I have several that I use throughout the house...
from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl on 7/21/2008
It is just the right size. We don't even have to move it. We can step right over it. It is Great.
from Plaistow, NH on 7/20/2008
We have two of the gates and use them on our deck if we don't want our two dogs to go out and dig.
from Wake Forest, NC on 7/19/2008
This product came in a large box but was very easy to put together. The sections are not small so you have to have appropriate storage for them. It is very nice looking as well.
from Shelby, North Carolina on 7/18/2008
keeps my dogs from going downstairs
from Bossier City, LA on 6/27/2008
This is a beautiful gate! I have 3 dogs (1 small and 2 large)who always run to the front windows to watch people walking by. They tore up the wood surrounding the windows! I put the gate at the entranceway of the entrance hall. They no longer even try to get to the windows.
from toms river nj on 6/20/2008
Great at keeping the dogs from going upstairs!
from new york on 6/13/2008
Large dog could push the gate.
from tenn on 5/23/2008
great product
from Fairfield, IA on 5/20/2008
Attractive pet gate. Keeps small dogs fenced in, but you can easily step over gate. Use to keep dog on front porch.
The photo makes the gate appear much larger thanb it really is. I just installed it and will let everyone know in a week or so if it does the job. Very easy assembly and looks great
from Austin TX on 4/18/2008
Perfect for small or medium non high jumping dogs. Beautiful gate yet easy to step over.
from Brookfield WI on 4/15/2008
The product is used to control the spaces occupied by our pet.
from Bergen county, New Jersey on 4/14/2008
This gate is attractive and easy to assemble. Best of all it keeps my yorkie puppy out of trouble!

Goes with decor easy to step over

it's freestanding, and versatile
from Salt Lake City, Utah on 3/28/2008
The things that I like the most about this gate are that it is nice looking and very wide.

I love the look of this gate. With no marks on my wood trim. The problem is that if you trip stepping over it (and someone will eventually if you keep it up everyday) it breaks apart. I have had mine less than a year and it will be in the trash this weekend. The wood cracks very easily.
from Denver, CO on 2/8/2008
It's very hard to find a wide gate for pet restraint.
from Miami, Fl on 2/5/2008
To keep dog in kitchen at night or during day when we are away from home (or want to keep him away from the cat's food.) The cat leaps right over, so it is no deterrent for her. Definitely a nice looking product. More like a piece of furniture than like the child safety gates of old.
from virginia beach, va on 1/28/2008
use the product to keep dogs out of carpeted rooms. attractive barrier. easy to step over or move.
from Merritt Island, Fl on 1/27/2008
Use the gate away from my dogs during work mhours. Easy to put into position. Can't find anything wrong with it.
from phoenix az on 1/12/2008
works very well w/small dogs; large dog can leap over when stimuli tempt her. Looks very good in the home, like a piece of well-designed furniture.
from Carlisle, Ohio on 1/11/2008
Gate is wonderful. We use it block our dog from going into the hallway and bedrooms
from Bellmore, NY on 1/8/2008
My labrador retriever is recovering from acl surgery. This helped to keep her contained without making her feel caged or frightened. Visitors commented on its furniture look and effectiveness.
from Las Vegas, NV on 1/8/2008
I bought the freestanding pet gate (small) to use when I bring my dog to work. I put it in my cubicle doorway backwards, so that my dog can see what's going on up and down the hallway, yet still be confined by the gate. I noted "difficult to transport" simply because it comes apart in four pieces of different sizes. Each one is easy to move, but they slide when you try to pick them all up.
from Charlotte, NC on 1/7/2008
The only negative is that the assembly instructions were far more complicated than they needed to be. Throw away the instructions and look at the picture.
