I see some negative comments here about this gate, but I disagree. We installed this gate 2 years ago in a high-traffic area between kitchen and front hall. Sure, it wasn't as easy to install as a pressure mounted gate, but you won't find another telescoping gate for a wide opening at this low a price. We have found it to be sturdy and easy for adults to open. The thing I like most about this gate as compared to other wide-opening gates is the fact that it telescopes (collapses) down to one panel's width and then can be swung flat against the wall on its pivots to get it out of the way. This is really handy for those times when baby is NOT in the room. We love this gate.

While we haven't had the chance to use this for our newborn, we decided to put the up gate early to keep our 3 80lb dogs out of our dining area. The gate took about 20 minutes to install using a drill and screwdriver. It works great in the large opening between our dining room and living room. It is sturdy and contrary to previous reviews, pretty easy to latch and unlatch once you get the hang of it. Highly recommend.

I had an odd area between my kitchen bar and wall that was 52 in. wide that I wanted to gate off. It separates the kitchen/office from the livingroom/diningroom. I was pleasantly surprised by how tall the gate was. 31in. Even my 11 year old cannot step over it. It was easy to install. Just screw in the two strips on either side of where you want the gate to be. If you have a stud or solid wood, you are screwing it into, the screws are plenty long enough. Then just snap it on. Easily removeable for out of sight storage. You do still have the strips on the wall, but their not bad to look at. We find it opens and closes easily for you, but not for your toddler. My 1 1/2 and 3 year old cannot do it. It will fold back on the wall connection hinge when not in use. Either way, you decided. It took me about a half an hour to install. It holds up to my big dogs and kids. Great for wide spaces!

My husband and I had a hard time finding a gate that would fit the space we had between our dining room and our living room without having to pay a small fortune. Then we found this gate. Its wonderful! We bought it to keep our puppy out of the livingroom because we don't want him jumping on our new baby when she is born. It was pretty easy to install and it fits the opening perfectly. Its very easy to slide together to close and it opens very easily. It doesn't seem to be the sturdiest thing in the world but it keeps the dog out of the livingroom where he can wreck hovac! I know it will work well with the baby once she is born and starts crawling around too. I am sure once our baby learns to walk and climb, we'll have to get a different gate because this one isn't really sturdy--but for now, its doing what its intended to do!

This is the best gate ever. I bought it two yrs ago and it is still going strong and we use it a million times everyday. We have it between our kitchen entry and our family room. It is durable, easy to take off if you need to, nice to look at. My 60 lb dog also puts her weight on it and it doesn't budge. One of the best gates out there, and is great for wider doorways. You will not regret your purchase. Awesome product for the price.

I have two large doorwaysin my home that I had to secure. This gate is one of the only gates that would fit without pricy extensions. I had no problem at all installing the gates. It took me about 10-15 min each. I really like being able to slide the gates down and out of the way in minutes. I read these reviews just before I purchased the gates and had the impression that it was difficult to install and open/shut. This is not true. If you read the directions, it is very simple to install and operate. There are 16 screws total, which may be a problem for some people, but I think it makes this gate more reliable than those with 4 screws. All in all, I am very happy with this gate. The cost is amazing compared to the iron gate that I was considering as an alternative.

I bought this gate today at a local Babies R Us store after going through all the reviews here and I couldn't be happier. It was very simple to install and 16 screws later, it started doing it's job. The latch was a bit tough at first to line up and lock into place, but after my husband and I got it in the first time, ever time after that it locked with no problems. Total time to install was about 15 minutes and that included taking it out of the box and getting the tools I needed to do the job. My 10 month old son hates it and so does the dog. My son can't get into the kitchen to try and eat the dog food and my dog can't get into the kitchen to eat my son's food when we're at the table. It's also very stirdy even in wide open spaces. It gates off up to 5 feet of space. Definately a great investment if your looking for something that is good for wide open spaces, you don't have to climb over, easy to install, affordable and most of all safe for your child(ren).

I have a very odd opening between my kitchen and family room and I have 2 very rough toddlers! This gate fit perfectly between the opening and because of it's height, my little ones can not climb over or open it, unlike the other gates that we tried. I also love it because my 8 year old can't step over it either. It is very easy to open and easily comes off the wall to store away. It only took a few minutes to install and is great because it pushes together against the wall. Like I said before if it can keep out my 2 toddlers it has to be AWESOME!!!

I actually bought this gate about 6 years ago when I had my first child since then it has been through another child and a dog. I never had any problem opening or closing it. The 16 screws made the gate very steady, a little wood putty and paint will fix the holes when you are done. We mounted it just above the molding this lifted the gate up only about 3 inches not enough to hurt anything. The gate itself does flex a little but not enough to be unsafe. I am in the process of installing it in this house for our third child and since I have two large doorways I will be purchaseing another one these gates.

I am so glad I did not read some of the negative reviews before I bought this gate or it might have made me a little leary about buying it. I had just bought the soft and wide gate but found it very difficult to use and get through so I am returning it. I was looking for something to keep my grandaughter in my family room and out of the kitchen when she is over. The space is very large, 60ins. and all the other products I was able to find were so expensive and not really very functional looking and since even though she is over often it is not really a full time thing so I didn't want to pay too much. I just stumbled across this gate at babies r us while there looking for an Easter dress and we are so pleased with it. My husband had it up in 5 minutes and had no trouble at all. It it something you have to figure out to open but when you do it is very easy, even my 70 year old mother-in-law had no trouble after the first time we showed her. It is also very easy to swing out of the way when not in use. I would highly recommend this gate even if I were using it every day.
