It's probably more 3.5 stars but it works for my situation. I'm using it to keep cats separated. So far no escapes! I love that the doors swing both ways, like a saloon door. I love that there are no tools to install and no holes in my floor or ceiling. It's held together by pressure. It took maybe 20 minutes to install from box to doorway. I took a chance and ordered it for a door opening of 37 inches. About .5 inches more than recommended. There are 3 locking handles that you can slide up and down the door. The bad: the gate feels flimsy. The material is light and cheap. It works perfectly for cats but i wouldn't use it for dogs over 15lbs. I probably wouldn't use it for toddlers either. The color is slightly off white (I wanted a crisp white). The most disappointing part are the handles. I'm scared I will need replacement handles very soon. They feel like they may break. If the handles were better made I would have given this product 5 stars.
