I bought this gate to block the lower stairs in our bi-level home, to keep our Wheaten Terrier in the downstairs family room during the day. So far, so good. Our dog can jump very high, and has managed to get over shorter gates. I installed this gate on the first step for a few additional inches, and she has not gotten out yet (had I installed it on the ground level, I believe she might have cleared the top by now.) The gate is sturdy, but easy to take down or reinstall when needed. The thin, glossy bars make climbing or pushing difficult. The only downsides I have found are the following: 1) When the gate door is open, the clearance space is very narrow (16 inches), so it might not work well in a high traffic area. This may be a bigger problem when the gate is installed on a step (like ours) because you loose some of the step's space, forcing you to pivot on your foot and walk sideways down the step to clear the gate opening. 2) The gate's design (four pins using pressure to wedge the gate between the walls) might not withstand pushing from a larger dog or a determined toddler.

I purchased this gate to keep my dogs in the kitchen when the doorbell rings. It was an economical, easy to install, solution to my problem. I would recommend this gate to anyone who would like to section off an area of their home for pets or, I imagine, children, too.

I do like how this gate is made... sturdy and fairly easy to open up with one hand (but not so easy as a kid could do it...). The main problem is that it is very difficult to set up in my home. We have an older townhome, with stairs that have a metal railing. That is only one part of the problem. I had hoped to secure the 3 corners and see how well it settled, and go from there. Unfortunately, the gate without the small expansion is much too small for the opening, and with the expansion, is just a bit too large to be able to use the "cups" that secure the gate to the wall. SO, we had to forgo the wall cups. Also, the gate has to be tightened JUST right, so as not to block the door from opening. This means the gate, at least in our situation, isn't quite sufficiently tight to the walls and rail. I cannot fix the width of the opening problem which means it will never be as sturdy as it should be, but i will be able to jury-rig the metal railing/tightening issue with some strategically placed zip ties. Hopefully you would not have any problems with this gate, as our situation is probably pretty rare. Good luck.

Absolutely brilliant! My little cavapoo puppy could never fit between the bars nor could he jump over this high gate - even though he could easily jump over a standard sized baby gate. Easy to set up, and exactly what I was looking for. The opening is just fine, I can get through it with space to spare on either side. The entrance is a big as possible given the fact that it must fit between a door opening. This product solved a major problem for such a small price. Totally worth it.

The gate works... assuming that whatever the gate is trying to impede won't actually lean up against it. You see, there are two "pressure" screws on each side of the gate, but you cannot tighten the top screws very much, or else the gate won't close (due to thinning of the gateway). However, because you cannot tighten the top screws, be prepared to be creative in finding ways to hinder the movement of the top portion of the gate, especially if you have medium to large dogs that like to jump up...

I bought this gate for my puppy, and I needed something that would be tall enough and would last quite a while. He's going to be a big dog, so this was the perfect gate for him. It's simple to set up, and it's easy to maneuver in & out of it. I recommend this to any dog owner looking for a gate for a puppy, or even an adult dog, to keep them from roaming through the house when not at home.

I bought this item to keep my puppy from going into the living room. I put it up at the kitchen divide. I chose this one because of it's highth as my pet likes to jump high! The gate opening is narrow, so if you are overweight it may be a problem. Otherwise this is a good durable product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m obsessed with this gate! I got it for my mini dachshund and it’s more than perfect. Easy to walk through and so easy to install! She likes that she can see me vs the gate we had before. Definitely an upgrade! I like the sleek, black, metal design and the ease of the functions. Buy this!!!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this gate is black. It has good size. It is easy to assemble and almost no tools required. It’s tall enough for kids not to be able to jump it. We had a shorter gate and my niece would jump it over due it being too short with this gate I don’t have any problems.
