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.

Really nice gate. It was easy to put together. My only complaint would be that it didn't come with additional end pieces to make it fit the space I needed bc of how it was set up. I ended up having to make it go behind the couch a little. but overall very satisfied!

Perfect size for my Jack russell puppy. Taller and longer than other fences / play yards of found. I like how sturdy it is and how you can arrange it however you like then simply turn the knobs on top to tighten. I have not yet attached to the wall. Only negative I have is that it seems the gates latch is not the best design and don't know how long it will last if using the gate frequently.

We have an open floorplan and our living room, dining area, and kitchen are all one large space, so we needed something extra wide to contain our 15 month old in her designated play area (living room). This gate will do the job, though it is far from ideal. My biggest issue is that this gate can be moved around/pushed along the floor by toddlers. The width of the opening we enclosed was roughly 15.5’, so 8 panels is too wide and 7 too narrow. We have to use all 8 panels, so the product will only fit if we bend the gates and it is quite loose. I was expecting a tight, straight line of gate across the opening, but it is very movable and our little one loves pushing on it. This is concerning because 1.) she may be able to rip it out of the walls if she pushes too hard and 2.) the legs of the gate are metal and could very well damage our floor if they are constantly sliding along it. I would strongly recommend purchasing felt furniture pads for the legs of each panel to prevent floor damage. Secondly, the latch on the door is extremely hard to open one-handed. Imagine carrying a baby or toddler to the enclosed area with one hand and attempting to open the gate with the other. Impossible. I think it will be a good temporary fix for us while I continue looking for a gate that stretches to the exact length of a room opening and stays tight/unmovable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gate is exactly what I needed for my baby. I loved it, I was looking for a large gate, to help me so that my baby could not crawl to the kitchen when I am cooking! and so I can keep it in a safe place! is fantastic! It is resistant, long, large, very easy to install, It is lightweight, easy to move and adapts to different types of use, such as in super wide baby gate or Play yard !! I like it because my 11-month-old and two-year-old girls can't open the door that has the gate, but adults can easily open it !! It can be screwed to the wall very easy, This door met my needs. It is of excellent quality !! I really recommend it !!

i use it to keep my puppy in or out of certain rooms in the house. when he is left home during the day, i enclose him in the gate in the kitchen so in case he has any accidents, it's easy to clean up. i didn't like the idea of locking my puppy up in a tiny crate all day so this does the trick perfectly! if i had any small children, this gate would be a godsend, as you could also use it outdoors as a giant playpen. the only issue i had is not realizing that you need to loosen each knob on the gate before you try to bend it. because of this, i broke some knobs on the gate. other than that, it works amazing!!!

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 :)

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.

One of the plastic pieces was broken right out of the box. Two days up, and my toddler was able to break one of the metal rods right off, resulting in another plastic piece breaking and being irreparable. Cheaply made, not at at all worth the money spent.

The metal is not as strong as the North States enclosure. The gate lock is difficult to open, must use two hands it sticks and makes a scraping sound, so eliminates carrying a child through the gate or leading a pet. The North States enclosure that I have is a one hand open gate. I would not recommend this product and am sorry I bought it as a gift for my daughter. Taking it back to the store and have purchased the North States Product.
