Cheap cost and very cheap made
we've used this type of gate for 20 yrs for our dogs. We have a 20 ur old one that is still perfect and has all metal hinges, etc. This new one we got is very cheap both in price and feel. It is light as a feather and all the parts are cheap plastic. It is hard to figure out how to close at first as well. We will keep it for our dogs but do not expect it to last long at all. The plastic mesh is thin and feels like it will break if you look at it. The wood is light and cheap feeling. The closure is cheap plastic. I certainly would NOT use this for a child AT ALL! I cannot believe they are allowed to sell that's for use with children. It keeps our dogs out of another room but I would not trust it for stairs or anything else. Very disappointed in the new model. Would not recommend unless it's to keep dogs out of a room and I ly under supervision. I know our dog could shred this if left alone with the opportunity.

    Broke in less than 24 hours
    Cracked after using for only one day. This is with minimal wear and tear I bought this so my dogs stay out of my basement not for a child so this happened without a child pulling on it or anything. $14 down the drain. Super disappointed.

    Very disappointed.
    This gate does not work on certain widths of doors. It also has a lock on it that was not shown in the main picture when purchased. I can't use it and I can't take it back because I through away the paperwork. Never thought I would need a degree to figure out a baby gate. Why do you have to change something that worked? Very disappointed.

    New Design - Awful
    I'm wondering if I'm the only one who really dislikes this newly designed baby gate. When something works & works well leave it alone!!!!!! I hate the new mechanisms. They don't slide easily and just frustrating to use. The old style was so easy & simple to us. IMO this new design is junk. Won't be buying them again.

    Works for me
    I like it for what I need it for. Not sure if strength. I use it to block stairs from dog going up so it is between railings freely, not on wall, nor did I use the wall brackets. Looks nicer then the old white ones that make with the light wood. Very stylish.

    Terrible to initially open!
    Just purchased today, 3/14/2022. NOT easy to open initially! I have been using you tube videos and I can not get the gate to unlock. One video suggested a flat head screwdriver, nope! Go with another less expensive brand/style. Look at the you tube reviews, many others can not open this gate.

    6.99 more but same flimsy product
    I have been purchasing this product on and off for years. Dont expect it to last more than a year. Also, the item used to be 9.99 (May 2021) but it is now 16.98 (March 2022). Save yourself a headache and invest in a better product.

    Save your money!
    Terrible! First one I bought, thought it broke because I left it outside briefly in the rain. Bought 2 more and never left them in the rain, broke within a couple months. Requires a lot of strain on the flimsy wood to be secure and the whole gate starts warping to compensate. Then, one day, crack!

    Not for babies, definitely not.
    It is not very strong. My 12 month old tore it down in one attempt. It uses wall sticky paper to hold it onto the wall and that is not good enough. Still looking for one that will work for us.

    Not very safe for baies or toddles
    They changed the style and you cant get it tight enough. I got it to block area off from my dogs. Even tho tlit comes with plastic holders so it wont pop out under weight. It still does. Would not trust this with a baby or young toddler. Not very safe.

    Horrible purchase, it is flimsy and crappy quality
    I wish I could give it a zero!!! This gate is junk, doesn't stay in place … my kid was able to knock it over and it could have hurt him … trying to lock the thing is terrible as one notch down didn't hold and one notch up the bar flexed out and the gate would twist. Don't waste your money on this … I literally bought it a few days ago and it's already going in the trash … I'm not letting my son get hurt with this crappy excuse for a gate.

    This could seriously hurt a child.
    This gate sucks!! Waste of money! It keeps falling over when my baby grabs it! He could seriously get hurt! Even adjusting the bar to keep it stuck in place doesn't help!!

    a little disappointed
    Not very sturdy. Most of all the increments for sizing are not useful for my doorways. It's either too tight and cracked or the next option is too loose. I'm able to work with it b/c my little dogs don't even try to mess with it. They respect the boundary, luckily.

    Disappointed
    I'm disappointed in these gates. They don't adjust the way I need them. I'm having to put something against them to keep my dogs from getting into the rooms I bought them for

    Cheap, but does the trick.
    This gate definitely helps in a pinch, though I keep waiting to accidentally break it one of these times. it feels so flimsy, and the small wooden beams feel like they get less sturdy with every use. It has held up so far though. Many times my son grabs it and pulls himself up. So far nothing too bad has happened. Does the job it was designed to do. Questionable materials, but it works.

    Do not buy online especially the dark wood color
    I had bought the light wood color fence few yea ago and it was a joy format but not bad for $10 at the store. Bought again recently via online (paid more about $17) in the dark wood color but for one it's almost like a washed dark walnut stain not a sold painted coat and two it arrived broken in two different parts
