it would swing open in both directions but overall we are happy with it. Also make sure to use the anchor cups that come with it, trying to use it strictly as a compression gate doesn't work so well because of the hard plastic material the "feet" are made of.
