Good, but not perfect (2009-06-26)
The gate works well for our needs, but doesn't always latch on its own. We manually latch it each time. We use our gate to keep our dogs in our familyroom. After the dogs have pushed on it for a while, the gate may no longer be straight. But all in all, it does what it is made to do. The gate keeps dogs/toddlers in.

Looks nice, works poorly (2009-05-14)
This beautiful gate has one major downfall, it doesn't work very good. It is supposed to have a little button at the top that realeases to open the gate, after instalation that latch wasn't in a location to even work. To set up you have to tighten it into the doorway and it builds pressure at the top till it supposedly comes into contact with the latch. By the time I got that far, the bottom of the gate was so tight that the latch at the bottom was very tight. The only way to opperate it is to lift the gate and carefully set it in the hole at the bottom. If you want a gate that closes by itself, this is not the one for you, the spring didn't do much at all after the first day. Still, if you set if properly, it does its job and it still looks very nice.

Beautiful, sturdy, slight tripping hazard (2009-03-27)
Originally, when I purchased this item it was $59.99. The item arrived in a timely manner thought the shipping box was damaged in the corner. The gate was in good shape, though.

Pros:
-Solid wood
-Fairly sturdy design

Cons:
-The foot spacer is a tripping hazard
-The wall support bars may damage wall board
-The wall supports need to be tightened often

Although I have more cons than pros listed, I would still purchase this item as a pet gate. I do not think it is sturdy enough to be a child proof gate on stairs.

Beautiful solution (2009-03-19)
I use this gate to keep pets out of the back of our house. It is attractive, easy to use and does the job. Read all instructions prior to assembling to get an understanding of how it works. You will get the results wanted.

THIS GATE IS NONFUNCTIONAL!! (2009-02-13)
If I could give this gate 0 stars, i would. It's completely nonfunctional. I was really excited about this gate when I ordered it. However, as nice as it looks, it is a bigger pain than it's worth. I'm very disappointed, especially considering this was an expensive gate. The pressure mounts don't work. The gate slides out of place each time the gate is opened and closed, which is what makes it nonfunctional.
