I would have to say this is almost the perfect gate. It's nice looking, sturdy, and worry free. We purchased it for the top of the stairs as a permanent fixture. We have an open staircase a crawling grandchildren. There is however one little flaw. The opening of the gate is rather small and makes it nearly impossible to take anything up or down the stairs that you can't raise over your head. Most men would have difficulty getting through the opening without turning sideways. Additionally I find it odd that not one company lists the dimensions of the opening on any of these products.

I purchased 2 gates a couple of years ago to keep our four dogs contained, especially our shepard who went right over the previous gates we had -- extra tall works very well and can be opened with ONE HAND, even when in the locked position. Rubber cup is screwed [attached] to the inside of the door frame and the receiving cup is adjusted by a cup with a screw coming out of the gate.

I bought this gate because it was over sized in height, little did I know it was over sized in width as well. It didn't fit in the doorway that we intended to put it in. It said the largest it would get but failed to mention the smallest. The latch doesn't seem very sturdy either. It also came with a dent in the bottom so that it sits a little crooked, it does the proper job though.

Great pet gate to keep my 2 cats and 2 dogs in my room. Because I don't want my pets to wander all over the house. Got the extra tall feature to keep my 2 big cats (11 and 16 lbs) from jumping over the gate. It's been working great! It was very easy to put up, no installation required. Only complain was took a long time to receive the product (3weeks).

The Regalo - Extra Tall (walk thru) metal gate ... was simple to install and remove. Since it fits doorways up to 39-inches wide I've enjoyed the flexibility of moving it from one doorway to another, depending upon where I need to contain my pets. The walk thru gate is easy to open & close.

I bought this gate to contain my 3 dogs, terrier, pom, and standard poodle. It works perfectly and is tall enough to keep the pom from jumping into the next room. Assembly was nearly too simple and at first I wondered if I had done it correctly. The gate's been up for two weeks now and I have no regrets (but the dogs might think otherwise).

Our doorways are 36". The gate fit but was too loose without using the permanent mounting hardware. We were hoping the pressure mounting option would work, but unfortunately due to the size of our doorways, it didn't. Otherwise, it was very easy to install. We returned them and got plastic pressure mount gates that we can just step over.

Finally, someone designed a gate with small children and pets in mind! I purchassed this gate to keep my puppy in one section of the house. She was able to either climb or jump over every other type gate we purchased, plus my children felt trapped from her. If they wanted to play with her I had to carry them over the other gates and then take them out when they were through. This is designed so that it is easy enough for them to open and close the doorway themselves, BUT it does have a locking mechanism so that I can keep my 3 year old from playing with it as well. I can't say enough positive things about the height and verticle desgin of the bars. I no longer have to worry about my children or pets getting hurt trying to climb over! The tension bars were a bit tricky to figure out, but once you realize how they work, they secure to the wall perfectly. This product is a great value and should be carried in every Walmart store, not just online. I would have purchased several of these gates a long time ago had I known they existed. As with anything new, read your instructions and have patience when installing. The gate does work and you will be very pleased!!

Installation was simple and straight-forward. Construction appears to be high quality. Main reason for purchase was to keep our high-jumping dog confined to a certain part of the house and this gate is serving that purpose while also providing an attractive looking solution.

Maybe my doorway was bigger than it's intended use (it fits the listed specs, though) but it's a tad wiggly. I bought it to keep my dog in the kitchen. So far she hasn't been to jump it (and I doubt she will ever)...she easily got over a normal sized baby gate.
