Does the job
This gate does exactly what I expected. It was easy to install, easy to use.

great gate
I have an xtra wide hallway..and this fits great...the hardware is screwed to the wall(eyelits), but when it is not in use I can un-clip and store next to my fridge!

Works well.
I bought this gate to keep my dog and cat out of the living room. I have a 46" opening between the living room and the kitchen so I was having trouble finding something wide enough. The gate is also in a prominent spot in my house so I needed something that looks decent. This gate is easy to install, sturdy, expands to widths bigger than most gates. It's wall mounted and when open can swing back so you can get it out of the way. It looks clean (some of the gates out there are hideous!) and it presents a strong barricade that my animals don't challenge. All in all, it was money well spent.

Great baby gate
This is a great, manuverable, lighweight baby gate. It is extra long for those longer than normal enterances. Affordable as well. I really like how easy it is to move back and forth, use it or leave it open....it's great!

Not bad, but make sure its not into drywall.
This would be a fine product if you have an opening with wood on both sides, but do not use if its just drywall. Within 2 days the supporting hardware pulled out of the wall and left the gate unsafe and useless.

Honestly though this could be a very nice product in the right situation.

VERY PLEASED
This is the one and only gate i could find that fit my 24 inch wide doorway. it also works well in another room in my house that has a 48 inch opening. Keeps my crawling 10 month old girl out of harms way!

Inexpensive and it works
You can't beat the price compared to other gates. I use it to block of a 60" opening and it's wide enough to block even a couple more inches. You do have to drill 4 holes in your wall but the gate is sturdy and if you pay attention to your child when you are opening and closing it it's perfectly safe. good stuff.

A great gate
I purchased this gate for a the opening into my kitchen. It is an odd caddy corner shaped opening. The gate was easy to install and works great. We purchased it to keep my 8 month old son from crawling into the kitchen to eat the dog's food! He is almost 2 now and we still use it to keep him out of the kitchen. He has never pinched a finger or any other part of his body. My 5 year old is able to open and shut it with ease. It is very durable and his withstood my son shaking it back an forth. I guess you could say it is kid tested and mother approved.

not the safest option
You should be aware that Consumers' Reports recommends against this type of gate, because the folding diamonds of the main gate section can pinch fingers, heads, and everything else. Might be fine where you're going to keep a constant eye, but not the best option for a high-usage area where you expect the containment to keep the kid safe...

Easy to install
This expandable gate is very easy to install, and securely fits my odd sized doorway (unlike the pressure gate that I had previous tried to use.) It is also surprisingly sturdy for an expandable gate, and has not loosened up when either of my very large dogs has leaned against it. I like the fact that it can be opened from either side. I do not care for the clasps that are used to open and close it, though. It is sometimes difficult to apply the correct amount of pressure to the rather small handle, while you are simultaneously trying to line up the latch on top and the hook on the bottom. Once it is opened or closed, though, it does a wonderful job.
