The mounting hardware this gate comes with is a joke. Do yourself a favor, and buy new screws before attempting to attach it to a wall. I wouldn't use this for the top of the stairs either. The rod that you are supposed to use to mount the gate to the wall can be easily jiggled out of the top and bottom brackets.

This wide gate and play yard came just in time to span across a damaged chain link fence, that was torn down by lightening and felled tree. The gate was used to keep the damaged part of the fence in tact. to keep our dog from getting out and getting lost in a newly moved in property. It was two weeks before we could get the original fence repaired. We are now using the Regalo super wide gate to span across the deck to enclose the stairs to the basement. The built in door in the gate makes it very convenient to walk through, without opening the end of the gate. It would be excellent if the gate came with a spare set of brackets and latches, because we have to order these parts, if we want to move the gate into a different use or area.

I absolutely love, love, love this gate! It's portable and can be used as a wide gate or as a playpen at home and when I'm out at the kids football games. Unfortunately my 2 yr old learned how to open the gate. Only downside is that it's heavy and I wish it had a bag for transport.

This gate diffently deserves a 5 star rating. Its not only adjustable to fit most spaces to keep your curious toddler safe but its also keeps my dog out of trouble. My son is a problem solver and at 1 yrs old has figured out how to open other gates but he's not able to open this one. Same goes for my little dog who climes over other gates but with this gate he can't. I also love that its attractive and not an eye sore.

This thing gets the job done - but we had to buy dowels and zip tie them to the structure to keep it from bending. The plastic joints are pathetic, a 25-lb 18 month old kid can just throw his weight against it and bend / break the joints out of position. My son was able to just push on the joints until the gate changed shape enough to let him reach through the bars and get at the entertainment center. It's still a good, long set of bars, but just be prepared to reinforce it if you need it to hold up against smart kids or smart dogs with some weight to them. You can also only set it up one way. The partitions are removable, but you can only remove them 2 at a time due to the joint design.

We had been looking for a "gate" system for our 12 pound dog. Periodically we need to work long hours so we want to keep her in an area where there is tile on the floor. We have used this gate in several spots of the house so far and love it. The doorway in the gate is very easy to operate, the sections of the gate allow you to set-up just about any configuration. If we leave one section of the gate against a wall or behind a sofa table (or something like that), there has been no need to actually connect it to the wall - which is why we like this gate so much - we didn't want to HAVE TO put screws in the wall. My sister's dog came visiting for the holidays and we used this gate to keep her separate from our dog (her dog is a tad mean), and my brother-in-law is coming with his baby daughter this coming weekend, so we are positive we'll find good uses for it then too. Perfect for the job.

We really like the baby fence. It's very sturdy, the gate works well and is easy to operate, it was easy to set up, and it was easy to adjust the size. The one problem that I found is that you can only change the size by 2 fence pieces. That means you can't change the size by 24 inches, only 48. The way the fence is designed it has male and female parts. They don't give you enough parts to end with two female or two male fence pieces which means you can't change the length of the fence by just one fence piece (24 inches). It would be a quick fix by the company. All they would have to do is include a couple extra pieces to allow you to end with two of the same fence pieces.

I love this gate. The panels do come apart so you can make it one panel or the full length. It is a great size and perfect for what I was looking for! It is taller than I expected, I did not check the height measurements before buying, so that was a pleasant surprise. The latch for door is great too, it took a bit of getting used to but now I do it without evem thinking. I have had it for about two weeks, and would recommend. The only thing I would be careful with age and size. If you are using full 8 panels, its going to be not as sturdy. But i do not have connected into wall yet and my 21 lb daughter holds on without knocking ot over yet but I have supported on the ends. But basically just keep in mind the longer the gate the less stability. I would def buy another though.

I used this gate as a pet gate. I have a rabbit and my husband and I were concerned about him being able to escape his area or worse, get stuck and hurt. I bought and securely attached wire netting and it's working out great! It actually looks very nice too!

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.
