I bought this gate years ago and have used it for all 5 of my children. It is great at blocking off a wide opening. I had to stop the boys (when they were 3 and 1) from pushing on it, but it lasted through all my kids. For the price, it is excellent! I was going to give it to my sister, but I lent it out and didn't get it back. I'll have to order her a new one.

I bought this gate about 4 months ago. I have four children, three year old twin boys, a 18 month old and a 6 month old. I was tired of tripping over them in my very small kitchen. First I did not anchor the gate in the studs and the gate pulled right out. But once I put it in the studs it was great. The only problem I have had is that the twins like to rock it, that can cause the screws holding the brackets to back out, but nothing a few turns of a screwdriver can't fix. I like that the anchors are really just simple hooks you can find anywhere. I was able to buy a second set of install hooks, so I can move the gate easily. I can have it blocking off the whole kitchen, or I can back it up and allow the kids in the dining area but still away from the stove. The gate was well worth the [..]. We are moving and I doubt I will have uses for it in the new house. :-(

We purchased a new home with beautiful wood floors and white chairs and squares. Needless to say I wanted a gate that would look nice. Being that we needed 3 gates, but only for a year, I didn't want to spend and arm and leg for them. We primed and painted these gates and added felt to the bottom so they don't scratch the floors. They are high enough to keep my 3 and 1 yr olds in the kitchen/great room and low enough to step over. So far I'm happy and probably saved at least $100. If we had needed gates longer, I would have gotten something a bit more durable, but my 3 year old was comfortably climbing stairs at 2 1/2, so I anticipate the same with my 15 month old in a year.

 "Does the job, worked very well." 2009-11-23

I found this gate to be great for the price. At first when it arrived, I thought it was bulky and not what I really wanted, it took some muscle to install, you must install it into hard studs in the wall or I could see it ripping out. Once I got it installed, and I'm not a very strong girl, and I was able to drill it in! It was wonderful. We have a large opening to the kitchen with a fridge in the way so this ended up a bit diagnol on the entrance but it works fabulous. Even my 7 year old had a time figuring out how to open it, I had to show her a couple of times. My wild 20 month old is very strong and shakes it all the time but it has not fallen off the screws or wall yet and keeps him out very well, he gives me death looks when I'm in the kitchen and yells at me to let him in. Overall, it's great!

We bought this to span a wide area in our entry way which was the only way to block the stairs in our house. It is basically a run of the mill wooden stair gate on steroids.



Pros:

- Does its job. It can span a very wide opening and when it is attached it is secure. (be sure to check the minimum opening size as it is still pretty wide at its smallest setting)

- Can retract/swing to allow people to walk through.



Neutral:

- requires installing i-screws into studs or other substantial materials. I don't think there is a better way to do this as a pressure gate would not be very secure.



Cons:

- the description says it "swings". I was expecting some kind of door in them middle, but really you just unlatch one of the sides and the whole thing pivots side that is still attached. Not elegant, but it works.

- It is not easy to attach and remove from the iscrews. I find myself stepping over it to avoid having to "swing" the gate open.

- Even when installed the gate is "rattley". It is not going to come apart, but it does not have a solid feel to it.



Not a joy to use, but I couldn't find anything else that would do the job so I guess I can't complain too much.