I have short dogs and this gate is very effective, easy to step over and looks tremendously better than the baby gate that I was using. I'm not sure I'd recommend this for taller dogs. It's easy to move and doesn't mar the woodwork. Very, very nice.
from Concord, CA on 1/5/2008
The only drawback to this item is that smart dogs might be able to slide/push the gate out of the way with their nose. But we were able to overcome this with just a little adjustment in how we placed the gate in the entryway. Otherwise a very attractive, effective way to keep our dog out of the living room and off the sofa!
from Texas on 1/5/2008
I like that it isn't permanantly attached. Looks great.
from Milford, DE on 1/5/2008
The freestanding pet gate was easy to put up. It was also easy to move from room to room. I used it to keep my puppy away from the Christmas tree this year, and it work great.
from Manchester on 1/5/2008
Very Stylish. Well made. Easy to assemble. Keeps your pet from getting into areas that could cause trouble.
from Charlotte, NC on 1/4/2008
My daughter asked for this for a Christmas present. The above comments are based on my conversations with her. The great things about the gate is the flexibilty for use for she and her dogs both at home and for use at other peoples home when she travels.

from Brookline, NH on 1/4/2008
This gate allows you to effectively block an entrance without damaging the walls. I have a 50 lb. bulldog that does not jump or maneuver the gate whatsoever. A great buy that looks great too!
from Lubbock, Texas on 1/4/2008
It was surprisingly perfect for us - we need to keep the dog out of certain rooms yet are too lazy to want to move it, so we step over it. Our dog is large, but won't push at the gate when we tell him not to, so it works for us.
from New Hartford,NY on 1/4/2008
The freestanding pet gate is perfect for pet training. The style is wonderful for blocking off the living room- yet easy to move. I wish I had purchased it sooner!!
from Falls Church, VA on 1/3/2008
I bought this pet gate as a gift for boss's family and they loved it! It works equally well for small puppy that can now see through bars (and doesn't whine as much) and big dog who respects it. Best of all, it is very nice looking consistent with their beautiful home.
from Pacific Northwest on 12/28/2007
Pros:
---------------------------------
- Well Constructed: the wood frame and metal bars are well constructed
- Stable: after assembly the gate is very stiff and stable
- Easy to Assemble: you need a screwdriver to assemble the gate but it's very straightforward if you layout all the pieces before you assemble it
Cons:
---------------------------------
- Short Height: the picture implies that the gate is tall, but this is not the case. The gate is 20 inches tall and that's not very much. Any cat can easily leap over the gate and medium to large dogs can hurdle the gate
- Need Tools to Change Width: the description says the gate can be adjusted (extended) to fit varying widths. While this is true, I expected it would be adjustable without tools (like a baby gate) but you need a screwdriver to adjust the width of this gate which is not something you can do on the fly when moving the gate from one doorway to another.
from New Paltz, NY on 12/20/2007
This is the best gate on the market! It goes with my decor so well, that I've been asked if it's custom made. Easy to move from place to place too. Highly recommend if you need to keep pets out of an area.
from Northern VA on 12/20/2007
This gate is great for blocking areas for ferrets as the gate has less than 2 inch gaps preventing climbing. I don't recommend this for dogs as it could be easily jumped or moved."adjustable" should be better clarified. The gate size can be adjusted, however it is not instantaneous and requires tools.
from Algonquin, IL on 12/20/2007
Both large dogs could easily jump the gate. Only one has done so, but will not do it unless coaxed to do so. Keeps the dogs where they are supposed to be.
from Cleveland, OH on 12/19/2007
Looks very good while doing the job of restricting a pet's access to a room. I love the fact that it extends to fit a 5' opening.
from Phoenix, AZ on 12/19/2007
This is a pet gate that is functional yet makes a statement. We chose the larger size so that we can use it in more than one area of our home. We've also had guests compliment on the appearance of the gate so we're not concerned about keeping it out when entertaining. So far, it's working great!
from Chester Springs, PA on 12/19/2007
The portability and versatility in size, and the fact that this is free standing, make it a VERY useful item for keeping animals out of/off of many things! Thanks!
from Santa Clarita, CA on 12/19/2007
I love this gate. It works for my large and small dogs as well as my one year old. I especially like how well it goes with our decor, unlike other metal gates. I've had many compliments on it.
from San Jose, CA on 12/19/2007
We use this gate to keep our little poodle out of the living room. Our opening is 72". We don't attach both sides together so that we can open one side to enter. Nice construction and finish.
from Phoenix, AZ on 12/19/2007
No more tripping over safety gates that were too tall. The height is perfect....easy to get over everytime. Also, the gate looks upscale so it won't make your decor look trashy. I love it.
from Avon, CT on 12/19/2007
The gate keeps the dogs out of areas we do not wish to have them enter and yet is easy to step over because of the height.
