Quality gate - works with baseboards
This gate is superbly made and has a feel of great quality. I agree with one of the other reviewers that you need to figure out how to configure the extensions for your opening, but the company's website and customer service will help you. My application was between two walls, both of which had oversize 3/4 inch baseboards. Therefore, the distance to be spanned at the top of the gate was a full 1 1/2 inches more than at the bottom. This gate is made to handle that variation easily and securely. As our new puppy's visitors come in, they always comment on the great quality of the gate. The gate will gently close automatically provided you install it in a level manner. With our previous gate, we had to insert a book on each side to compensate for the baseboards. Also, since the bars are vertical, puppies cannot climb over the gate.

Great gate
This is the best gate yet. We have it at the top of our stairs and we purchased it because it is pressure mounted and easy to install. We have a 2 1/2 year old who he has figured out how to open other gates and other child-proofing items we have around our home. This gate is more challenging to open for a toddler, which is good. It is a strong, heavy and sturdy gate. The best. We will be purchasing another because it is the only gate our toddler cannot open.

best baby gate
We got this gate for our front door which leads to a couple of steps. Now that our daughter is crawling/cruising and almost walking and with summer temperatures rising we wanted to be able to let her explore the house safely and be able to keep the door open.
The gate is easy to install and fits very tightly in our door frame (so much so that we didn't have to screw in the cups to make it a permanent gate. The standard gate extension that is included with the gate will make it work for pretty much any door frame so you only need to order an additional extension if your door or opening is extra wide.
The bars are close enough your baby can't go through but still leaves you with a view.
We love the auto-close features, very handy when coming in/out with both your arms full.
The downsides:
1) you have to watch your step when using it so as to not trip over the floor bar
2) you'll have to show everyone how to use it, the opening mechanism is easy to operate once you know how it works and kids will never figure it out, but it will take an adult some time too if you dont show them.
I would recommend this gate, well worth the price.

good product, but delivered broken.
This may have been a good product, but the boxes arrived damaged and the gates broken. (I bought two) Absolutely not the carriers fault. Amazon did such bad packing, there was no way it could have survived the trip. And since the delivery box was damaged, I would have to pay the local pack and ship to return the damaged gate and then wait for replacement.
With a new puppy in dire need of gating, I went to the local PetSmart and bought this product off the shelf from them. Should have done that in the first place and saved myself the hassle. The Amazon extension is headed to the trash.
As a side note, I also bought the gate extensions, and those arrived not damaged, but destroyed. An even worse packing job by amazon.

A little noisy, but does the job!
Installation and adjustments took a little while, but it's a good gate and very secure (we used the screws to attach it to the wall and banister since we're using it at the top of the stairs). I like that it swings closed by itself (helpful when you have your hands full with laundry and/or a baby!), but the CLICK it makes when closing is very loud. Since the gate is right next to my daughter's door, we try not to let it swing shut by itself when she's sleeping - we ease it closed - but even then the click is very apparent. Oh well, it hasn't woken her up yet! All I know is that she won't be able to open it by herself anytime soon, which is the whole point, right?

Wonderful gate
I bought this gate for the top of the stairs and for me its been money well spent.Its easy to install and quite sturdy.The auto close feature works well though it is a bit loud when it closes.The opening is a bit narrow but overall it is doing what it is supposed to.

Sturdy, but noisy
Much sturdier than any plastic gate we tried. Make sure you measure the space and get the correct extensions to fit. There is very little leeway in terms of the width, you have to have the right extensions to fit. Makes a pretty loud noise when it closes, which is an issue for us as it's right next to the nursery at the top of the stairs. Doesn't require drilling for top-of-stairs use which is nice. The opening isn't real wide so maybe not good for older or wider people.

Sturdy Gate, Auto-Close Hardware Immediately Failed
This is a strong, sturdy and nice looking gate, that was relatively easy to install. However, the key selling point to me was that the gate automatically closes on its own and after about twelve uses (yes, only twelve) the gate failed to close on its own and I now have to manually lift the lever and then close the gate. I called the manufacturing company (not amazon)and asked if they could send me the replacement hardware (springs that go inside gate) and they said "no". I was informed my only resolution was to return the entire item to Amazon and I would be sent a replacement gate. We are a busy family, with two working parents and I am not going to spend the time re-packaging this very large item to ship back, then have to wait for another one to be shipped to me. Never mind the re-install job! Poor customer service. I decided to keep the gate as it is, although it is very over priced as a regular, manual gate.

stairway baby gate
Very sturdy and safe gate. Pricey, but worth it for the security of not having your child falling down stairs.

Nice gate, but had to return it
This was a nice gate, but we had to return it. The auto close feature ended up being annoying. My wife also did not like the loud "click" when lock engaged after it was closed.
