Love this gate! I’d buy it again and again 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.
Not the best gate for 70″ doorway I thought since our doorway was 70″ that this would work out fine for us, but it just didn’t…. the “joints” where the expansions pivot make it inherently unstable in a wider opening, even with the adjustments locked down, there was enough play in the gate that it did not feel like it was very stable at all… it wobbled a lot when we went to open it, and because of that wobble it didn’t always close when the door was released either.I also didn’t like that the gate portion only opens towards one direction – I’m familiar with the because my parents have one for their dogs and I was expecting a similarly solid gate that could be opened either direction and this one was very disappointing. I ended up ordering that Summer Infant to replace this one (having only opted for this one becuase it was $9 less and wasn’t a weird beige color), and I know it will work much better for how we plan to use it.I think this gate could have worked better for us with a slightly smaller doorway – not sure how much smaller, but the design itself seems like it may be more stable when it’s not fully extended. If you need to span something close to the 71.3″ limit of this gate you would be better off with a gate that has solidly secured extensions.