from Aliso Viejo, CA on 12/19/2007
This looks so much better than plastic alternatives and can easily be moved if one does not want to go over gate. My old cats don't jump over it so it works out great for keeping them off the new carpet!
from Burns, TN on 12/13/2007
We have a open floor plan and needed to confine the "Babies" in when we are not at home -- these gates did the trick -- they are large enough to accomodate the wide openings in the house.
from Chesterton, IN on 11/3/2007
I love it. Keeps my dogs away from my cat food.
from Reno, NV on 11/2/2007
My 15 year old dog insisted on going up and down the stairs but I am no longer sure of her ability to do so due to arthritis. I use it for her safety to keep her from using the stairs without our supervision.
I like the styling, portability and sturdiness.
Great looking, high quality product. Instructions not the best. Not tall enough for bigger dogs though. Perfect size to step over. Received the large gate a couple of days ago and ordering the small gate today.
from minneapolis minnesota on 10/24/2007
excellent. easy to relocate but very sturdy, looks good even when company is around. I would purchase it again and again whenever needed.
from titusville, nj on 10/23/2007
good looking
from titusville, nj on 10/23/2007
easy to move about and looks good
from Columbia, SC on 10/23/2007
We use the dog gate to keep our 3 dogs out of the living room when not supervised. It is much more attractive than the "baby gates" we were using and it's profile and styling actually complement our decor. The height is good for our smaller dogs, but a taller version would be great for larger breeds.
from Southern NH on 10/23/2007
We use this at the foot of our stairway to prevent our dog from going upstairs--upstairs is cat territory.
It's low enough for us to step over and for the cats to jump over, is portable, and looks good.
I'm very happy with this product.
from Morganville, NJ on 10/23/2007
This is the most attractive gate I have ever owned. It looks nice with the decor of my house and since it is a freestanding my walls are not damaged. It is the perfect height to keep my dog in the kitchen and low enough for the kids to walk over.
from HOUSTON, TEXAS on 10/22/2007
THIS PRODUCT BLENDS WITH MY FURNITURE IN DINING ROOM AND ENTRY WAY.
from midwest on 10/22/2007
Looks like a piece of furniture; easy to assemble and easy to adjust
from Spring, TX on 10/22/2007
This gate works perfect for our little pug dog. The gate was very easy to assemble. My only complaint is that once assembled, the gate does not break down quickly for storage. But it is very long and looks like a piece of furniture - not a child's gate at all. We use the gate on the front porch to prevent the dog from running into the street. It's easy to step over and is lightweight.
from Smyrna GA on 10/22/2007
We use the gate at the top of stairs to keep our cat from getting upstairs. She has never jumped it.
from New Jersey on 10/22/2007
This is the best looking pet gate I have ever seen. If you are extemely careful, it is low enough to step over. After one of my family members tripped walking over the gate, we have a rule in our house that we move the gate to walk through. It is light weight enough so that it is not a problem. I will be purchasing another for another area of my home.
from Vinton, VA on 10/22/2007
This pet gate is great because it does not attach to the doorway and is easy to pick up and move. We found that other pet gates damaged our pocket door frame, so this it the perfect solution to our problem. I was impressed with the quality and would recommend it to anyone who wants a pet gate that is as good looking as it is functional.
from Irvine, CA on 10/22/2007
Product is extremely well built and thought out. However, product tends to tip if you have a larger or heavier dog. My dog (a large Beagle) stands on his rear legs and attempts to put his front paws on the top rail of the gate...sometimes i slides, other times it tips slightly. Still, a very good product.
from Ocean Ridge, Florida on 10/22/2007
This is the most attractive pet gate I have bought and it fits in a kitchen that has the same color cabinets in light wood.
from Chicago, IL on 10/22/2007
I wish I had bought this pet gate earlier - it compliments the wood floors I have in my house and keeps my pet from going upstairs. I highly recommend this product to anyone with a small dog. (I have a 12 pound terrier.)
from Indiana on 10/22/2007
This product is exactly what we neededto look good while keeping our dogs where we want them.
from Deland, FL on 10/22/2007
The gate is used to keep a Jack Russell from jumping onto the front double entry glass leaded doors.
from Lincoln, CA on 10/22/2007
