My Son Made a Door!
"Look mom, I made a door in the gate" says my son, holding a piece of wood proudly. Easy to tear apart, not durable, but I'm ordering a replacement nonetheless, because otherwise I was very satisfied.

Does the job at a good price
This is our first gate so I don't know how it stacks up against the more expensive ones out there, but it is very easy to install and works just as advertised. It's easy to open with one hand and is as sturdy as I was hoping it would be. Since it has an adjustable width there is some play between the two halves of the gate which may cause a little rattle when opening, but it isn't a problem for me. I'm ready to buy another. Also, I had no problem with the template for the screws like someone else mentioned - you just have to pull the paper tight in order to get an accurate hole location!

Solves the problem
I have owned these gates in the past for my other home and now that I have a two-story home I purchased them for the top of the stairs. They work great and look as good as you can expect. This gate is the best one I've found and at a resonable price. Definitely recommend.

Easy to install
This product was easy to install and I like the fact that the wood is unfinished, so it can match everything else in the house. This gate is taller, so I don't worry about my son being able to climb over it. We also like that it can swing either direction. Great product!

Works
This baby gate reflects the price. It is unfinished wood, not bad not great, ok hardware, not bad not great. It is exactly what you pay for. BUT, it works and that's what matters. Opening and closing is doable and it keeps the baby safe and away from the staircase. I would recommend this. Why pay twice as much for another gate that will do the same job? Afterall it's only a couple year fix. You dont' need a $70 or more $$ gate. There are plenty of other necessary expenses for a baby.
