Great Purchase
Needed an inexpensive gate to keep dog on front porch without tying him up. Gate fits opening perfectly and he's free to move about. Everybody's happy!
Happy dog mom

    Still the easiest and most solid baby gate
    I have used this style/brand for many years. Started with my children and then restarted with dogs. These are strong and take a lot of jumping, bumping, climbing, etc. They are easy to set up and work for different width doors. Initially, they are a little hard to latch with the plastic locking piece, but it does get easier after it is used a few times. As a mom and pet owner, I highly recommend these gates.

    JUNK VETY CHEAPLY MADE
    junk. Very short,plastic webbing in the super porous cheap wood could be bent and or cut with paper scissors. do not buy if using for your children. im using to keep my older dog out of a room but im sure he could push thru these. locking mechanism is cheap plastic. i do not recommend!!!!

    This might not be the baby gate for you….
    While not a bad product, the company has redesigned the compression mechanism latch and it is more difficult to operate versus the original clip style latch. It requires two hands to operate with a modicum of difficulty. I most likely will not purchase this item again, but instead look for something that offers a better ease of use.

    NOT DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE
    This was left leaning against a mailbox at the end of our driveway, which is 200 yards from our house on a busy highway. It was NOT delivered to my house. I am very disappointed. Walmart delivery used to be great.

    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.

    Not good
    Received with a piece broken off and wood cracked on side, also no instructions supplied. The box had no damage so I don't understand how it got damaged. Decided to make it work as can't wait for another. It is for the purpose of making sure my tiny puppy doesn't fall down our front steps.

    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.

    Good product for the money. Does very well
    It is easy to set up and holds to the wall very well. I purchased this for 2 dogs who are rambunctious. They get very excited and will stand up against the gate and I have not had any problems with it coming loose. I can easily see the gate being able to hold a toddler unless the child kept pulling at the gate. Good product the money.

    Useful baby gate...for small dog
    I bought 3 of these gates to help keep my small puppy/dog out of certain rooms. For my needs they are working well. The gate fits standard door frames, however the gate width can only be adjusted in 1/2" increments so although it fits the doorway, it fits more snuggly in some than others. I'd recommend this gate for small dogs/puppies about 10lb, however gates seem kind of flimsy for use with toddlers or larger dogs who can push on it more strongly. Gate is light weight & easy to set up. It's made out of wood & thin plastic (not tough, durable plastic which is better for toddlers & larger animals). Oh! Its also seems a bit shorter than some other baby gates which makes it easier for me to climb over the gate when I go from room to room.

    Great for the price! Read the directions.
    Can't beat it for the price. Those who are saying it's just a little too big or too small or flimsy aren't reading the directions and using the extra parts properly.

    One arrived damaged
    I ordered two, one was great and the other arrived damaged but it still worked. Disappointed that there's no way to contact the seller.

    Wonderful easy barrier
    Great prohibitive gate for kids and mutts - but wouldn't leave a child unattended on top of stairs.

    Great for the price!
    Purchased to keep puppy from going up stairs. The pictures were helpful in showing how to operate. Very light weight and locks into place pretty good. We marked the right groove with a marker.

    Good for small dogs and toddlers but small flaws
    Works great to keep my toddler out of the bathroom, but there are a couple reasons I just can't give it 5 stars. First if you have a teething baby they will absolutely wreck the wood by chewing on it. I used to use it for my kitchen and I constantly had to keep my teething baby away from it because he was biting so much it was starting to make pieces come off. Also as for using it as a dog gate it will only work if you have a small dog that does not jump well. My small 14lb dog can jump over it, which works for us because it was meant for the toddler not the dog, but if you are considering it for a small dog, just know if they know how to jump well they may be able to get over it fairly easily.

    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

    Eh, Not so sturdy.
    I gave it 3 stars because its not as sturdy as they used to make them. Also as stated by other reviews the rubber ends do stain/mark your walls. The wood seems rather weak for what its meant to do. It will do for now as I am just trying to keep my elderly furbaby in one spot of the home.

    An old standard with a change
    This gate has been a staple in our family over the years. It has helped with many pets and three children. I always loved the ease of use and versatility. I just bought two 32" gates after years of being gate-less. I was disappointed to see that Evenflow had changed the locking mechanism from the metal- easy to use- to a plastic model that is difficult to use and lesser quality. I assume it is cheaper for Evenflow but also makes the gate much less desirable. The picture on the website shows the former metal latch not what it actually has.
