This baby gate is still holding strong at grandpa and grandma's and it's been 8 years!! It's incredibly sturdy and honestly kinda stylish for a baby gate lol. Easy to use and does it's job well. Highly recommend!!!!

This gate looks way better than I imagined and was pretty easy to install. It’s pretty sturdy and works well to keep the 10 month old contained

This gate is perfect! We have a unique entrance to the bottom of our stairs. It’s very wide and the mounting wall/pillar are not parallel. We needed something that could span the entire bottom width and adapt to the differing angles. We tried custom gate makers but they would only build something a few steps up. With a baby, we didn’t think that would be wise. We also tried one of those more fabric-style gates that pull closed. Those left too much of a gap underneath and because of the width of the stairs at the bottom, it was almost impossible to open and close one-handed and very difficult to do two-handed. This gate is amazing! We’ve had 2 of these for over a year and they work perfectly. Even if our stairs weren’t unique, I’d still recommend. The gate itself is made of sturdy metal. It’s easy to install. The opening is self-closing and latches with little effort. It’s very easy to operate one-handed but a baby or toddler wouldn’t be able to open it. The gate goes all the way to the floor and can be easily removed from the brackets and used to block other entryways or set aside if moving furniture up and down the stairs. I’ve used them on several occasions to corral the dogs in the kitchen. Also, because the gates are sectional and hinged, it means they can be adjusted to fit openings that are not symmetrical. Anyway, these are well worth the money!

With four children, we’ve tried a number of gates. Pressure mounts that slip around or are easily pushed down when the kids inevitably stand on them. (Wall Nannies do help for this!)We eventually switched to the North State brand that mounts with hardware, which was a wonderful improvement because they’re so sturdy and stay in place. However, they do require routine adjustments to tighten the nuts that hold the width bolt in place. (Maybe one of these days I’ll JB weld it in place..)But if you need a longer gate for a wider hallway or stairs, this is the one. Once it is installed (which is easy), it requires no finagling. We have had ours for 9 months and it has been slammed closed innumerable times, and continues to provide security for our kids. The gate swings all the way open so that it will stay open, but once past the “stay open” feature, will automatically close on its own, which is quite handy if you have children *and* are tired of saying, “close the gate please!” eleven thousand times a day.Another handy feature is that the entire gate (minus the mounting brackets) moves out of the way in two literal seconds. A slide button on each end of the gate opens it off the pin and you simply lift the gate up and away from the mounting brackets. Reinstalling is just as easy.Love this gate. Best purchase we have made in the childproofing category.

Extremely good quality and is a snug fit for my wall.. and solves my problem of my dogs messing up up sofa!

I absolutely love this gate. It's got a beautiful dark finish that fits in perfectly with the rest of our decor, the gate swings open and closes very smoothly, and while it's not the easiest gate to open one-handed, it's easy enough for an adult and nearly impossible for our son.We're using this gate to span the extra wide hallway leading from our front door/formal dining room to the living room since we don't want our son (9 months old) getting into anything where we can't keep a eye on him while working in the kitchen. To get it to fit, I had to install it in a half-hexagon shape and I actually like the way it looks that way. It seems to be easier to walk in and out of without having the gate being straight across, though this gate's opening is nice and wide compared to most other baby gates.An added plus to this gate system is that it's extremely easy to disconnect from the mounting brackets and collapse against one of the walls, either full-extended or folded in on itself. It's very convenient for when we have people over and don't need to bother with the gate, or when we're moving larger stuff around and need it out of the way. I couldn't imagine having a gate without that feature after having this one.The only reason I'm knocking this gate a star is the mounting hardware. It doesn't include drywall anchors, so unless you provide them yourself you'll have to find studs to screw into or your baby is probably going to rip the gate off the walls by the time he/she is 2 years old. I always keep a wide variety of drywall anchors on hand because they're cheap and greatly increase the mounting options I have for things like this. I used 75lb drywall anchors for each upper mounting bracket, and that leads to my 2nd issue with this gate...If you have baseboards in the area you're wanting to install this gate, you won't be able to use the lower mounting brackets without damaging the baseboards, which I refused to do. That's why I really went for the overkill on the upper brackets. The lower mounts are positioned at the very bottom of the gate itself, and not midway up the end poles like on some other gates. So unless you want to install the gate floating in the air at least the height of your baseboards, or you don't mind ruining your baseboards and needing to replace them later, you won't be able to use the lower brackets.Having said that, with the drywall anchors we really don't miss having the lower brackets. I can shake the gate myself and it won't budge, let alone when my son tries. The gate is built extremely well and is very sturdy, even without those bottom brackets (though with my added drywall anchors). It's easy to take down and put back up thanks to the quick-connect/disconnect clips on the end panels. All in all, I'd recommend this gate 100% to anyone and would buy one for every large area I needed to fence off in my house if I actually had any more areas.
