The gate it's self is very sturdy and easy to put together. The main problem.... the entrance is so tiny. You literally have to turn side ways to squeeze through it if you are the average size adult. If the walk through area was bigger this gate would be amazing. It's a good price. Nicely made. Sturdy and super easy to put up.

The gate is a beautiful color, it went together pretty easily and the latch for the gate is impressive- my dog couldn't get it open at all. I guess the impressive latch on it was its downfall as the weld broke on the top of the gate and now it's a hazard with sharp edges and no way to fix it. I couldn't give it a rotten grade because of the color and the latch but the easy way it broke is why I had to mark it down

This gate fell a little short of meeting my expectations, but does the job. It was fairly easy to install and relatively secure, but the addition on the side is not as firm and stable as I had expected. When my toddler grabs the gate it has quite a bit more give than I was anticipating and if I tighten it any more the gate won't open. I do like that it doesn't have to be locked to be closed securely. I imagine when my little boy can actually reach the latch it will have to be locked so I'm glad I picked the tall one!

Worked fine for about 7 months before one of the (too small) welds broke on the main walk through portion of the gate. Now I'm stuck with a broken gate that I have to figure out how to repair or replace it since their warranty is only for 90 days. The height is nice on this, but if you're expecting it to last, it probably won't. I personally wouldn't buy from this brand again or recommend that anyone purchase it if you're looking for a long lasting product. It's made obvious they don't expect it to last by the 3 month warranty offered. Broken after 7 months of ownership? I'd call that cheaply made.

This is a well made product and it worked for what I needed till I found a better alternative. The gate was purchased to keep the dogs from going into the bedrooms and we had to raise it off the floor so our big cat could scoot under it. The bars are too close together for the cats to slide through. Well that's become a pain in the neck as there's a bar that goes all the way across. So you have to step over it each time and that's getting old fast. I don't know how I missed it but this same company makes the same gate with a small pet entry door! So I'm returning this gate and have the other gate on order. Also please take notice that the gate opening is rather small so if you are a large person it means having to turn sideways to get through. Laundry baskets have to be lifted up and over. We're going to the shorter gate as I'm small and lifting stuff over the gate is hard. Nice product for the price.

We realized, after assembling, the opening to step through was too narrow to accommodate a person carrying groceries or anything else. Also, it didnt seem especially easy to unlock to step through without freeing up a hand, unlike foot activated locks (although we didnt really try to unlock it once we realized how narrow the opening was!).

The durability seems great, however, I still dislike this gate. If I didn't have another gate to compare it to, I wld probably love it, however, unlike my other gate, this gate only swings one direction, which is very inconvenient for my stairs. Also, the latch is not a one handed job, maybe it will be once I get use to it, but probably not bc I have smaller hands. Finally, the walk through is extremely narrow.

We think this will keep a four-year-old autistic boy out of the small kitchen where he climbed cabinets and the refrigerator. He quickly learned to undo the refrigerator locks so this is our main hope for keeping him safely out. I used the option of blocking the rubber "feet" from slipping along the slick painted sheetrock wall. The boy is very strong, but seems to have given up on attempts to get through the gate.

It does take 2 hands to open but can be closed with 1 hand. I used the pressure mount method versus screwing it into the door frame and my grown son was able to accidentally knock it down. But it was very easy to install and reinstall after being knocked down. When measuring the height, measure to the bottom of the doorknob if you intend to close the door behind it.
