I had to buy two in order to keep my pets out of the living room and dining room as we just painted and bought new furniture...I have to say they are exactly what I needed. I originally thought they were a bit taller but I was pleasantly surprised to open the package and see that they weren't, they are tall enough for either my cat or dog to jump and the rails are close enough together to not have to worry about my kitty slipping through. I chose the site to store option to save on shipping and they were at my local store 2 weeks ahead of time! I am extremely happy with my purchase!

This is a great product. My wife and I have dogs and a new baby. Prior to the Regalo, we were utilizing the wooden baby gates. After one of the dogs chewing its way through the gate, we decided to go with metal. This gate is certainly durable. Our dogs have behaved remarkably with the new gate. Since our baby is only 5 months, I am unable to tell how effective it will be when she begins walking. The good thing about this product is the safety mechanism in opening the gate. Unless the child see's how to open the gate, I do not foresee our child (and future children) opening the gate. My wife and I will be purchasing another Regalo for the other entry point so we have two walk-thru gates to enter into.

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.

This metal gate is very light weight and easy to install. I did not secure it to the wall. I just used tension settings to hold it in Place. It is strong but a large dog can bring it down. Once the dog was trained not to push it over it has worked great. It is a gentle reminder that the dogs must stay behind it.

The height of this gate is why I bought it because my 2 year old son can climb over every gate in the house. I wanted him to be safe and this gate did the job. It would be nice if the locking mechanism was a little harder to open so he doesn't figure it out but other then that I found it works well and was fairly easy to install. I was very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to a friend.

My cat has been urinating in all the wrong places. I went to Walmart and picked this up, installed it in about 15 minutes, and now she is confined to one room. Very easy to install. Before setting it into the door frame, it appeared that the gate latch could not possibly get close enough to the gate frame latch to actually latch closed, but once I tightened the pressure thingies, it all came together perfectly. Very pleased!

Before buying this gate, I read all the reviews to see if people said it was effective for cats. At least a couple of reviewers said it worked well for theirs, which is impossible to believe unless they have REALLY large cats, REALLY stupid cats, or the product has been redesigned since their reviews. My cats walked right through, and they're average-size. So disappointing. Especially so since I had to buy two--the first arrived without the six-inch extension. However, WalMart did give me an adjustment on the price when I complained. If you're buying this for a child or mid-sized dog, it's worth a try. It seemed like a quality product for the price, and it's the tallest walk-through gate I found. I was planning to install mine a few inches off the floor for a little extra height.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this medal baby gate as a more permanent solution to my little granddaughter running in the kitchen around hot pans. It works wonderfully and was pretty easy to assemble and put up now she can play at the table while I'm cooking and I don't got to feel frantic that she bump into something. I highly recommend.

This is excellent and convenient.

Easy install and does great for keeping the peace with the dogs and cats.
