My 3 little dogs made it impossible to answer the front door. They would rush it anytime someone rang the bell. This gate works great. I can now answer the door and not try to control the dogs.

The door is great and latches well. It looks so much better than other gates I have bought, I bought a second one for my stairs.

Works, assembles easy and built well.

Nice looking, guests often comment on the quality look. Can be used to block standard door opening or opened out to section off a room or portion of a larger area.

Perfect solution for stair way gate for when grands visit. No need to drill holes in wall! Sturdy and has a walk-thru gate so you don't have to climb over the gate!

The sides are adjustable and have plastic hinges. One of the joint hinges cracked from just lifting the panel to adjust it. So now its not stable enough to use.

I have owned this gate for eight years. Bought it directly from Richell when I got a ten week-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It is very sturdy and has held up beautifully!! A large dog could easily push it out of place, but the gate snaps firmly into place. It would be difficult for an animal to open the gate since it has to be lifted slightly in order to swing it open. I highly recommend it for smaller dogs.

After long hours of searching for a gate to fit my stairs at the base of my stair giving me room to step down, I ended up having to order this one. I didn't want to pay this much for a dog gate but I was very happy when I found out it worked. The gate I needed, had to be tall, bars close together, adjustable width, have a door that would open in the front or back and free standing. The gate door opens easily and opens wide for passage either side. The flexibility of the gate enabled me to position it where I needed it. It could be a little more stable when opening the gate door it can move a little and that is why I gave sturdiness a 4. I gave it a five because it was the only gate I could find that would work. My little Yorkie puppy s a jumper, climber and can move faster than lightening.

We have a fairly open floor plan and needed a gate where we don't really have walls (just furniture pieces) so this was ideal. The gate is very sturdy and easy to open. Very happy with my purchase despite how expensive it was.

Stylish but not durable. Did keep the Husky in her place but one of the little legs broke when my 10 year old tripped in it. Had it less than 2 months. A lot of money wasted.

I like that it is free standing and does not rely on the wall or doorway to keep it up. The doorway in the gate swings either way and will stay open to allow us to always leave it up even when the grand puppy is not visiting.

We bought this gate in anticipation of visitors' dogs over the holidays. It is easily the best dog gate we've ever had, though at $140 it was definitely overpriced. This is our second free-standing dog gate; we have tried several spring-loaded ones.Pros: very easy to maneuver, adjustable to fit whatever doorway you're looking to gate, withstood two 20lb puppies scratching and trying to tip it over for an entire week. We did have to reposition the gate so that the sides were inside the room where we kept the pups, as one learned if she pushed it hard enough the gate would slide back and she could squeeze out the angled side panel. No issues after we repositioned it!Cons: My husband said the gate was a little hard to assemble, though found it no more challenging than Ikea furniture. My elderly mother did sometimes trip because she did not pick up her feet enough to get over the threshold, which caused the gate to wobble and made her unsteady. Final con: our home is old and the floors are uneven, so we really wish this gate came with adjustable feet to balance it on uneven floors (if you have level floors this won't be an issue).

Looks nice in my home. Gonna buy another.

The top latch is in pieces. Need a replacement.

I have an irregular opening to my kitchen, and this gate is so easy to configure to the space. It's the only free-standing gate I've found that also has a door! Don't hesitate to buy this one! Well constructed and looks great too!

This gate looks very nice and serves its purpose. You have to be mindful when opening/adjusting the side panels; and I've asked our household to please be gentle opening and closing the gate. If you read the instructions and pull up on the main section to release the side panels for adjusting then all should go well. This is all that is needed to contain our little dog but I do not think this would be the best choice for a large or rambunctious dog.

Muy bonito y elegante, perfecto para mantener a mi gatito alejado de la puerta.

It is so very unstable....As well as the mechanism to keep the gate door fastened never worked! If I had known would never have order....We are very disappointed in this product!

30 day return policy and nothing else to contact buyer. Buyer BEWARE. This item seemed sturdy enough but now after about six weeks, busted. The gate's upper adjustable swing just cracked in half. And it appears to be a part which may be able to be glued but will it still have the capability to swing? Just hoping this finds the seller and makes them aware of their return policy, While I would like a full refund or exchange for another style gate, at least a number or email to contact would be great. We bought another Richell gate but there are less moving parts and that one seems to be sturdy enough. PLEASE CONTACT ME.THANK YOU
