I really like this gate. We had received one from amazon as a gift, and the top latch broke, at the time my son was to little to figure it out so we didn't bother looking for a new one right away. These are not cheap gates, we have been looking around for over a year trying to find one compatible. All the ones we found where over $100. Until I found this one. :) I highly recommend this if you have a large area to block off. I've never used it as a full in closure just a room separater. I even used it over Christmas to keep the little one away from the tree :)

I would not recommend this flimsy thing if you need to keep your baby safe. Mine came damaged and the door does not shut properly do to warping so I cable tied it shut and just step over it. My dog could open it easily if it were not for the cable ties. The panels are slightly warped, just enough to make it look kind of junk. It works ok for me because I am just trying to keep a 10 pound Shih Tzu out of my homeschool room so she doesn’t eat crayons and distract my son. I wouldn’t trust it if the gate was there to keep her safe though. I’ve had it installed for about 12 hours and it looks kind of junky and like it has been used and abused for a long time. It’s just too much trouble to return it though.

I bought this item to use as an outside gate since buying a permanent one cost $1000. I only set it up early spring-late fall when little chance of snow accumulation in New York. It worked great keeping my little dog in the yard yet giving access to leave. The same pens for pets having a dogie door too were more expensive at the time. Only problem is the plastic connections don't hold up well to the elements. I did squeeze 3 years out of it but connection zip ties when the plastic connections broke.

Needed to keep my dogs from getting in a certain area of my home which is 14 feet wide so this was perfect. Love being able to open the door on it and not move the gate. I was able to adjust panels so I did not have to mount to wall. Would definitely recommend.

I wanted to create a play area for my 9 month old son. After looking at several options on various websites, I found that this was the largest and also cheapest enclosure I could find. I was a bit nervous, because usually you get what you pay for and some reviews were not very nice, but I figure since Walmart has a great return policy, that if it didn't work out it would be easy to return it and get something better. Lucky for me, everything turned out great. The play area is HUGE! My husband and I are trying to decide if we want to take out a panel or not. This thing is so big, it could cut straight across our living room if we wanted it to. This gate is sturdy and I think it will last us beyond when my son will grow out of it (2 years). Once he does, we will probably use it to block off our entertainment center to keep him away from the TV. Few things to note. There are knobs at the corner of each panel, you need to loosen them up before you unfold them or you may break them (I didn't, but I saw a reviewer who said theirs broke). All the parts are interchangeable, it took me awhile to figure out, but all the plastic connectors actually do come completely off, if you want, so that you can add or remove panels. Another thing, I don't know how they can advertise this as a free standing gate. I didn't plan on using it as one, but before I got the mounts screwed in, my 9 month old was able to move it. So, I don't recommend getting this gate if you don't plan to screw it in. Speaking of screws, these screws are terrible, use your own. I have half a screw that broke and lodged into my wall now. They are junk. So, in summary: Pros Big area Tall Sturdy Durable Cons Moderately difficult to figure out how to add and remove panels, but it can be done Not really good as a free standing barrier Cheap screws (use your own)

There is no need to buy that other expensive gate for $175+! This gate is terrific. I ordered it to close off my family room (12ft wide entryway) from a dog that likes to use it as his bathroom. So after I replaced all of my carpet, I needed a gate that would be big enough, look nice enough, and screw into the walls, as well as be user friendly enough for my 2 and 4 year olds to maneuver to get in and out of the room. This gate is perfect! They can both get in and out, and the dog can't get in. It's sturdy, it looks nice (as far as gates go#, and my husband had it up in 10-15 minutes and its keeping out that dog! Don't spend your money on those other expensive gates, this one is great and worth every penny #and then some!)

I haven't had to actually use it yet so it's not installed yet though it looks like installation will be a piece of cake. I have had it out of the packaging and "played" with it a little bit. Seems nice and sturdy and easy to take pieces apart and make it grow or shrink as needed. The only thing I am disappointed about is there is no adjuster on the ends to unscrew for that extra little bit of space you need as with other baby gates. I don't know what the piece is called but I'm sure you know what I mean if you have experience with baby gates previously. The way it will work in my dining room/living room "doorway" is with the one last piece it'll be a bit big so it'll bow out a bit. As long as it keeps my Siberian Husky away from my baby, and my baby away from the stairs as well as the dog, then I will be happy. It has a nice, clean look to it.

Got the 192" baby gate for my new puppies to keep them in one area while potty training them. Created a U shape against two walls. (Simular to picture) Each Section locks which makes it almost immoveable. Good size play area Love it! Keeps all puppy "stuff" and toys in one contained area

Very sturdy as stand alone gate but my baby got it figured out in two days....did not prevent him from going where he's not suppose too. I bought this because I don't want holes in my wall but I am a bit disappointed. However, it is built very well worth the price and the option of screwing into the wall is really needed for a baby like mine.

Much more sturdy than I had hoped. I am super excited by this and it totally meets my needs! So relieved! It is hard to buy something like this sight unseen, and I am glad that I took the chance on this. Using it for a 10 ft wide room, to block off an indoor pool. Can also move it outside to the yard to use for the toddlers to play. Love it.
