I have a loft-style condo; my bedroom area has an opening but no door. I've tried everything to keep the cats out and nothing has worked until this baby gate! It's tall enough that they don't even attempt to jump over it (2 of my cats are 1 year olds, 1 is 8 years old). Though they are unable to get through the spaces between the bars, a smaller cat or kitten could probably squeeze through. Years ago I had a plastic gate which cost as much as this metal one, and it was flimsy and cheap looking. Plus the gate opened the entire length of the gate which made it VERY flimsy. This gate has a narrower opening, and is supported well on both sides, so it will never move when you are walking through the gate. A real bargain for the price, especially considering it is a sturdy metal. Highly recommended.

The gate serves its purpose, to stop my animals from a room. The gate has a small door that opens, so if you are carrying something wide you have to lift it up and over the gate-even though the door is open. The material is not as solid as I expected for the price.

The gate is nice looking when you consider what it is. The opening to walk through is rather narrow. This was mentioned by other reviews, so I knew it ahead of time. The only negative was upon delivery, I noticed that the packing box appeared to have had something heavy placed/dropped on it. One vertical pole is bent. More than likely this happened in shipping and not manufacturing. To add the Extension was very simple. We did secure one side to the wall with the included screws.

We bought this gate to keep our dogs in their bedroom at night. Yes, they have their own bedroom because we didn't want them sleeping with us so we bought 2 gates. Easy to setup and operate. My neighbor found out that her dog peed in her guest room. She has trouble with smell but her guest didn't. She is going to buy one. Thanks CR

The Regalo-Easy Step Gate is a good purchase for someone that has small children but not for the parent the opening of the gate is small and you have to turn side ways to go through if you have a child in your arms and you are trying to help your toddler through it is impossible this was not the gate for me and I will be returning it.

This is a sturdy, well built gate. The "door"opens and closes very easily. My only complaint is that the baby will be able to pull it down if it is simply pressure mounted to the doorframe. Because of the way it has to be built to allow the door part to open and close, it does not pressure mount tightly enough to keep a toddler from pulling it down. We will simply keep an eye on this. We purchased the gate for two reasons. One was to keep the cat out of a particular room without always having the door closed. The other was because we have a grandbaby that we will want to keep out of certain areas (like the top of the stairs) in the future. Grandchild will rarely be out of our sight, the gate is just an extra precaution, so we are not terribly worried about having it pulled down. If we do worry, we will install the included cups that will keep the gate secure, but at the moment, we do not want holes in our doorframe.

Love this gate!!! Bought it to keep my daughter in and the dogs out!! Works great!! Even though my Chihuahua is able to squeeze threw the bars, my other dogs are bigger and can't. And since the gate is so tall, they are unable to jump it like they do the smaller ones.

I have had this gate up for about 1week. It has kept my 2 jack russell puppies where they belong. It is definitely high enough to confine them for some time to come. It was very easy to install and has been very stable. The gate works easily and 1 handed. Good purchase.

Really nice gate. Protect the house from my dog. Please pay attention during first time assembling that gap between details is not a defect. When you complete assembling and actual installation the door will close perfectly fine. I am satisfied with quality of the product.

I am extremely pleased with this gate however the reviews about the door not opening when the gate is tightened between the door jam are true. I read all those reviews before buying it and I figured most of those people must not be handy so bought it anyway however they are correct. Since we plan to leave the gate up for sometime we decided to put 2 screws into the wall in order to hold the gate firmly in place and still be able to open & close the door, we only did the top screws and not the bottom. Afterall, 2 small screw holes are easily repaired when we are able to take the gate down. We got a new Boxer dog who we don't quite trust to have run of the house yet so she remains in the laundry/bathroom during the day and this gate allows her to have daylight from other windows in the house and also see into the kitchen. But instead of taking it up & down everyday we just leave it up and have not had any trouble walking through it. Basically as long as you are willing to put 2 small screw holes into your door jam I think this is the perfect product and I would buy it again.
