1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Engineering, February 7, 2005

This review is from: North States Supergate Extra Wide Swing Gate (Baby Product)

Who ever designed this gate has no clue what to expect from a 1 year old child. This gate is all look and no function. It looks great when you install it but had no strenght to resist a 13 month old child from pushing it in the middle and almost breaking it. If you plan on buying this gate be prepared to do a little bit of drilling and bolting to make it work. I was finally able to use the thing only after I bought four #8-32 x 1 3/4" long screws with matching washers and nuts and bolted the middle of the gate together. I did this by unscrewing the original connection at the middle of the gate and overlapped the pieces together about 6" then drilling two holes about 4" apart on the top and bottom rails and bolting together. It works! But it's not what someone should have to do after spending thie price for something. Good luck!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not strong or safe!, January 24, 2005

I recently purchased this gate, as I needed a gate for a space that is 93 inches wide. I was so happy when I found this, and for the price! Well, I installed it with no problem at all. But it is not secure. It actually bends forward and backward with barely any pressure and when my daughter leaned against it, the wooden dowels that hold the bars together actually started to break. AWFUL and very unsafe!!! Target.com was very helpful in sending UPS to pick it up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Flimsy, February 4, 2005

By 

Amanda (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: North States Supergate Extra Wide Swing Gate (Baby Product)

I recently purchased this gate for an opening in my home that is 68 inches wide. Within one week of use, the wood splintered apart in the center rendering it completely unusable. I am returning the gate and puchasing the more expensive metal type. This gate is a perfect example of getting what you pay for.
