So we have a wonky bottom-of-the-stairs area that needed a gate under 25" high, and this gate was pretty much it. It looks so junky, and it would be in a high-traffic area, where we'd have to remove it and re-install it several times a day... ugh. But we've been pleasantly surprised at how well it works! I can remove it one-handed with my 25-lb toddler in the other arm, and re-install it just as easily. She pulls on it with all her might and can't dislodge it. The price is right, too. It's ugly, to be sure, but does the job much better than I'd hoped for.

This gate is easy to use, and has worked well, it is just not that pretty to look at. If you don't care how it looks, then you can't beat the price and your child will still be safe, which is what is most important.

This gate is inexpensive, which is great, but it is difficult to use unless you enjoy jumping over it a lot. The "memory" feature that is supposed to make it easy to release and replace once you've got it set up doesn't work at all. The process of tightening the gate back down removes the bar that is supposed to keep its "memory."

In addition, it is very difficult to get a snug fit in any doorway, since you can't use the level to spread it out, you've got to push with your hands and risk mashing your knuckles, which I did a number of times. Eventually, I just gave up and now I essentially lean it against the door frame. This works well enough, but I wouldn't recommend this gate to anyone.

If you have baseboards where you want to mount this gate, don't get it. For that matter don't get any gate where you cant adjust the pressure mounts if putting it somewhere where you have a baseboard which sticks out thicker than the wall, you need adjustable pressure mounts or it won't work. If you are mounting in a door frame or somewhere where the walls are flush it should work just fine for the price.

The reason I purchased this was because I am keeping my cousins 2 dogs while he looks for a place to live that he can keep them. He is going through a divorce. I needed something to separate them from my 4 cats. The dogs Hate cats and are very jealous of them. The gate has worked great. The dogs bump their heads against it, push against it but it stays put. If it can keep them under control, a baby would be nothing.

I bought two of these gates to keep my house rabbits out of the computer room and away from my books. They are holding up well and fit tightly in the doorways. The only problem I can see is that they don't accommodate uneven walls as well. The height is just right to keep the bunnies out but not so high as to make them difficult to step over. They don't look too bad either.

I bought this gate and it totally works well. The only problem I have with it, is that unlike wooden models which slide wider/narrower much more easily this one is kinda trick. So it makes it harder to get a tight fit in what you're trying to block. If you're looking though for a cheap gate and don't mind a slight struggle this is a good one.

I would not recommend it though for anything over a medium sized dog (We are using it on a beagle). It would not be high enough.

This is a great pressure gate. We got it to temporarily block the entrance between two rooms as our new kittens were getting used to the other cats in the house. It is a little tricky to figure out at first, but it is wonderfully sturdy and adaptable for such a great price. Just read the directions carefully and you will get the hang of it soon.

I use this gate to keep my dog out of my room. It does the job for cheap.

Very sturdy well made gates..We have four of them blocking off areas that are not child proofed and they keep my daughter out well. It's easier to just step over them than to move them every time to enter one of the rooms but they are pretty easy to move and put back
