The gate seemed like the solution I was looking for, but failed before I could even use it. The assembly is theoretically very simple. Unfortunately, the holes into which the bolts -- which, when adjusted, would provide the necessary tension to keep the gate in place -- were far too large. The bolts slid in and out with ease. They are not supposed to do that. The threads on the bolts had nothing to grip onto, and were therefore unable to provide the necessary tension to hold the gate in place. I am returning it for a refund.
