As for so many others who purchase this gate, the arrangement at the top of our stairs does not allow for a gate to be stalled perpendicular to the walls. We needed one that could be angled. There are not too many gates that make this claim, and this one seemed to be the best of the bunch.
After spending a solid five hours installing this product (including some time paring down the newel post in order to prevent the gate from hitting it), here is what I think:
1) The gate and hardware are of good quality. I think they should include additional screws and anchors (not everyone will be mounting on wood exclusively), but that is a minor gripe.
2) Despite what other say, I think that the instructions are sufficient. You must examine the illustrations and read the directions carefully, but they are not particularly difficult to understand, and seem accurate to me.
3) The installation is clearly intended for one who is handy, good with details, precise, and patient. You must plan carefully and measure exactly for the gate to function smoothly. You will need to use your head and some creativity to make sure everything fits in place properly. Frankly, they make it harder than it has to be. They could make it easier by making all of the wall-mounted hardware with "sliding holes" so that the pieces can be adjusted even after they are screwed on. The way it is now, if your hole in the wall is several millimeter off, you are in trouble as there is zero wiggle room.
4) Even when installed perfectly, the gate is not exactly a "dream" to operate (it's got a good amount of play, more than I would like), but it works fine with practice and is certainly secure when locked.
5) While the gate can be indeed installed at an angle, it really works best when the locking latch is installed at the "longer" side - the side farther away from the stairs. If it is on the "shorter" side, at a certain angle the closure will not operate smoothly.
All in all, the age works, but is not perfect. It requires a high degree of skill, patience, and a bit of luck to get it installed properly.

Yes, this gate takes an hour or so to assemble. It's not that confusing if, as the other reviewer said, you lay everything out beforehand. Everything needs to be aligned carefully for the gate to work properly. But if your brackets are aligned, the gate itself can be adjusted so that it seats properly.
I bought this gate because I didn't have a stud right at the top of the stairs. I was able to angle the gate from the nearest stud over to the newel post. The gate opens and shuts easily with one hand, once you get used to the feel of it. You need to raise the whole gate slightly, then let it drop into place. (This is not clearly explained in the directions, either.) Since the latch is on one end of the gate (rather than in the middle, as with some of the plastic gates), you might have to switch your baby to the other hand to close it behind you.
It's an attractive, natural wood color.

I have two of these Angle Mount gates now as well as an older version of the wooden Safeway gate and I love them. They look nice, they swing nicely, and they latch firmly. The older version of the gate is simpler to latch, but I find it requires constant adjustment of the bolts since they are always coming loose. This new version of the hardware is slightly more finicky to set up and align, but then stays that way for all time, latching and unlatching smoothly through repeated use.
As for the difficulty of assembly, I didn't find it as confusing as some here claim. My four year old son helped lay out the parts and figure out how they went together. The long lasting quality and convenient use of this gate compared to cheaper gates (which I have owned and used) is worth the extra work to put it together.
