Looks great, works great!
Friends and neighbors were amazed when we popped this gate up in less than an hour, and it looked completely professional. "That looks so great, much nicer than any baby gate we've ever seen" is a typical remark. We took out 2 sections and have used it to keep our 8 month old away from our wood burning stove. We're using sort of a modified 1/4 octagon shape, which fits our room and stove to a tee. The gate is easy to operate, and secure. Thumbs up!

Great product!
We purchased this gate because we have a wood burning stove and also a 15 month child. It was easy to set up and we are 100% satisfied with how sturdy it is. Great buy...

Nice quality gate - just as pictured
Every other baby gate we found was hideously ugly, unless you pay someone to install a custom gate. I used this gate to separate my son's play area from the rest of the house, so I didn't quite use it for the purpose intended, but it worked very well. Only problem for that purpose is that the major part of the gate's stability comes from bending each individual gate - if you run it straight across the room, it will fall over very easily. So I've got zig zagging a bit, but it looks fine.

I like it so much I'm buying another one to run along the exterior wall to keep him away from the power outlets and our low windows.

Works for side-loading stoves.
I rearranged the segments of this gate to put the swinging doorway on the last segment. This layout was to accommodate a side-loading wood stove. It was very easy to hook/unhook the segments.

Before ordering the product I called Kidco customer service to see whether the gate could be arranged in this fashion and the rep, while helpful, could not give me a solid answer. The answer is, yes, the doorway segment can be anywhere and the gate seems to be just as sturdy and can still be bolted to a wall.

Peace of mind
We purchased this gate to keep our one year old son away from the fireplace. It was a little difficult to get each piece into the angle we wanted but now that it is set up it seems very secure (despite our son's attempts at shaking it apart). One negative is that we couldn't move the gate over one section. We have a fireplace insert so we need to swing a door open to feed the fire and having the gate opening where it is makes it a little cramped for us. Otherwise, we are very happy with the product. The gate door is very easy to open with one hand, which is so convenient. We will probably end up using it around our BBQ for the next few summers as well. I would recomend this product to a friend.
