Don't get me wrong, this gate does the job to keep my dog away from certain areas, but, I think that it could be built a little surdier. I say this because it seems as though it is only a matter of time before my dog breaks the plastic holding the gate together with his constant pushing and shaking. But as of this moment, it appears to be holding up. I gave it 4 stars because it does the job but it is not as stable as other gates I have bought in the past. Also, the extension bars either come as 4 or 6 inches from what i have seen so far. It would be nice if it was offered at 6, but could be broken down 2 inches at a time. That would save someone a lot of headache when setting it up.

I bought this to help with puppy training and keep chewable things out of reach. Works great. So happy with how tall it is. Easy to put together. The only thing that may be concerning is the need to use two hands to open the gate. There is a slide and lift. This would be a good feature for talented toddlers, but not sure about adults holding something while trying to open.

Gate is sturdy and well built. Securing to walls is strong and well thought of. Pros: if installed correctly, would be hard to knock down. Locking latch takes two hands and well built. Cons: for me opening is small. Bar across the bottom, trip hazard. Believe if kicked enough or stepped on, would eventually bend. Lock is hard to manage if in a hurry. All said and done, using it to separate dogs from bedrooms. So it will work for that if you don't have to travel in or out a lot. For what I paid great deal. Current price OK deal

If you need to keep a dog from not going up stairs or block a very young child. This is a great gate as it was very easy to setup, is easy for older children in the same home to operate and keeps your dogs downstairs! AND it does not permanently damage your walls! Love this gate!

This gate is terrific. It took 5 minutes to set up; it is well-made and quite sturdy. It keeps cats out - the main reason I wanted it. It is tall enough and gives them no landing space; they have not even tried to jump over it. And they are too fat to squeeze between the bars. ;-)

will not hold much weight because the pressure mounting system wont let you tighten it fully because the door will not open if u do. Bought it to keep dogs apart but the dogs start at 50 lbs so when they push on it or jump on it and pull the on the gate it pops open even when locked not just latched.its not worth the money in my opinion because you cant use it for larger dogs or children because they can move it from the doorway. although it maybe better used for stairs. dont know i didnt try it on a stairway

I got this gate to keep my dog out of a bedroom where my cat eats and often sleeps. It keeps the dog out, but keeps the cat out too! I sawed off one of the spokes so my cat could fit through. It's fine - kind of small opening and only swings one way.

This gate was purchased for use in our church nursery doorway. It is sturdy...the height is wonderful for being out of reach of tiny hands. The walk-through gate is easy to use and it can lock securely. We are now installing one on the older toddler's classroom.

Pros: Tall Metal Nicely painted Strong Easy to assemble Great value for the price No cross bars for a foothold Cons: Didn't purchase sooner! I accepted ownership of a dog that was being neglected by being left out on an apartment patio day and night, barking his head off, from the time he was a pup. While I am at work he and my first dog stay in the first bedroom with the doggie door. When I come home I let them out into the rest of the house. Then I started seeing the telltale signs this little boy was marking his territory. Tried various training methods, even had my living room area boxed off like a fort! Finally I said, this is my house and I am taking it back! With this gate in the doorway the dogs can see out but can not get out. My house is mine again!!!! I like the height of the gate also as it is at waist height and I don't have to bend down to open and close as I am coming or going. Feels very sturdy and will last many years. Whoopee!!!!!!!

this gate, worked out great for us, we got it to contain our new pup. The instructions were not helpful we had to figure it out without them, but once we got it up it works great. Don't recomend this gste for a pups under 4lbs. though, they can squeeze through the bars. After the puppy gets bigger the gate worked great for us.
