I was really shocked at how tall this gate really was, but we love it. I used it in the doorway to my toyroom that leads into the kitchen. I run my own daycare and was concerned about this doorway because all my little ones love to try and hang out with me in the kitchen, and I am not graceful while I am cooking. This way it is tall enough for them to look through and not short enough for them to try and climb over it. Our Beagle puppy doesn't like it so much since she figured out she can jump things. Works great for us as a family, daycare and a pet owner. Love it! Highly recommend it! The only downfall is you have to screw it into the wall, but I have over looked that now that we have used it and has helped us out having it!

We adopted a beautiful girl- Ibizan Hound / Yellow lab mix. She likes to jump too!. We needed to find the highest possible gate and found it on a pet supply site but checked Walmart before ordering and it was almost 1/2 price! The gate is the perfect size for her and very strong! Easy to use! Love it, love it, love it!

I purchased this gate to help keep my 8 week old puppy confined to the tiled areas of the house. The gate was easy to set up and install. I added rubber furniture coasters to go up against the wall to prevent marring the finish and to prevent slippage. They work well and I don't have to screw into the baseboards or the dry wall to install the plastic holders provided by the manufacturer. The gate works as advertised. It is the third one I have purchased and would do so again.

After getting them installed, they work great. So nice having the opening to go thru without taking down the gate. One thing needs to be stressed, the bottom bar that crosses from side to side, you really need to be careful not to forget it's there when you are going thru the gate, I did trip and fall first time.

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!!

My husband I had purchased a similar gate for our new dog last year from Petsmart. We had decided to get another gate so that we didn't have to keep moving the other one. I went online and purchased this one for about 30.00 less then what we paid for the one from Petsmart. It sets up the same way and is actually more durable than the other one. It was a very wise decision to purchase it from Walmart.

Let’s see the only good thing about this gate was that it was cheap. I did a site to store on this thing and it took only 3 weeks to get here. Yes I said 3 weeks it’s not Christmas or anything so there’s no reason it should have taken this long to get the junkie thing. I was going to set this up on the top of the stairs to have a barrier to keep the dog away from the cats if they needed to run away. There’s a 3 inch gap that this stupid gate doesn't adjust too because the extension is like 6 inches. Furthermore the latch on top didn't even line up with the top bar so it swung both ways. It’s poorly put together and the welds look terrible. It’s going back to the store ASAP.

When looking for a gate to block off my hallway from my two crazy medium sized dogs, I knew I would need an extra tall gate just to make sure they couldn't jump it- which they definitely can't. My only concern before ordering this gate was whether or not my 6 year old son with SPD would be able to open it himself so he would feel trapped. This was put at ease with this gate! Since it is only being used as a doggy barrier, I am able to close the gate by pushing the handle down so that it is resting ontop of, rather than locked under, the red sliding safety tab. This way my son is able to open and close it on his own with no problem as long as the handle is not locked in place. The only thing I wished is that this gate had a larger walk-through area for bringing baskets of laundry through, or whatever you might be carrying. It seems it is a standard size though. Also, plan on hard mounting this gate! It definitely won't hold up unless you do. So if you don't plan on or want to put holes in the walls or door frame then this probably isn't the gate for you. This gate has worked great in our hallway. We also purchased one to block off my son's playroom. I totally recommend it! You won't have to worry about your little ones figuring out how to open this gate on their own when handle is locked in proper place- I found it to be a two handed operation although the box says one. Plus, your little one would have to be fairly strong and on tippy toes with hands over head to even attempt it, so I don't see how a 3 year old could do this as another reviewer suggested.

I bought this to install at my kitchen entrance. I am using it for my dog, a golden retriever puppy who will apparently be able to scale the 30 inch versions of these gates when full grown. This has worked great for keeping her in one part of the house and gives her space when I am away - and I think the height will be beneficial. It's hard to say how durable it will be long-term, but quality and price seems to fit exactly what I needed.

I bought this gate orginally to keep a standard sized, very active poodle in a mud room when we didnt want her out and about and used it to keep my baby out of the dogs food and water,, I purchased a second one to keep the baby out of my teens room, and now that the baby is three, we are using it to keep the dogs out of her room, as she is big enough at three to open the gate and go in and out of her room, but yet keep her door open so I can keep an eye on her. Now I am buying two more, one for the extra bedroom and one for the basement stairs, as the goldendoodle just went through my wood gate I had there. Wonderful sturdy gate,just not recommended for kids big enough(my daughter just turned 3 ) to open it if you are trying to keep them out of somewhere
