    This gate is nice in theory. I ordered it because it got so many good reviews. When I received it, I couldn’t believe how heavy it is. It’s very complicated to adjust and install. I also think this looks dated. Unless your home is early American or more country style decor, you probably won’t like it. It’s over kill for a safety gate and far too heavy to use at the top of the stairs.

    This is just what we were looking for to keep our Golden Retriever out of the bedroom (where he can’t seem to resist stealing slippers!) Good looking, operates well.

    Pretty easy to install… My non-standard door opening was right on the edge of the range for using or not using the doorway spacers provided, so I had to drill a couple of extra screw holes to get it to fit just right… but that was no trouble at all.

    First off, this product shipped from Target and they shipped the wrong color. Amazon handled the exchange well but it was an inconvenience. Second the installation instructions are not that clear. I had to use the spacers thinking that they should be directly across from one another. This is not the case as the latch catches are not on center, so when the gate is closed it is not parallel with the wall. Its not that noticable, but if you install it yourself, you are reminded of it every time you see it. The other thing is that I had to cut a board to mount the hinge side to my stair railing. The height of the gate is a lot shorter than a normal railing, so if you don’t have square ballisters, plan on an additional piece you will need to make for a good installation. Overall the gate seems sturdy and my daughter loves to pull herslef up on it and look through especially if someone is on the otherside. I trust it, and I guess that is what is important.

    First of all, I am not an engineer but am pretty savvy with instructions and installations. I have purchased several other gates and never had a problem.

    1. This gate is made of quality material but the hardware sent with it is crap.

    2. If you buy this, throw out the directions. They are COMPLETELY worthless.

    3. The gate latching system isn’t easy to use and honestly hurts my finger as the day wears on. When my small baby arrives, I will have a hard time juggling him and my toddler while trying to open this gate. Not good.

    4. Your stair configuration must be PERFECT or this gate will not work. We were one of the lucky people that this DIDN’T work for. I opted to install it in our hallway versus sending the gate back. Honestly, I wish I had sent it back. It really doesn’t serve my needs like I wanted since the stair option was out.

    5. If I could do this again, I would buy something else and forget about blocking my stairs (pressure mounted gate with foot pedal or something!).

    Being a new Dad and this being my first attempt to put a gate at the top of my stairs I had hoped it would go a bit more smoothly. I like putting things together but am definitely not a carpenter and installing this gate has been a bit of a project due to the shape of my stairs and the base board trim. Nice solid gate but the directions are a tad confusing. The head of the first screw I used snapped off when I tried to snug it flush (by hand). the rest have worked fine. It seems to work fine after 1 day but I am concerned with the durability of the plastic latches and hinges. If anything breaks I will update my post. As for looks i give it 5 stars.
