don't trip over this
By Jo from wayne illinois on 2/28/2008
Pros:
Easy Assembly
Cons:
Breaks easily, Flimsy
Best Uses:
Small Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner

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.

Pros:
Easy Assembly, Easy to Transport
Cons:
Not for large dogs
Best Uses:
Small Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner

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.

Awesome product
By KarinVerified Reviewer from Las Vegas, NV on 1/8/2008
Pros:
Easy Assembly, Effective, Lightweight, Safe
Cons:
Difficult to Transport
Best Uses:
At work, Large Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

 
Very stylish
By Bichon momVerified Reviewer from Charlotte, NC on 1/7/2008
Pros:
Easy to Transport, Effective, Lightweight, Safe, Stylish
Cons:
Assembly instructions
Best Uses:
Small Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

 
Good Buy
By SteffiVerified Reviewer from Concord, CA on 1/5/2008
Pros:
Attractive Styling, Easy Assembly, Easy to Transport, Effective, Lightweight
Cons:
Big dog might jump over
Best Uses:
Small Dogs, Training
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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!

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.

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.

 
Good quality but not very tall
By Gate ReviewerVerified Reviewer from Pacific Northwest on 12/28/2007
Pros:
Easy Assembly, Secure
Cons:
Ineffective
Best Uses:
Small Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner

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.

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.

 
Love it!
By ChristyVerified Reviewer from Northern VA on 12/20/2007
Pros:
Easy Assembly, Effective, Lightweight, Safe
Best Uses:
Ferrets, Small Dogs
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

 
Keeping dogs downstairs

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.

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!

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.

I'm very happy with this product.

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.

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.

This pet gate is great because it does not attach to the doorway and is easy to pick up and move.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

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.)
