Color is a dark cherry. Very stylish gate expands to fit almost any opening — but that does change the width of the slat opening. In the photo it is at it’s smallest width, but as you expand the slats may not line up evenly and overlap in a different pattern. Fairly easy to install, it seemed. Assembled with 1″+ screws and four brackets. Wouldn’t want my 80lbs dog up on it, but should pen in a smaller animal or a toddler. Wood was not too heavy, but reasonably sturdy.
Not the right gate for me, but not entirely terrible… Positive: nice color, solid when closed, easy to remove from hinges if you need to for any reason, good span, and pretty quick installation.Negatives: In our town home, our primary living spaces are on the second and third floors, so we placed this gate at the top of the stairs from the first to the second floor. No matter how we mounted it, the latch was right next to the banister (with about an inch to spare) making it very difficult to access the spring for opening and closing. To open the gate, you have to squeeze a spring and pull the latch out of a slot by sliding the gate in on itself. It doesn’t lock in position like most hardware mounted gates and the sides do not slide easily or smoothly. Also, in order to close the gate, you actually have to line it up with a slot and then pull on it, sliding it along loose brackets that catch unless you’re using both hands. I definitely think this is a much worse design than other expandable gates that lock in position and click in a slot when they close. Sliding the gate in and out of the slot is just completely untenable. The bottom bracket is a U shape, so when my 8-month old pulled on the bottom of the gate, it came away from the bracket by 1-2 inches. This wasn’t nearly enough to cause a fall hazard, but it was clearly a pinching hazard. I found I had to put EVERYTHING I was carrying down (on the stairs) in order to open or close the gate, which was very inconvenient when I was carrying a diaper bag, a baby in a car seat and a purse when arriving or leaving home.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this gate for use on stairs and I’d be surprised if it was any easier to use between rooms, but I suppose it’s possible.
